Quetzal vs SocialGest: the SocialGest alternative that makes the posts

SocialGest gives a marketing team an AI assistant, a calendar and approvals to produce its own posts. Quetzal produces the week from your brand and publishes it once you approve.

Quick answer

Pick Quetzal if you want your social media done for you: posts planned from your brand, written in your voice and published to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, X and YouTube. Pick SocialGest if you lead a larger marketing team, want a guided setup and value listening and messaging tools from the same vendor.

Quetzal starts at $116 a month per brand, or $89 a month billed yearly (Starter). Unlimited posts on every plan. Plans differ in connected accounts, designed images a month and AI reels, which start on Pro.

SocialGest does not print its prices; it quotes them after a demo. Quetzal's price per brand is on this page.

Where Quetzal is different

The week arrives planned and written

Quetzal reads your website and brand kit, plans the week and writes every post in your voice. You open a finished week instead of an empty calendar.

Designed posts and carousels in your brand

Quetzal designs posts, carousels and stories in your colours and type, so every account looks like one brand. Designed images come on every plan, and posts from your own photos are unlimited.

Finished reels, ready to publish

From Pro, Quetzal makes AI reels for you: a presenter says a script written from your brand, with captions timed to each word. Each reel publishes like any other post.

Start on your own, without waiting for a demo

Quetzal's plans and prices are public, and you can start a 14-day trial yourself: connect your accounts, paste your website and the first week is drafted for your review.

Switching from SocialGest

Quetzal does not need an onboarding project. Connect your Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, X and YouTube accounts, paste your website, and Quetzal builds your brand kit from it.

If your team relies on SocialGest's approval flows or on Magnetic's listening and messaging tools, keep them while you try Quetzal on one brand. Quetzal's review mode holds every post until someone approves it.

Which one to choose

Choose Quetzal if you are a small business or an agency without a content team, and you want the posts made without going through a sales process first.

What is the main difference between Quetzal and SocialGest?
