Cheaper Than Predis: Why Teams Are Saving on AI Social Media in 2026

Predis.ai generates quality AI content. But credit-based pricing, auto-posting limits, and per-brand costs add up fast. Teams discover they're paying $40-212/month while still hitting limits. (See our full Predis review for details.)

Modern alternatives like SocialRails offer unlimited AI content, no posting caps, and better value at $29-49/month.

This guide shows exactly what Predis costs, where it falls short, and how switching saves money while upgrading capabilities.

Key Takeaways

Predis Cost Reality

1.

Credit Limits: Predis caps AI generation at 1,300-10,000 credits/month. Heavy users run out mid-month.

2.

Auto-Post Caps: Even Enterprise+ limits to 3 auto-posts/day. High-volume posters can't fully automate.

3.

Per-Brand Pricing: Core = 1 brand. Rise = 4 brands. Enterprise+ = Unlimited at $212/month.

4.

Savings: SocialRails at $29/month offers unlimited AI, no posting caps, and 350+ video templates.

Quick Decision Helper

Switch to SocialRails if you:

  • Hit credit limits before month end
  • Need more than 3 auto-posts daily
  • Want unlimited AI content generation
  • Prefer predictable flat-rate pricing
  • Manage multiple brands on a budget

Stay with Predis if you:

  • Need built-in competitor analysis (unique to Predis)
  • Post 1-3 times daily (within limits)
  • Manage only 1-4 brands
  • Happy with credit-based model
