Social Champ

From $29/mo (6 profiles)

Mid-market scheduler with a free tier.

FoPost or Social Champ?

Pick Social Champ if you want mobile apps, WhatsApp Business or white-label client reports, and do not need the API. Pick FoPost if you need the API or listening without the $149 Agency tier, or publish to networks beyond the mainstream twelve.

Social Champ is a capable mid-market scheduler with a usable free tier, pay-per-profile flexibility and rare WhatsApp Business support. The developer story is the weak point: API access only on the $149/month Agency plan.

Why teams move from Social Champ

  • API without the Agency tier

    Social Champ gates REST API keys to Agency ($149/mo) and Enterprise. FoPost ships the REST API, MCP server and official SDKs with every account.

  • More platforms

    Social Champ covers 12 networks. FoPost ships 31, adding Lemmy, Nostr, Discord, Slack, Telegram, Reddit, DEV.to, Hashnode, Medium and WordPress.

  • Listening without the Agency tier

    Social Champ puts social listening on Agency or pay-per-profile Growth. Radar is available to every account.

  • An AI agent that plans campaigns

    Describe a campaign and the agent plans it, drafts the posts and generates images. Nothing publishes until you approve.

Where Social Champ wins

  • Free tier and pay-per-profile

    A free plan with 3 profiles, plus pay-per-profile plans from $5 a profile, which is unusually flexible.

  • WhatsApp Business

    Publishes to WhatsApp Business from Professional up, which few competitors support.

  • Mobile apps

    iOS and Android apps for scheduling on the go.

  • White-label reports

    Agency includes white-label reports for client work.

Why people look for a Social Champ alternative

  • API on Agency

    Programmatic access requires the $149/mo tier.

  • Twelve platforms

    No Discord, Slack, Reddit, DEV.to, Hashnode or WordPress.
