Social Magnum vs Publer: Flat Price or Per Account (2026)
Publer meters accounts and team members; Social Magnum is flat. The crossover lands at five accounts, and this page does the arithmetic both ways with every number read from both pricing pages the same day.
Social Magnum and Publer price the same job on opposite models: one flat plan with everything in it, against a meter that runs per account and per team member. That makes this the rare comparison with a clean numeric answer — count your accounts and your people, and one of the two is arithmetically cheaper. The rest of the page is that arithmetic, plus what each price actually includes.

Where Publer wins
- Tiny rosters. One to four accounts, working solo, is Publer’s home turf — $5 a month covers one account, and no flat plan beats that.
- The network list. X, LinkedIn, Google Business, Telegram, even WordPress — five destinations Social Magnum does not publish to. If one of them is non-negotiable, this page is already decided.
- Power-scheduler extras. Recurring posts, auto-share and auto-delete, watermarking, spintax recycling, eternal post history, a browser extension and Canva built in — a deep bag of scheduling tricks.
- A more usable free plan for three accounts. Three accounts to our two, if the 10-posts-per-account ceiling and 24-hour history fit your volume.
Where Social Magnum wins
- Five accounts and up. The flat $24 undercuts Publer’s Professional from five accounts and its Business tier from three — and the gap widens with every account after.
- People are included. 2 seats at $24, 6 at $59, 10 at $119. On Publer every additional member is a line on the invoice.
- The base plan carries the whole kit. AI, analytics, approvals, inbox with auto-replies — no second tier to unlock, no meter on the AI.
- Agent-native. Claude, ChatGPT or Codex connects over MCP with OAuth under approval gates; Publer’s API is conventional REST on its Business tier.
