Marketing calendar with social scheduling

## Why teams choose Sked over CoSchedule

- Visual approval board

## Where CoSchedule genuinely wins
- A forever-free Marketing Calendar plan is available, including drag and drop scheduling, best time social publishing, and an AI assistant
- Combines social publishing with broader content and project planning on one calendar, including Kanban and table views, marketing campaigns, and custom project types
- Ships a large library of marketer-tested AI prompt templates (1600+ on paid plans) plus AI social, campaign, and project assistants
- Agency plans offer unlimited client calendars, white label features, and social approvals for managing each client separately

## Choose Sked if
- Social publishing and approvals are your main job, not a broad marketing calendar.
- You want Instagram-first depth and a visual approval board.
- You want real social analytics rather than calendar-centric reporting.

## Choose CoSchedule if
- You need one editorial calendar spanning blog, email and campaigns as well as social.
- Marketing-calendar breadth matters more to you than social depth.

CoSchedule starts at $19/mo. Sked's pricing is per plan (not per seat).

CoSchedule tiers:

- Agency Calendar: $59/mo

## Switching from CoSchedule
Typical migration time: Switching from CoSchedule usually takes under a day..

- Export your content from CoSchedule — Pull your planned posts, captions and media out of CoSchedule so nothing in your queue is lost in the move.
- Bring it into Sked — Upload your media and posts into Sked, bulk schedule from a CSV, and rebuild your content queue in the planner.
- Reconnect your social accounts — Authorize your Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest and other profiles directly in Sked so publishing picks up where you left off.
- Rebuild approvals and your calendar — Rebuild your posting schedule and set up approvals on Sked's visual Kanban board so clients and teammates can sign off in one place.
