Where Metricool is better

  • It has a free plan: 1 brand and 20 posts a month. ōrbita only has a trial of 14 days.
  • It connects 11 networks, including X, Threads, Pinterest, Twitch and Bluesky. ōrbita publishes to 6.
  • Its inbox gathers comments and private messages. ōrbita's does not include private messages.
  • It analyzes competitors, from the Free plan. ōrbita does not.
  • It keeps the metrics history from Starter. In ōrbita the history is in Star; Satellite shows 30 days.

Where ōrbita is better

  • The AI knows each company: ōrbita fills in its memory by reading its website (communication plan, tone, catalog, frequently asked questions, dates and reviews) and your team edits it. Metricool has no company memory: its AI uses style instructions per brand.
  • It works on its own: every month it proposes 8 posts per company from that memory, without anyone asking, with the why and the copy for each network (Star plan). Metricool's AI answers when you ask it for something.
  • It writes each company's communication plan and shares it with the client through a link, with no account needed (Star plan). Metricool does not write the plan and only shares the calendar.
  • On any plan, Satellite included, you connect your own AI (Claude, ChatGPT or another compatible one) to your companies over MCP; with Star, ōrbita also fills in each company's memory (strategy, catalog, questions, social proof and dates) and your AI works on top of it. Metricool also has an MCP connector, but without a company memory behind it.
  • Your agent manages saved replies over MCP, with the same permissions as you: it reads them, uses them, creates them, edits them, deletes them and comments on them. Metricool's MCP connector does not reach the inbox or the saved replies.

Choose Metricool if

  • You want to start with a free plan.
  • You post on X, Threads, Pinterest, Twitch or Bluesky.
  • You reply to private messages from the same tool.
  • You need to analyze your competitors.

Choose ōrbita if

  • What costs you is deciding what to post each month for each client, not scheduling it (Star plan).
  • You want the AI, ōrbita's or your own over MCP, to work with what it already knows about each company and not from scratch on every request.
  • You want each company's communication plan written, with a link for the client (Star plan).
  • You run an agency and want the knowledge of each client not to depend on who handles them: it stays in your agency's account and whoever steps in picks up with the same memory.

Pricing and billing model

Metricool charges by brand tiers (up to 5, 10, 15, 25 or 50), so you pay for the tier even if you manage fewer brands; in ōrbita the price is per company and you only pay for the ones you manage.

Metricool

  • By brand tiers: Starter up to 5 or 10 brands; Advanced up to 15, 25 or 50; Custom, made to measure.
  • Starter: 20 EUR a month, or 16 EUR a month billed annually, up to 5 brands.
  • Team, clients, roles and approvals from Advanced: 54 EUR a month, or 43 EUR a month billed annually, up to 15 brands.
  • Free plan: 1 brand, 20 posts a month and 30 days of history.

ōrbita

  • Per company you manage: each company has its own plan, with all its networks, no commitment.
  • Satellite: €4 a month per company, or €3.33 a month billed annually, taxes not included.
  • Star: €15 a month per company, or €12.50 a month billed annually, taxes not included.
  • Galaxy: coming soon.
  • No free plan; a trial of 14 days with no card. Taxes not included.

What ōrbita does not do today

  • It does not create images or video: it writes the texts, the scripts and the prompts for your favorite image generator, and you can bring in your own material from Canva and Google Drive
  • It does not publish to X, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky or LinkedIn company pages
  • It has no inbox for private messages (it does have one for comments, mentions and reviews), no social listening and no competitor analysis
  • It has no PDF reports and no white label
  • It has no public API (it does have an MCP connector so your own agent can work with your companies)
  • It does not yet have one shared database that feeds several locations at once: each company runs on its own data
