Sendible alternatives: six tools compared on client approval, white label and price
Sendible is a scheduler for agencies and multi-location brands, priced by workspace with unlimited users. Agencies leave it when they outgrow a workspace bundle, need a network it does not list, or want white label for less. This guide shows where each alternative puts the agency features, from each vendor's own pages, with one worked cost.

TL;DR
- The right Sendible alternative depends on the agency feature you pay for: SocialPilot for low-cost client approval, Vista Social for white label and client account connection in one plan, Agorapulse for a heavier inbox, Hootsuite for a big suite, Buffer for per-channel posting.
- Sendible charges by workspace, not by seat: Core $30, Plus $84, Premium $169 and Elite $254 a month billed yearly, as of November 10, 2026. Each workspace holds 6 profiles, approvals start on Plus and white label is a paid add-on from Elite.
- For 5 clients with 20 profiles and 3 staff, the other tools' list prices run from $85 a month (SocialPilot Premium) to $1,197 (Hootsuite Advanced), billed annually. Sendible Premium costs $169 for the same agency.

What are the best Sendible alternatives?
The best Sendible alternative is the tool that keeps the agency features you use, client approval, client account connection or white label, on a plan your client count fits. Six tools made this list, each read on its own pricing page on November 10, 2026.
- SocialPilot for agencies that want client approval and unlimited client seats at a low price.
- Vista Social for agencies that want white label and client account connection on one plan.
- Agorapulse for teams that answer many comments and messages, including comments on ads.
- Hootsuite for larger teams that want listening, an inbox and approvals in one suite.
- Buffer for small agencies that only schedule, priced per channel.
- overads for small teams that want posts drafted for them and held until a person approves.
How much does Sendible cost?
Sendible costs from $30 a month for Core to $638 a month for Enterprise, billed yearly, in US dollars, as its pricing page listed them on November 10, 2026. Sendible says yearly billing saves 15%. Every plan has unlimited users; the price rises with the number of workspaces.
| Plan | Workspaces | Profiles | Billed yearly | Billed monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core | 1 | 6 | $30 | $35 |
| Plus | 3 | 18 | $84 | $99 |
| Premium | 7 | 42 | $169 | $199 |
| Elite | 15 | 90 | $254 | $299 |
| Enterprise | 50 | 300 | $638 | $750 |
Extra workspaces are sold as bundles of 6 profiles from the subscription settings, without changing plan; the pricing page does not list their price. Sendible publishes up to 100 posts a day per workspace on Core, rising to 500 on Elite and Enterprise.
On which plan do the agency features start?
The agency features start on different plans in each tool, and that, more than the entry price, decides what an agency pays. The table sets out what each vendor’s pricing page showed on November 10, 2026.
| Tool | Priced by | Approval starts on | Clients connect their own accounts | White label |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sendible | Workspace, unlimited users | Plus (client dashboards to preview and approve on every plan) | Client Connect, every plan | Paid add-on on Elite and Enterprise |
| SocialPilot | Plan by accounts and team members | Standard for team approval; Premium for client approval | Not listed | White-label reports on Premium; full white label on Ultimate |
| Vista Social | Plan by profiles and users | Professional (one stage); Advanced (several stages) | Scale | Reports and dashboard on Scale |
| Agorapulse | Per user, 10 profiles | Professional (one step); Custom (several steps) | Not listed | White-label reports on every plan |
| Hootsuite | Per user | Advanced | Not listed | Not listed |
| Buffer | Per channel, unlimited members on Team | Team | Not listed | Not listed |
| overads | Flat, unlimited workspaces and members | Every plan, when an owner or admin switches it on | Hosted connect link, every plan | Brand name and logo on the connect page only |
“Not listed” means the pricing page read for this guide did not describe it; it may still exist. For approval flows across more tools, with notes on each, see our social media approval workflow comparison.
What would an agency pay with each alternative?
An agency with 5 clients, 20 social profiles (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X for each client) and 3 staff, whose clients approve posts, would pay from $15 to $1,197 a month, depending on the tool. The figures are each vendor’s list price on November 10, 2026, in US dollars before tax, on the lowest plan with approval and room for 20 profiles.
| Tool and plan | Monthly cost | Method |
|---|---|---|
| SocialPilot Premium | $85 billed annually; $100 billed monthly | 25 accounts, 6 team members and unlimited client seats; prices from SocialPilot's July 2026 pricing file |
| Sendible Premium | $169 billed yearly; $199 billed monthly | 5 workspaces needed; Plus holds 3 workspaces and 18 profiles |
| Vista Social Advanced | $188.17 billed yearly; $228 billed monthly | $1,910 a year or $199 a month for 30 profiles and 3 users, plus the X add-on at $29 a month |
| Buffer Team | $200, billed yearly | 20 channels at $10 |
| Agorapulse Professional | $457 billed annually; $597 billed monthly | 3 users at $119 or $149, plus 10 profiles over the included 10 at $10 or $15 |
| Hootsuite Advanced | $1,197, annual billing | 3 users at $399; approvals start on Advanced |
| overads Pro | $15 billed annually; $19 billed monthly | Unlimited workspaces and members |
The example leaves out taxes, discounts, onboarding fees and add-ons other than Vista Social’s X add-on, whose page does not say whether it is charged per account. It assumes clients approve without a paid seat: Sendible’s users and Buffer Team’s members are unlimited, and SocialPilot Premium lists unlimited client seats. Agorapulse’s and Vista Social’s pages do not say whether a client approver needs a seat, and Hootsuite sells every seat.
What do Sendible's own pages disagree on?
Sendible’s pages contradict each other in three places, read on November 10, 2026. Each is worth confirming in the trial before an agency moves its clients.
- Instagram messages. The pricing page network list says Instagram comments and direct messages are managed from one inbox; its FAQ, on the same page, says answering Instagram direct messages is not supported.
- The daily posting limit. The plan table sets the limit per workspace; the FAQ sets it per user and names a Traction plan that the page no longer sells.
- The white label price. The pricing page lists white label as a paid add-on on Elite and Enterprise. The white label page quotes a start of $268 beside $315 “with a 15% annual discount”, and says an onboarding fee may apply.
Is SocialPilot a good Sendible alternative?
SocialPilot is the Sendible alternative for agencies that want client approval at the lowest price. Its pricing file lists client management, client approval workflows and white-label reports from Premium, at $85 a month billed annually for 25 accounts and 6 team members.
- Does well: unlimited client seats from Premium, extra accounts at $4 and extra users at $5 a month, Pinterest publishing, and an MCP server for AI assistants.
- Limits: Essentials at $25.50 has no approval, inbox or analytics, team members are capped below Ultimate, and full white label waits for Ultimate at $170. The plans page shows prices in local currency, so US dollar figures here come from the file, last updated July 2026.
Is Vista Social a good Sendible alternative?
Vista Social is a good Sendible alternative for agencies that want white label and client account connection together. Its pricing page puts white-labelled reports and dashboard, and client profile connection, on Scale, at $449 a month or $4,310 a year for 70 profiles and 4 users.
- Does well: one-stage approval from Professional and several stages from Advanced, listening on your own profiles at no extra cost, and an MCP connection for AI tools.
- Limits: users are capped per plan (2, 3 and 4), X costs $29 a month on top, and listening across the web starts at $75 a month.
Are Agorapulse and Hootsuite good Sendible alternatives?
Agorapulse and Hootsuite replace Sendible for teams that need more inbox and reporting, at a per-user price that Sendible does not charge. Both cost more for an agency with several staff.
- Agorapulse: its pricing page lists an inbox for comments, messages and reviews on every plan, ad comment moderation and one-step approval from Professional at $119 per user a month billed annually, and white-label reports on every plan. Each plan includes 10 profiles; extras cost $10 to $15 a month.
- Hootsuite: its plans page puts approvals on Advanced at $399 per user a month on annual billing, with unlimited social accounts from Professional. Our Hootsuite alternatives guide covers it plan by plan.
Is Buffer a good Sendible alternative?
Buffer is a good Sendible alternative for small agencies that only schedule and want to stop paying for a client the month it leaves. Its pricing page charges $10 per channel a month on Team, billed yearly, with unlimited team members and content approval workflows.
- Does well: per-channel billing, API access, and a community inbox.
- Limits: no client account connection or white label on the pricing page, and approval only on Team. Essentials, at $5 per channel, has 1 user and no approval.
Where does overads fit, and what does it not do?
overads is an AI marketing agent for small teams. It fits a small agency or team that wants its posts written for it and held until a person approves, not a white-labelled dashboard to resell. You describe a job in a sentence; overads drafts the posts in each client’s voice and publishes them on schedule. Pro is $19 a month and Scale is $49; $15 and $39 a month billed annually. Both start with a 3-day trial: a card is required, nothing is charged during it, and the plan is charged on day 3. Until December 31, 2026, the first year of an annual plan is $99 for Pro or $349 for Scale, then $180 or $468 a year.
overads Publish posts to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, Mastodon and Pinterest. The managed workspaces guide describes a workspace per client and a hosted link where the client connects their own accounts, showing the agency’s name and logo. Owners and admins can switch on Require approval in Settings, Rules; the scheduling and approvals guide explains how it holds every post until a member approves, and a client invited as a member can approve. The rule is off until someone switches it on. Meta and Google ad changes run after you approve them; X and Snapchat connect read-only, so overads proposes and a person applies.
What overads does not do, compared with Sendible and most tools above:
- It does not post to Threads, YouTube and TikTok yet, and it does not post to Google Business Profile or WordPress.
- It has no white-labelled dashboard, domain or reports. The client workspace is branded overads; only the connect page carries the agency’s name and logo.
- It has no all-network inbox and no social listening. Sendible, Agorapulse or Hootsuite fit better if those matter.
- It has no reviewer-only client role: a client who approves is a workspace member.
How do you choose a Sendible alternative?
Choose a Sendible alternative by counting your clients, profiles and staff, then pricing only the plans that put client approval and the white label you need within reach. A cheap entry plan rarely carries the agency features.
- Count clients, social profiles per client and staff who need a login.
- Decide whether clients approve posts, connect their own accounts, or both.
- Decide whether you need white-labelled reports only, or a branded dashboard and domain.
- Check that every network your clients use is listed, including Pinterest and Google Business Profile.
- Run one client’s real month through the trial before moving the rest.
