PostNext.io vs Loomly at a glance

Loomly built its product around the content calendar — unlimited calendars, post inspiration via an Ideas board, and brand management features (custom subdomain, favicon, logo) on the Beyond tier. Pricing has a notable gap: Starter is $49/mo annual ($65/mo monthly) for 12 social accounts and 3 users; Beyond is $249/mo annual ($332/mo monthly) for 60 accounts and unlimited users. There's no middle tier, so teams between 3 and unlimited users pay either too little or too much. PostNext.io Premium is €11/mo (15 channels, 1 user) and Teams is €4/user/mo (5-user min) — different shape, different ladder.

Where Loomly wins

• Unlimited calendars on every tier. If you manage multiple distinct content streams (campaigns, brands, franchises) and want them in separate calendars, Loomly does this and PostNext doesn't (you'd run multiple PostNext workspaces).
• Post Ideas board. A built-in feed of post inspiration tied to events, holidays, and trends. Useful for teams running out of ideas. No PostNext equivalent.
• Custom branding on Beyond. Branded subdomain (yourcompany.loomly.com), custom favicon, custom logo. Useful for agencies presenting the tool to clients.
• Social listening monitors included. 1 keyword on Starter, 4 on Beyond. PostNext doesn't have listening.
• Reply with AI. AI-generated draft replies for comments and DMs. Not in PostNext.
• 3 users at entry. Starter includes 3 user seats. PostNext Premium is 1.

Where PostNext.io wins

• ~4× cheaper at entry. €11/mo vs $49/mo (annual) or $65/mo (monthly). The price gap is meaningful for solo creators and small teams.
• A real free plan. Loomly is trial-only; PostNext's free tier handles 1,000 posts/mo.
• AI image generation. Loomly's AI is more text-focused; PostNext generates post images on Premium and above.
• AI WordPress blog generator. Useful for WordPress-driven content engines. No Loomly equivalent.
• Per-user team pricing. €4/user/mo on Teams (5-user min) is dramatically cheaper than Loomly Beyond ($249/mo for unlimited users) for teams under ~12 users.
• 3 channels more at the entry tier. 15 vs 12 — small but real if you're at the boundary.

Pick Loomly if…

• You manage multiple distinct calendars (separate brands, campaigns, franchises) and want them organized separately.
• The Post Ideas board solves a real "what should we post" problem for your team.
• Brand-customizing the tool (subdomain, favicon, logo) matters when presenting to clients.
• Social listening on a few keywords is useful for your strategy.

Pick PostNext.io if…

• You don't need multiple calendars — one workspace is enough.
• You want lower entry pricing for a publishing-first workflow.
• You want a free plan to test before paying.
• You want AI image generation and WordPress blog drafts inside the scheduling tool.
• You're a small team (under ~12 users) where per-user pricing on Teams beats Loomly's flat Beyond fee.

FAQ

Does PostNext.io have multiple calendars like Loomly?

Not within a single workspace. If you need separate calendars for distinct brands or campaigns, Loomly is structurally better. The PostNext workaround would be running multiple PostNext accounts, which gets expensive quickly.

Why is Loomly's price gap between tiers so wide?

Loomly has only two real paid tiers (Starter $49/mo, Beyond $249/mo) plus Enterprise. Teams between 3 and "many" users either over-pay on Starter (capped at 3 users) or jump to Beyond. PostNext's Teams tier (€4/user/mo, 5-user min) fills that middle band.

Does Loomly's "Reply with AI" replace a unified inbox?

It's a single feature inside the publishing tool, not a full unified inbox. For deep inbox engagement, dedicated tools (Agorapulse, NapoleonCat, Hootsuite) are stronger. Loomly's Reply with AI is helpful for quick AI-drafted responses but not a full inbox replacement.
