Metricool alternative for short video
Metricool is known for its analytics and reports, and it's priced by brand rather than by account. Its free plan covers one brand and 20 posts a month on every network except X and LinkedIn, and Starter is $25 a month for up to five brands. Deploy is narrower on purpose: one short video to all seven platforms, X included, for $15 a month.
