Key takeaways
- Agorapulse retired its free plan on July 6, 2026. The free Archie plan remains, but it posts only through Archie AI.
- Every self-serve Agorapulse plan stops at 10 social profiles. Hootsuite Professional, Sprout Professional and SocialPilot Ultimate allow more.
- Flekh has no inbox. Keep Agorapulse for replies if you move only review and approval to Flekh.
