The short answer
If you mainly post to X, OpenTweet is the cheaper Agorapulse alternative: Pro is $19.99/mo flat with X included, while Agorapulse starts at $79 per user a month on annual billing and sells X publishing as a separate add-on.
Stay on Agorapulse if you run a team that needs a shared inbox, approvals, listening and reports across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and more. OpenTweet does none of that. It is built for publishing to X, Bluesky and LinkedIn from a calendar, an AI writer, feeds, or an AI agent that can schedule and publish on its own.
X is an add-on on Agorapulse, and its price is not published
The Agorapulse pricing page lists X Lite and X Plus under "Supercharge Your Social Media Strategy", both with a "Contact us" button. X still counts toward your 10 profiles. Ask for the add-on quote before you compare totals.Agorapulse pricing in 2026

Add-ons that affect X
| Add-on | What it covers | Price |
|---|---|---|
| X Lite | Schedule and publish posts on X, including threads | Contact us |
| X Plus | Publishing, comment and DM moderation, and X analytics | Contact us |
| Extra profile | Any network beyond the 10 included | $10/mo each |
The page does not label which figure is monthly and which is annual. The savings it shows (for example "Save $240/year" on Standard, which is $20 x 12) mean the lower figure is the annual rate.
Agorapulse vs OpenTweet: the monthly cost for X
Annual Agorapulse rates on Standard, before the X add-on, against OpenTweet's flat plans. Worked out from each tool's published prices.
| Team | Agorapulse | OpenTweet |
|---|---|---|
| 1 person, 1 X account | $79/mo + X add-on | $19.99 (Pro) |
| 1 person, 3 X accounts | $79/mo + X add-on | $29 (Advanced) |
| 3 people, 10 X accounts | $237/mo + X add-on | $49 (Agency) |
| 1 person, monthly billing | $99/mo + X add-on | $19.99 (Pro) |
This compares posting only. Agorapulse's price also buys an inbox, listening and reports across many networks, which OpenTweet does not have. If you use those every day, the comparison is not like for like.

How to move your X posting from Agorapulse
Decide what stays
If your team still needs the inbox and listening, keep Agorapulse for those and move only X publishing. You can drop the X add-on.
Connect your X accounts
Start the trial and connect each X account with a normal X login. Pro has 1 X account, Advanced 3, Agency 10. Bluesky and LinkedIn connect the same way.
Move your queue
Export what is scheduled, then import it as CSV. The importer reads date and time columns. Pause the Agorapulse queue first so nothing posts twice.
Connect your AI assistant
Add https://mcp.opentweet.io/mcp as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT and sign in. It can draft, schedule and publish, and you check the queue.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Agorapulse cost in 2026?
Per agorapulse.com/pricing on November 2, 2026: Standard $79 per user a month billed annually ($99 monthly), Professional $119 ($149 monthly), Advanced $149 ($199 monthly), and a Custom plan with tailored pricing. Each plan includes 10 social profiles, and extra profiles are $10 a month each.
Does Agorapulse charge extra for X (Twitter)?
Yes. The pricing page lists two X add-ons: X Lite ("Essentials for publishing on X", schedule and publish posts including threads) and X Plus (publishing, comment and DM moderation, and analytics). Both say "Contact us" with no published price, so you need a quote before you know what X costs on Agorapulse.
Can the Agorapulse MCP server publish posts?
Not today. Agorapulse launched its MCP server on October 29, 2026 for Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot Studio. It can read reports and the inbox and create drafts, but Agorapulse says it chose not to give AI assistants a "publish now" action. Scheduling, editing and deleting posts are promised "in the coming days". OpenTweet's hosted MCP server has 43 tools, including schedule and publish.
Is there a free Agorapulse plan or trial?
Agorapulse offers a 30-day trial with no card, and its FAQ says you can keep using a free plan afterwards. The free plan's limits are not listed on the pricing page. OpenTweet has no free plan: it is a 7-day trial with a card, charged on day 7 unless you cancel.
When is OpenTweet cheaper than Agorapulse?
Almost always for X-first posting. One Agorapulse user on Standard is $79 to $99 a month before the X add-on. OpenTweet Pro is $19.99 for 1 X account, Advanced $29 for 3, and Agency $49 for 10, with no per-user fee and no X add-on.
Does Agorapulse have an API?
The pricing page shows the open reports API ("integrate social data with your BI tools") only on the Custom plan. OpenTweet includes a REST API for posting on every plan, with an ot_ key and no X developer account.
What does OpenTweet not do that Agorapulse does?
OpenTweet has no social inbox, no comment moderation, no social listening, no ROI reports, no approval workflows for a team, and only 3 networks (X, Bluesky, LinkedIn). If your team lives in a shared inbox across Facebook and Instagram, Agorapulse is the better tool.
