Where Each Tool Wins

Loomly Wins: Approval Workflows

Loomly was built for team collaboration:

  • Multi-level approvals (draft → review → client → publish)
  • Version history on every post
  • Comment threads with @mentions
  • Custom roles (Advanced plan)

SocialPilot has approvals, but they're basic. Single-level only.


SocialPilot Wins: Bulk Scheduling

SocialPilot handles high-volume posting better:

  • Bulk upload up to 500 posts via CSV
  • Content curation from RSS feeds
  • Queue recycling for evergreen content
  • Faster scheduling interface

Loomly caps bulk uploads and focuses on individual post quality.
