Free Agorapulse Alternative: One Social Inbox With No Per-User Price
Agorapulse costs $79 to $199 per user a month. Its plans as of November 2026, what you lose by leaving, and a free alternative with one inbox for comments, reviews and DMs and no charge for team seats.
Hermoso is a free Agorapulse alternative if what you need is one inbox and a scheduler. It pulls comments, mentions, reviews and DMs from your channels into one list that your AI assistant can read and answer, and it doesn't charge for team seats. Agorapulse is a stronger tool for a support team: it has assignment, team reports and a deeper review workflow. It also starts at $79 per user per month.
We make Hermoso, so read this with that in mind. Every competitor number below comes from that company's own page, read on November 1, 2026, and prices change, so check the page before you buy.

What's in Hermoso's inbox
- Comments and replies: Facebook, Instagram, Threads, YouTube, Reddit and Bluesky.
- Mentions: Threads, Bluesky and X.
- Reviews: Google Business Profile.
- DMs: Messenger, Instagram, Bluesky, X and Telegram.
- Support tickets: your Intercom inbox, if you connect it.
Reading and answering cost no credits, with one exception: X bills per call, because X charges per request. A channel that fails to read gets named in the list, so a short list doesn't get mistaken for a quiet week. You work it from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, or from the Hermoso Studio chat, where each chat reply uses credits because it runs an AI model.
Keyword rules run on top of it. Comment-to-DM on Instagram and Facebook is free too.
What you give up by leaving
- An inbox screen. Hermoso's inbox is something you ask your AI assistant about, not a queue you click through. If you want a screen, Agorapulse has one.
- Assignment and team routing. Agorapulse is built for several people working one queue. Hermoso has no way to assign a message to a teammate.
- Team performance and response-time reports. Not in Hermoso.
- Sentiment analysis on Agorapulse's Custom plan.
- Competitor benchmarking charts on Advanced.
- Post approvals. Hermoso has no approval step for posts your team writes.
What you gain
- No charge for seats. Add the whole team, and every client as its own brand.
- Scheduling to fifteen channels, up to 10 posts a month on Free and without limit from $9.99 a month.
- An AI agent that makes the images and video ads as well. That part uses credits, because it runs AI models.
- Paid campaign management on twelve ad platforms, also free.
Stay on Agorapulse if
- Several people answer the same queue and you need to know who has what.
- You report on response times to a client or a manager.
- You need benchmark charts against competitors over time.
