How matching works

A shortlist built from your constraints.

The finder filters first, then ranks the compatible plans. It does not replace your requirements with a generic score.

  1. 01

    Choose platforms

    Start with every network you need to publish to.

  2. 02

    Add your setup

    Set profile count, team workflow, and monthly budget.

  3. 03

    Compare compatible plans

    See the lowest-priced listed plans that fit those constraints.

Popular comparisons

Start with a head-to-head.

Compare platform support, team limits, publishing workflow, and price.

Browse by need

Start with the constraint that matters.

Platform support, deployment, workflow, and account limits usually narrow the field faster than a generic ranking.

Methodology and sources

Price estimates use your setup.

We find the lowest-priced listed plan that supports your profile count, team size, and required features. When a provider does not publish enough detail, we say so.

Rankings stay independent. Affiliate links and sponsorships never change match scores or editorial conclusions. Research is refreshed on a rolling basis, and every tool profile shows its latest check date.
