Ocoya vs Zoho Social

The cheapest serious option, sold one brand at a time.

8 rows to Ocoya2 about even

4 to Zoho Social

Zoho Social is the value play and it is a genuinely serious product: fourteen channel types, a free plan, an MCP server with 31 tools at mcp.zoho.com, and deep hooks into Zoho CRM and Desk if you already live there. Two things shape the price. Everything is sold per brand — one brand per plan, more as add-ons — and the entry plans include a single team member, with the inbox and approval workflows arriving only on Premium. Ocoya is one flat plan with the seats, the inbox, approvals, AI images and video and the Design Studio included. If you are inside the Zoho suite or watching every euro, Zoho Social is hard to argue with. If you need the content produced, we are the better tool.
