Zoho Social review

Zoho Social ranks seventh as a well-priced option for small businesses, especially those already on Zoho. Each plan is built around brands, and one brand can hold up to 14 channels: X, Instagram, a Facebook Page, a LinkedIn page and profile, Google Business Profile, YouTube, Pinterest, TikTok, Mastodon, Threads, Bluesky, Snapchat and Arattai. Standard, aimed at solopreneurs, includes multi-channel publishing, a publishing calendar, a link shortener, summary reports, an image editor and 40 AI credits. Professional adds repeat posting, bulk scheduling and livestream notifications, and lets you buy up to 5 extra brands. Premium adds SmartQ, an inbox, content approvals and post export, and agency plans add a client portal. After the 15-day trial, accounts move to a forever free plan with limited features. Our USD price check is pending because the plan prices did not appear in the page text we could fetch from our location, so confirm the cost on Zoho's page before you buy.
