The Loomly alternative
The Loomly alternative
with approvals on every plan.
Loomly's entry plan is $49/month for 3 users — and every client reviewer eats one of those seats, so agencies jump to its $249 Beyond tier for unlimited users. Zilfu is one flat $19/month plan with unlimited team members, free reviewers, and approvals on every tier. First 2 accounts free, forever.
- Approvals on every plan
- Unlimited team members
- Free client reviewers
— The 10-second version
Loomly is the ideation workspace. Zilfu is flat, with free reviewers.
If post ideas, mockups, and a polished approval studio are the draw, Loomly delivers. If you just need approvals and a team without a 5x price jump, the math favors a flat plan.
Zilfu is a flat-rate alternative to Loomly: where Loomly's entry plan is about $49/month for 3 users — and every client reviewer counts against those 3 seats, so adding approvers pushes agencies to its roughly $249 Beyond tier for unlimited users — Zilfu is one flat $19/month plan with unlimited team members, free client reviewers, and approvals on every tier. Loomly leads on built-in content ideation, asset mockups, and a polished multi-step approval workspace; Zilfu wins on price, unlimited users, and free reviewers.

— FAQ
Loomly alternative, asked and answered.
For most teams, yes — Zilfu is one flat plan at $19/month with unlimited users and approvals on every tier, while Loomly's entry plan is about $49/month for 3 users and jumps to roughly $249 (its Beyond tier) for unlimited users. Loomly leads on built-in content ideation and asset mockups, so it does more on the creative side.
No. On Zilfu, client reviewers and read-only Viewers are free. On Loomly, every collaborator counts against your plan's user seats, so adding a few client reviewers on the 3-seat Starter plan can push you to the $249 Beyond tier just to get more seats.
Yes, on every Zilfu plan from $19, with free reviewer seats. Loomly's approval workflows start on its paid Starter tier — the Free plan has none — and custom multi-step roles are reserved for its Beyond tier.
Loomly has a built-in Post Ideas / content-inspiration engine, an asset library with post and ad mockups (Canva, Unsplash, Drive), and per-network optimization tips with a hashtag manager. Zilfu focuses on scheduling, approvals, analytics, and multi-account publishing rather than content ideation.
Yes, on any Zilfu plan, scheduled together in one workspace. On Loomly each account counts against your tier's social-account cap, and because it allows one account per platform per calendar, a second profile means another calendar.
Yes — flat tiers ($19, $79, $179) with unlimited users and every feature included; only the connected-account cap changes. Loomly users report a steep jump between the Starter and Beyond tiers and occasional price increases.
