Stronger publishing, comparable price.
Metricool is the best analytics-per-dollar option in the category: 5 brands for €16/mo, deep competitor benchmarking, ad-campaign management. FoPost matches the scheduling and pricing, then wins on platforms (30 vs 11), developer access (MIT SDK, MCP server on every plan, REST API at $24/mo all in), and per-platform AI rewriting.

5 reasons creators are switching from Metricool
More platforms
Metricool publishes to 11 (IG, FB, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, Twitch, Threads, Bluesky, X, LinkedIn, Google Business). FoPost adds Mastodon, DEV.to, Hashnode, Discord, Telegram, Slack, Reddit, Medium, WordPress, plus the long tail.
API without the tier jump
Metricool's REST API is locked to the Advanced tier (€43/mo+). FoPost opens the same REST API at $24/mo all in, and the MCP server for Claude and Cursor is on every plan.
Open-source SDK
PHP SDK is MIT-licensed on Packagist. TypeScript SDK free on npm. Metricool has none.
Per-platform AI rewriting
Metricool's AI assistant works the same on every network. FoPost rewrites per platform with your Brand Voice, so the LinkedIn version reads like LinkedIn.
Signed webhooks
Subscribe to publish, fail, account-disconnect events. Metricool has no webhook system.

We're transparent about the trade-offs
No tool is best at everything. Here is what Metricool does well, so you can decide for yourself.
Best analytics-per-dollar
Manage 5 brands for €16/mo with deep cross-platform analytics, scheduling, and reporting included. Genuinely unbeatable for freelancers running multiple clients on a budget.
Deeper competitor benchmarking
Metricool has been at this longer and goes further on historical depth. FoPost tracks competitor accounts side by side with your own too, so compare the two on how much history you actually need.
Ad campaign management
Manage paid campaigns alongside organic from one dashboard. Useful if you run both at the same time.
White-label reports
Branded analytics PDFs and dashboards for agency client work. FoPost does not ship this.
