TL;DR
Sticker prices hide per-channel fees and add-ons. Here is what the popular tools really cost.
Pricing pages are designed to look cheaper than reality. Here is the honest breakdown.
Watch for per-channel pricing Tools like Buffer charge per channel — ten accounts multiplies the cost quickly.
Watch for AI add-ons Several tools advertise a low base price, then charge extra for the AI writing you actually want.
Watch for annual-only framing A "$26/mo" plan billed annually is a $319 upfront charge. Fair, but know what you are signing up for.
The Postbeam approach Flat pricing, AI included, all platforms, and a genuine free tier so you can try before you pay. See the full breakdown on our pricing page and our versus pages for head-to-head numbers.
