Loomly
Calendar-first social schedulinschedulingcalendarapprovalsg built around structured approval chains
A calendar-first social scheduler built around post ideas, brand guidelines, and multi-step approval chains, aimed at marketing teams that need structured sign-off before anything goes live.
What it does
Post-idea prompts plus a formal sign-off workflow
Loomly centers on a visual content calendar with built-in "post ideas" prompts (trending topics, RSS feeds, hashtag and holiday suggestions), advanced analytics, and a structured approval workflow that routes drafts through reviewers before scheduling. It publishes to the major social networks and supports custom roles, branded guidelines, and a hashtag manager on higher tiers.
It's commonly used by in-house marketing teams and agencies that need a formal review step between the person writing posts and the person who owns brand voice or legal sign-off, rather than a fast solo-scheduling tool.
The tradeoff is cost at scale: pricing jumps meaningfully between the Starter and Beyond tiers as account and user counts grow, and it doesn't include a permanent free plan the way some competitors do (it does offer a 50% lifetime discount for verified nonprofits).
