lower operating cost in the Native scenario
Monthly labor = total weekly hours × 52 ÷ 12 × loaded hourly cost. Monthly operating cost = labor + software + outside support. Paid media is then added as a separate line. Annual values are monthly values × 12.
This is an editable planning estimate, not a quote, ROI forecast or guaranteed saving. It does not value content quality, revenue, opportunity cost, taxes, exchange rates or migration work.
A useful social media cost estimate includes planning, writing, design, approval, scheduling, community work and reporting, plus software and outside support. Paid media should stay separate because ad spend buys distribution rather than operating the content workflow.
The presets use the confirmed monthly USD prices. Pro is $79 for one brand and 50 high-quality posts. Max is $249 for three brands, 50 × 3 high-quality posts and an AI allowance 5× Pro. Agency is $499 for 10 workspaces, 10 brands, 50 × 10 high-quality posts and the Pro AI allowance in every workspace. Extra brands are $39 each per month on Pro and Max. Extra client workspaces are $69 each per month on Agency. Enterprise, for global groups that run marketing centrally across many locations, is quoted by sales; choose Custom and enter the quoted amount. Meta Ads Autopilot is included; media spend is separate.
