A single login, or a team on Growth

Metricool’s Free and Starter plans include a single login with no way to add people, so any team needs Advanced. Posty’s Growth plan includes up to 10 people per workspace, each with a role that sets what they can see and do, and Accelerate removes the limit.

How each one handles approval

Metricool’s approvals are on Advanced and Custom. You send a post for review and choose whether one approval, every approval or no rejection is enough; a rejection always stops it, and reviewers without an account decide from an emailed link. Posty sets the approval rule once per workspace from Growth, and Accelerate asks your team first and the client second.

Only your team can see it.

One account per network, or several

Each Metricool brand holds one account per network, so a client with two Instagram accounts, or several Google Business Profile locations, takes several brands from the bracket. A Posty workspace can hold several accounts on the same network, with no account limit on Growth.

Analytics history and networks

Metricool keeps unlimited analytics history on paid plans (30 days for X), with PDF and PPT reports from Starter. Posty keeps 30-day of analytics on Starter, 90-day on Growth and 1-year on Accelerate. Metricool publishes to X, as a $10 add-on per account, and to Google Business Profile; Posty publishes to Discord and WordPress.

Moving from Metricool to Posty

Posty does not import from Metricool, so the move is done by hand. Each Metricool brand becomes a Posty workspace.

1
Create a workspace for each brand
Create a workspace for each brand and set its timezone. Brands you split in Metricool only for a second account on the same network can share one workspace.
2
Connect the social accounts
Sign in to each network through its own consent screen. Nobody shares a password, and each account belongs to one workspace.
3
Invite the team and set the approval rule
Invite your team with the roles they need, choose the approval rule for each workspace, and invite clients with client visibility.
4
Move the planned posts across
Recreate the posts still in Metricool’s planner, then remove them there so nothing publishes twice.
