Social Magnum vs Agorapulse: $24 Flat or $79 Per Seat (2026)
Agorapulse prices per user from $79 and keeps approvals and API on its Custom tier; Social Magnum is $24 flat with both included. Where each one wins, priced from both vendors' pages the same day.
Agorapulse and Social Magnum agree on one thing — social media management should happen around an inbox, not just a queue — and disagree on everything about how to charge for it. Agorapulse prices per user, per month, per tier; Social Magnum sells flat plans with the people included. Since both products bundle publishing, inbox and reporting, this comparison is mostly about which pricing shape fits your team, and where each product’s depth actually lies.

Where Agorapulse wins
- Inbox depth. Team assignments, labels, automated moderation, ad comment management — a decade of inbox-first engineering our lighter inbox does not match.
- Network breadth. Eleven networks including X, LinkedIn, Google Business and Reddit. If those carry your clients, this page is decided.
- The 30-day trial. The longest trial in this series, no card required — a genuinely fair way to test an expensive product.
Where Social Magnum wins
- The bill. $24 flat against $79 per user — and every added teammate widens the gap by another $79.
- Approvals and AI on every plan. Agorapulse lists multi-step approvals, AI replies and API access on its Custom tier; ours ship at $24.
- A free plan exists. 2 accounts and 15 posts a month, forever, after the trial question Agorapulse answers with “now pay”.
- Agent-native. Claude, ChatGPT or Codex connects over MCP with OAuth under approval gates — a surface Agorapulse’s pricing page does not offer at any tier.
