Start your 7-day free trialRough figures, not quotes. They're the same rough figures as on our home page, which assume about 10 posts a month, scaled to the posts you pick.
Hiring someone: their hours are the same 10–15 hours per 10 posts as doing it yourself, at the pay you set. Your time managing them is taken as the 2–4 hours per 10 posts of working with a freelancer. Payroll costs, tools and time spent hiring and training aren't counted.
Schedult: the plan that covers your posts (Standard 10, Plus 15, Premium 30; in between, the next plan up), plus about 15 minutes of your time.

When hiring someone makes more sense
- You need someone on site for photos, video, events or replying to customers as it happens.
- Social media is a big enough part of your business to fill a role on its own.
- You want someone who also helps with other marketing or work around the business.
When Schedult makes more sense
- You need regular posts, not a new role to hire for and manage.
- You want a fixed monthly price without employment commitments.
- You want your month ready ahead of time, so posts don't depend on who's in that week.
