What changed
2025
Loomly repriced in 2025 and moved from four plans to two paid plans plus Enterprise. Base, which was $42 a month for 10 accounts and 2 users, gave way to Starter at $65 a month, or $49 billed yearly, for 12 accounts and 3 users. SocialPilot, a competing tool, works the Base to Starter change out at about 55%.
Common reasons to switch
- Starter is $65 a month, or $49 billed yearly, after the 2025 repricing, up from $42 for the old Base plan.
- Starter bundles 3 users, so a solo creator pays for seats they do not use.
- The guided workflow can feel slow for experienced creators who know what they want to post.
- There is no bulk scheduling option for high volume content.
