The Metricool alternative that creates content, not just reports
Metricool is a reference for analytics: thorough reports, solid scheduling. Sofia takes the other end of the problem: producing the week of posts itself — topics, writing, slots, publishing — then using the numbers to improve the next one.

Sofia tracks the essential metrics of your accounts and posts, and uses them to adjust the calendar. For very detailed agency reporting, Metricool remains deeper.
What is the fundamental difference between Sofia and Metricool?
Metricool starts from measurement: you create, it schedules and analyses. Sofia starts from creation: it decides what to post, writes, publishes, then measures to improve what comes next.
Can I use Sofia without writing anything myself?
Yes. Give it your website and a few photos: Sofia deduces your voice, proposes a calendar and drafts. You approve in one tap, or let automatic mode publish.
How much does Sofia cost?
7 days free, then a fixed price per business, with every supported network included, no per-channel cost and no feature tiers.
Which networks does Sofia publish to?
Instagram, Facebook, and X, each in the right format and at the planned time.
Do I stay in control of what gets published?
Yes. In approval mode, nothing goes out without your consent; in automatic mode, you stay in charge of the calendar and can remove a post until it has gone out.
