Schedulin vs HeyOrca

Per-calendar pricing tells you exactly who HeyOrca is for. Each brand or client gets its own calendar at $59/mo (Basic) or $149/mo (Pro, which adds reporting, inbox, and listening), with unlimited users on every calendar — a structure that makes sense for agencies, where the bottleneck is client sign-off rather than seat counts. The client-facing approval portal lets external clients review and approve posts without a paid seat, and the Google-Docs-style commenting keeps feedback attached to the work. There's even a free plan: one user, two accounts, fifteen posts a month. If your clients approve every post before it goes live, this is purpose-built tooling and the per-calendar cost is the price of that specialization.

Flat tiers are the shape of Schedulin's pricing instead — $5/mo for three accounts up to $20/mo Pro with unlimited accounts and ten seats, which is less than a single HeyOrca calendar. Approvals exist as drafts and team approval rather than a client-facing portal, so the workflow is simpler but included. Schedulin also covers platforms HeyOrca doesn't — Bluesky and Reddit — and ships tools HeyOrca has no equivalent for: an AI faceless short-form video generator, long-form to Shorts clipping, a Chrome extension, and a hosted MCP server plus REST API so AI agents can draft and schedule posts. For a single brand the cost difference is dramatic; across several brands it multiplies with every calendar.

An agency whose clients genuinely review and sign off on every post should stay with HeyOrca — that external approval loop is its reason for existing, and Schedulin's team approval is not a client portal. Everyone else should do the math: paying $59 per calendar for workflows you won't use adds up fast, and an in-house team or creator gets scheduling, fifteen platforms, and AI video from Schedulin for $5/mo flat. The dividing question is simple: does someone outside your company approve your posts before they publish? If yes, HeyOrca. If approvals happen inside your own team, you're HeyOrca's edge case and Schedulin's center.
