Seats, analytics and API access

Advance has unlimited team members. Adding the strategist who only reads reports does not move the bill by a dollar.
Analytics in the base price
Competitor benchmarking, best time to post and branded PDF exports on every paid plan, with nothing sold as a separate module.
An API you can actually reach

WHAT IT COSTS
What Sprout Social and RepeatPost cost at three team sizes
Sprout Social bills every seat, and Standard stops at five social profiles. A ten channel team of three therefore needs Professional at $299 a seat, which is $897 a month against $30.

Cheapest plan from each vendor that covers the stated channels and people, at list price, billed monthly, before tax. Approval workflows are not assumed in any row, so RepeatPost is quoted on Basic at $3 a channel a month. RepeatPost charges nothing per person, so team size never changes its price. Advance, which adds approvals, access levels and the activity log, costs $6 a channel a month. Vendor prices checked September 2026. Essentials and Standard include 5 social profiles, so anything past five channels moves Sprout Social to Professional. Premium Analytics and Listening are sold separately and are not included above.
PRICING COMPARISON

FEATURE COMPARISON
Where RepeatPost and Sprout Social actually differ
Sprout Social reports in more depth, through sentiment analysis and listening that RepeatPost does not offer. What it asks in return is a per seat price and a set of add ons, and that trade is the whole decision for most teams.
- Every seat is billed
Standard is $199 per seat per month. Three people reviewing the same calendar costs $597 a month before any add on is switched on.
- Listening and premium analytics cost extra
Social listening and Premium Analytics are sold separately from Standard upwards, so the headline seat price is rarely the final number.
- API access on the top tier
The Sprout API arrives on Advanced at $399 per seat per month, which puts programmatic access out of reach for most small teams.
- Five profiles until $299 a seat
Standard includes 5 social profiles. Unlimited profiles start on Professional, so a multi brand setup jumps a tier early.
- No seat charge at any size
Advance includes unlimited team members. Ten channels costs $60 a month for a solo founder and $60 a month for a team of twelve.
- Analytics in the base price
Cross channel dashboards, competitor benchmarking and best time to post are on every paid plan. Nothing here is sold as a module.
- AI priced in plain credits
A caption costs 1 credit, a standard image 8, and video generation starts from 20. Advance includes 200 a month and packs start at $5 for 100 that never expire.
- Three to fifty channels, one rate
Connect as many brands as the work needs. Channels are the only thing that changes the price, from 3 up to 50.
KEY FEATURES
RepeatPost and Sprout Social, capability by capability
Sprout Social is the deeper analytics platform and this table does not pretend otherwise. What it shows is which capabilities are included and which are sold as add ons or top tier upgrades.
REPORTING
What you give up, and what you do not
Sprout Social has the deeper reporting platform and this page will not pretend otherwise. Sentiment analysis, review management and keyword listening are stronger there. What RepeatPost covers is the reporting most teams actually present: engagement and reach by channel, follower growth, click through, top performing posts, competitor benchmarking and branded PDF exports on a schedule. All of it on Basic at $3 a channel a month.

AI you can budget for in advance
A caption costs 1 credit, a standard image 8, and video generation starts from 20. Advance includes 200 credits a month, packs start at $5 for 100, and purchased credits never expire because they are only spent once the monthly allowance runs out. Sprout Social gives each seat 100 Trellis credits a month, so AI capacity scales with headcount rather than with how much content you make.

“Honestly, the calendar is what sold me. I could see every channel in one view and spot the week we'd gone quiet. Before this I was juggling three spreadsheets and a Slack thread. Now I plan the month on a Monday morning and I'm done by half ten.”
Hannah Whitfield
Marketing Manager
United KingdomJun 14, 2026“We run social for eleven clients and keeping them separate used to be a genuine anxiety of mine. Workspaces fixed that. Each client sits in their own space, approvals route to the right person, and I've stopped worrying that someone's going to push a dental practice promo to a restaurant account at 6am.”
Marcus Reed
Agency Owner
United StatesJun 29, 2026“I batch a fortnight of content on a Sunday arvo and then I don't think about it again. Reckon it's saved me a solid day a week. Only gripe is the mobile app still feels a step behind the web version, so I do the actual planning on my laptop. Everything else is spot on.”
Chloe Baxter
Content Creator
AustraliaJul 11, 2026“I'm handling social for four small brands and writing captions was eating my whole morning. The AI drafts are actually quite usable now. I still rewrite maybe every third one to sound like the client, but starting from something beats staring at a blank box. The hashtag tool alone I'm using daily.”
Ananya Raghavan
Freelance Social Media Manager
IndiaJul 30, 2026“I sell fabrics and my customers find me on Instagram mostly. Posting used to be whenever I remembered, which was maybe twice a week. Now I sit down every Sunday evening, load up two weeks, and it goes out on its own. Sales have followed. I'd like to see WhatsApp added properly, that's my one ask.”
Chidinma Eze
Small Business Owner
NigeriaAug 18, 2026“Our team is five people and we were losing posts in Slack threads. Someone would approve something, someone else would tweak it, and nobody knew which version went live. The approval flow sorted that in a week. Fair play, it's the least glamorous feature on the site and it's the one I'd miss most.”
