AutoPos.io vs Sprout Social
Sprout Social is usually evaluated by teams that want analytics and engagement in one place. If that is the shortlist you are on, the structural difference to check is seat-based billing: Sprout prices per seat, so every additional team member repeats the monthly cost.

Common questions
- Do I need a credit card to try AutoPos.io?
- No. The free plan covers 2 social accounts, 10 posts a month and 1 auto-reply rule, and never expires. You only add payment details when you outgrow it.
- What does bring-your-own-key AI actually mean?
- You supply your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic Claude or Google Gemini, and pay that provider directly at their rates. We add no markup and never share your key — it is encrypted at rest.
- Can I move my scheduled posts across?
- Yes. Bulk CSV scheduling is built into every plan, so an export from your current tool can be imported in one go rather than rebuilt post by post.
- What does per-seat pricing mean for a small team?
- Sprout Social's Essentials plan is listed at $79 per seat per month billed annually, so a team of three is three times that. AutoPos.io includes team collaboration from $29 a month for the plan rather than per person. Check their current pricing page before comparing.
