The same team outcomes, sized for growing brands.

Sprout Social is a serious enterprise suite, priced like one. Sked gives growing teams the core of what a Sprout deploy delivers — at a price growing brands can actually run on.

Three shifts that matter

The gap where growing teams live.

  • Predictable per-plan pricing

    Flat-rate per plan. Add paid seats at $15/mo only when you grow past Accelerate's 6 users.

  • Approvals on every plan

    Configurable per brand or client. No upsell gate on basic workflow.

  • Listening that's included

    Track up to 20 competitors on Accelerate. Brand mentions and hashtags included — no premium invoice.

You don't need enterprise to get professional.

Agencies and growing in-house teams get the same publishing rigour, approval flows and reporting depth — with 24/7 human support on every paid plan. SOC 2 Type 2 certified.

Common questions

Questions about switching from Sprout Social.

  • How much do teams save switching from Sprout to Sked?

    A 3-user Sprout Standard deploy runs about $597/mo. Sked Grow is $149/mo with the same 3 users — and listening, approvals and AI are included, not premium add-ons. That's roughly $5,400 per year in annual subscription savings before add-on costs.

  • Does Sked have the same listening capability as Sprout?

    Accelerate includes tracking for up to 20 competitors plus brand mention and hashtag monitoring. No separate premium listening tier.

  • Is Sked enterprise-ready?

    SOC 2 Type 2 certified. SAML SSO, role-based permissions, SCIM user provisioning and audit logs on Custom plans. Dedicated customer success on Accelerate and above.

  • Who handles the Sprout-to-Sked migration?

    Our onboarding team. You export your scheduled queue and any saved replies; we import them into Sked. A typical switch lands in under two weeks.
