Pricing and trial
Agorapulse prices per user per month and includes ten social profiles with each published plan: Standard at $99, Professional at $149 and Advanced at $199 on monthly billing, with Custom quoted. Profiles beyond the included ten are $15 a month each. PostDelegate prices a band of channels regardless of headcount: $19 for 5, $29 for 10, $39 for 30 and $79 for 100, with team members included from Team upward.
At ten profiles for one person, Agorapulse Standard is $99 against $29 on PostDelegate Team. At thirty profiles for one person it is $399 — the seat plus twenty profiles at $15 — against $39 on PostDelegate Pro. Add a second person to Agorapulse and the total rises by another $99, because the seat is the unit; adding a second person to PostDelegate Team costs nothing.
One caution when reading their page: the billing toggle opens on annual, which shows $79, $119 and $149 per user per month. The figures above are the monthly-billing prices.
Agorapulse's trial is the more generous of the two at 30 days with no card, against 7 days with no card here.
What Agorapulse does that PostDelegate does not
Agorapulse is a social media management suite, not only a scheduler, and the unified inbox is its centre of gravity. Comments and direct messages across connected profiles arrive in one queue that a team can work through, assign and moderate, with saved replies and a record of who answered what. Around it sit listening, employee advocacy, competitive benchmarking and ROI reporting, several of which are separate add-ons quoted on request.
PostDelegate has none of that. It publishes: a calendar, a composer with per-network previews and limits, approvals, media, and analytics for the networks that share statistics — today YouTube and Google Business Profile. If answering your audience is as much of the job as publishing to them, that is a real gap and Agorapulse is the better tool.
Agents: both have MCP, and they do different things
Agorapulse is one of the few tools in this category to ship an MCP connector on all four of its current plans, so a comparison that says "most schedulers have no MCP" no longer holds. What matters is the verb. Its own help centre describes a connector that reads the inbox, listening, analytics and organisation data, and that can create drafts and calendar notes — and states that it does not publish or schedule posts. It also needs your own paid Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot Studio subscription.
The PostDelegate MCP server is on every plan too, and it schedules and publishes. Drafts an assistant creates can be held in an AI review inbox until a person approves them, which is the setting most teams want when an agent has posting rights. If you want an assistant that reads your social data and writes reports, Agorapulse's connector is well suited. If you want one that actually puts the post in the calendar, that is the difference.
Where Agorapulse is the better pick
- Replying matters as much as publishing: the unified inbox, saved replies and assignment are the product, and PostDelegate has no inbox at all.
- You want listening, advocacy or competitive benchmarking alongside scheduling.
- You need Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok or Pinterest today.
- A small number of profiles with several people on them, where per-seat pricing works in your favour.
- You want a 30-day trial rather than 7 days.
Where PostDelegate fits
- Many channels and few people: thirty channels is $39 a month here against $399 there.
- You want the assistant to schedule and publish, not only read and draft.
- You want team members and client approval links without paying per seat.
- You publish to YouTube, Bluesky, Mastodon, blogs, developer communities or community chats.
What to check before choosing
- Whether the exact accounts you manage can connect and publish today.
- The monthly total for your real number of channels and people, not the headline price.
- How you want to pay for AI: included in the plan, or on your own key.
- How approvals work for your team and your clients.
- The support, subscription and data-handling terms of each service.
