Stay with Metricool if your team already produces all the content and you mainly need reporting across many brands.
Metricool measures and schedules what your team produces; its AI credits cover a handful of captions per brand. Quetzal is the production layer: it makes the content for each client brand and publishes it, with a per-client approval link and a portfolio discount from the third client. Many agencies run both, Metricool for reporting and Quetzal for production.
Growth, the plan most businesses choose, is $229 a month on annual billing and publishes one AI-generated post per platform every day plus stories. Your own photos and past creations post without limit.
Yes. Each client is a workspace with its own brand, approval queue and connected accounts, billed on one agency subscription with a roster discount from the third client.
Every post is measured at 1, 6, 24 and 72 hours and the results feed the next week's plan. It is not a replacement for a full reporting suite.
