Pick by the approval and the API, not the trial length
If the job is manager approval inside a small team, SocialPilot Standard is the plan to price. If clients must approve, price Premium, not Essentials. If a script must create posts, SocialPilot listed API access on Enterprise, so a lower tier is the wrong quote. PostTempo splits those jobs: Pro can create API drafts, and Agency or Scale records the approval. Later's Growth plan listed both internal and external approvals without listing a public API on the pricing page reviewed the same day.
