# A Sprout Social alternative for publishing

> For people who mostly publish, without a price for every seat.

## Is PostMesh a good Sprout Social alternative?

PostMesh is a lower-cost Sprout Social alternative for people who mainly publish. Creator is $29 a month for 10 accounts. Sprout's Essentials and Standard plans connect 5 profiles, so 10 accounts means Professional, at $399 per seat a month billed monthly or $299 billed annually. Sprout does much more around the post, with an inbox, listening, approvals and CRM integrations, so teams that need those should stay with it.

## What it costs each month

| Accounts | PostMesh | Sprout Social |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 5 accounts | $29/mo (Creator) | $99/mo per seat (Essentials, billed monthly) |
| 10 accounts | $29/mo (Creator) | $399/mo per seat (Professional, billed monthly) |
| 50 accounts | $49/mo (Growth) | $399/mo per seat (Professional, billed monthly) |
| Unlimited accounts | $99/mo (Pro) | $399/mo per seat (Professional, billed monthly) |

Monthly billing for both. Yearly, PostMesh is $22, $37 and $75 a month, and Sprout is $79 (Essentials), $199 (Standard) and $299 (Professional) per seat a month. Sprout's prices are per seat, so each extra person adds the same again. Prices in USD before tax.
