Pricing Compared
Starting price reflects the lowest paid tier, not the full cost for every team size or usage level.
Loomly
Base — $42/month Monthly (annual billing offers ~25% discount)
Standard — $80/month Monthly (annual billing offers ~25% discount)
Approval workflows are more robust than most competitors at similar price points
Published, transparent pricing tiers rather than sales-only enterprise quotes
Unlimited users included on every tier, which suits agencies and larger teams
AI-assisted ideation and brand guideline checks reduce manual content review
Backed by Bending Spoons, giving the product continued investment after acquisition
Cons
Pricing scales quickly with account count, making higher tiers expensive for large brands
No perpetual free plan, only a 7-day free trial
Some advanced analytics and integrations are reserved for higher tiers
Newer under Bending Spoons ownership, so long-term roadmap direction is still settling
Smaller ecosystem of native integrations compared with larger competitors like Hootsuite
Social Blade
Pros
Free tier gives useful basic statistics for any public account without signing up
Covers all major social and video platforms in a single tool
Long track record and large tracked-account database since 2008
Affordable entry-level paid tier at under 4 US dollars per month
Useful for both creators tracking their own growth and brands vetting influencers
Cons
Free tier is ad-supported and limited to short historical data windows
Earnings estimates are approximations, not verified creator income
Higher tiers (Gold, Platinum) can be expensive relative to feature gains
Data accuracy depends on public platform APIs, which can lag or change
Not a content scheduling or management tool, purely analytics and tracking
