Make the comparison count
Choose for the way
you actually work.
Both tools help you plan and publish. The useful differences are in your budget, your team, and the workflows you use every day.
01 / YOUR BUDGET
A lower solo starting price.
Metricool Starter can cover the two-brand example for $25/month, below SocialBlaze Essentials at ten channels. Its five-brand bundle may provide useful room to grow.
02 / YOUR WORKFLOW
Team access changes the plan.
Shared brand access, roles and approvals require Metricool Advanced. It includes unlimited team members and fifteen brands at its starting level, rather than charging for each seat.
03 / YOUR PEOPLE
Reporting has several layers.
Starter includes PDF and PowerPoint reports. Advanced adds custom templates and Looker Studio. Metricool Studio and expanded campaign analysis have their own limits and optional add-ons.
A brand bundle is different from a channel allowance.
What does your setup cost?
Compare two brands with five network accounts each. First price one operator, then a team that needs shared access and approvals. Both examples use monthly billing.

USD before tax, reviewed September 17, 2026. SocialBlaze Essentials with ten channels is $30/month; Team is $60/month with 20 members. Metricool Starter is $25/month for up to five brands or $45 for ten. Advanced starts at $67/month for fifteen brands with unlimited team members. A brand accepts one profile per social network or ad platform. The examples use two brands, so Metricool includes unused brand capacity. Annual starting prices are $20/month billed $240 yearly for Starter and $53/month billed $636 yearly for Advanced. Optional advanced analytics add-ons start at $12/month on Starter and $36 on Advanced; they are not included in these examples.

SocialBlaze may fit you best if…
You want channel-based capacity, content reuse, RSS automation and Team collaboration with 20 included members, including publishing to Mastodon and Tumblr.
Metricool may fit you best if…
You want competitor analysis, ad and website data alongside social metrics, or need Looker Studio, API access and unlimited collaborators on Advanced.
Your channels matter
Check your network mix.
Both list these publishing destinations. Metricool also connects additional data sources; an analytics connection is not the same as a publishing destination.
FacebookInstagramLinkedInPinterestTikTokYouTubeThreadsBluesky
SocialBlaze also lists Mastodon and Tumblr
Metricool’s current network directory does not list these destinations. LinkedIn requires a paid Metricool plan.
Metricool also supports Google Business Profile
Its wider measurement tools include Twitch, website/blog tracking and advertising data. Those should be evaluated as analytics capabilities, not counted as extra social publishing channels.
A few useful answers
Before you make your move.
Is Metricool cheaper than SocialBlaze?
For the solo two-brand example, yes: Starter is $25/month compared with SocialBlaze Essentials at ten channels for $30. For team access and approvals, Metricool Advanced starts at $67/month versus SocialBlaze Team at ten channels for $60. The included capacities differ.
What counts as a brand in Metricool?
A brand represents a business or client and accepts one profile per social network or ad platform. Ten social accounts do not automatically mean ten brands. The comparison uses two brands, each with Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and TikTok.
Does Metricool charge per teammate?
Its current Advanced plan lists unlimited team members. Starter does not include team sharing. The change in cost is a plan upgrade, not a per-seat charge.
Is Metricool publishing really unlimited?
Paid plans advertise unlimited publishing subject to fair use. The policy sets a base threshold of 600 posts per brand per month. Above that, a manual review can pause posting; compliant use may receive a higher custom threshold.
Are all Metricool analytics features included in Advanced?
No. Advanced includes custom report templates and Looker Studio, but expanded Metricool Studio, campaign dashboards and Advanced Analytics have separate allowances or an optional add-on. Its name should not be confused with the Advanced subscription tier.
Does Metricool support Mastodon and Tumblr?
Neither appears in the current Metricool network directory reviewed for this comparison. SocialBlaze lists both. Check publishing, inbox and analytics support separately for every network you need.
