Quetzal
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.
SocialPilot
Pick SocialPilot if you have the production capacity and need low-cost, reliable distribution across many client accounts, from $30 a month per subscription (Essentials).
What Quetzal costs
Quetzal starts at $90 a month per brand, or $69 a month billed yearly (Starter). Unlimited posts on every plan. Plans differ in connected accounts and AI credits a month, which pay for designed images and AI reels on every plan (1 credit = 1 image or 1 second of AI video). SocialPilot's entry plan costs less, because you pay it to schedule and manage. With Quetzal you pay for each client's posts to be made.

What Quetzal does that SocialPilot does not.
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.
Clients approve without an account
Each client gets a private link to approve posts or ask for a change, with no seat and no login. Review mode holds every post until someone says yes.
Priced per brand, with seats included
A plan covers one brand with its accounts and its team (3 people on Growth, more on larger plans). Agencies pay per client brand on one invoice, with a discount from the third client.
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.
Where SocialPilot is the better pick.
Stay with SocialPilot if you have the production capacity and need low-cost, reliable distribution across many client accounts.
Review management and local listings from the same company
Switching from SocialPilot.
Create a workspace per client, connect their accounts and paste their website. Quetzal drafts each client's first week from their brand.
Keep SocialPilot for the clients whose content you already produce by hand, and for reviews and listings if you use them. Move the others to Quetzal one at a time.
Questions people ask.
Is Quetzal better than SocialPilot?
For production, yes. SocialPilot distributes content your team has already made, with client approvals, bulk scheduling and white-label reports, and it does that well. Quetzal makes that content, per client brand.
What is the main difference between Quetzal and SocialPilot?
SocialPilot schedules what your team makes, with an AI writer that helps when asked. Quetzal plans and makes each client's posts from their brand and publishes them after approval.
Which is cheaper for one brand with three accounts?
Billed monthly, one brand with three accounts costs $90 (Starter) on Quetzal and $30 (Essentials) on SocialPilot. SocialPilot's entry plan costs less, because you pay it to schedule and manage. With Quetzal you pay for each client's posts to be made.
Does SocialPilot create posts, images or video for you?
According to SocialPilot's own pages, checked on 30 September 2026: its AI helps you write when you ask. Quetzal plans, writes and designs your posts and makes AI reels on every plan.
Can I use Quetzal and SocialPilot together?
Yes, client by client: keep SocialPilot for the clients you produce by hand and move the others to Quetzal. Both publish through the networks' official connections.
How do I move from SocialPilot to Quetzal?
Create a workspace per client, connect their accounts and paste their website. Quetzal drafts each first week for approval, and clients can approve through a private link.
