Metricool alternative
Chirpy vs Metricool
Metricool is an analytics-led planner with a free plan and low prices that scale with the number of brands you manage. Chirpy has no free plan and costs more, because it does the content work as well: it learns your brand from your website, writes and designs the posts, publishes them and sorts the comments. Whether that is worth it depends on how much of your week goes into making posts.
Which one fits you
Chirpy fits better if
- You have outgrown a free plan and want unlimited posts with X and LinkedIn included.
- Most of your time goes into writing captions and designing images, not reading analytics.
- You want AI video, carousels and product photos in the same place you schedule.
Metricool fits better if
- You want a free plan, or the lowest price for scheduling and analytics across many brands.
- You post to Threads, Bluesky, Twitch or Google Business Profile, or report on Facebook, Google and TikTok ads.
- You want unlimited team members, a Data Studio connector and API access on Advanced.
Metricool's free plan limits
Metricool's pricing page lists its Free plan as 1 brand, up to 20 scheduled posts a month, 30 days of analytics and 5 competitor profiles, on every network except LinkedIn and X. Its AI assistant comes with 5 credits per brand a month on Free.
Chirpy has no free plan. Every plan includes unlimited posts and scheduling with X and LinkedIn, and starts with a 7-day free trial with no credit card. Basic is $49 a month for 5 social accounts.
X (Twitter) without an add-on
X is not available on Metricool's Free plan. On paid plans, its pricing page lists a Twitter/X add-on at $10 a month per connected account, and notes that X metrics are stored for 30 days.
On Chirpy, X is included on every plan with no add-on, and Community gathers X comments with the other networks on Advanced and up.
Price, brands and a team of five
Metricool prices by the number of brands, and each brand holds one profile per network. Paid monthly, Starter is $25 a month for up to 5 brands and $45 for up to 10. Advanced, which adds team and client management, roles and post approvals, is $67 for up to 15 brands, $107 for 25 and $210 for 50. Paid annually, Starter starts at $20 and Advanced at $53. Prices exclude VAT.
Metricool's comparison table lists unlimited team members on Advanced, so a team of five can start at $67 a month before any X add-ons. Chirpy Teams is $299 a month for 5 users. On price alone Metricool costs less; what Chirpy's price adds is writing and designing the posts.
What Metricool does well
Metricool is strong on measurement. Paid plans keep analytics with unlimited history, analyze up to 100 competitors and export PDF and PPT reports. It connects Facebook, Google and TikTok ad accounts, includes SmartLinks for link in bio and Flows for comment automations, and supports Threads, Bluesky, Twitch and Google Business Profile.
What Chirpy does with the posts
Chirpy makes the posts you then measure. The AI Brand Kit Wizard reads your website and sets the voice, colors and audience. Campaigns writes a connected run of posts, AI Image Studio designs posters, infographics and carousels, Photoshoot restyles product photos, and AI Video makes short clips on Advanced and up.
Each Monday the Weekly Brief shows what worked, and on Advanced and up, brand reporting exports PDF and Excel reports. Teams adds team workspaces, roles and approval workflows.
