deploy.social vs ShortSync
Same job, similar features, different currency. I used ShortSync before I built deploy.social, so this is the comparison I would have wanted: what each one costs for a solo creator, what changes when you're posting for clients, and what the first week feels like.

If you're a solo creator
Both tools post to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels, Threads, X and Bluesky from one upload with one caption. Deploy is $15 a month and ShortSync is €14.99, and both give you 5 free posts a month to make up your mind. Deciding which is cheaper for you means watching the exchange rate; I wanted a number that doesn't move, so I built my own.
If you post for clients
Our Studio plan is $39 a month for 10 workspaces; ShortSync's Team is €49.99 for 10. Each client gets their own workspace and their own link. They open it, connect their own accounts, and that's it: you never hold a password, and they never see another client's work. Up to 5 people on your team, each seeing only the clients you give them.
Your first week
Deploy opens without an account. Connect a platform and we'll ask for your email right after; your connected account comes along. No card and no trial clock, just five free posts a month. Post the same clip from both tools for a week and keep the one you like opening.
Questions
Which is better for a solo creator?
deploy.social does the same job for a flat $15 a month in US dollars; ShortSync is €14.99 in euros. ShortSync supports more platforms overall, so check its own list if you need one outside the seven Deploy covers.
Which is better for an agency?
Our Studio plan is $39 for 10 workspaces against ShortSync's Team at €49.99 for 10, with 5 team members and a link each client uses to connect their own accounts.
Can I use both?
Yes! Neither one holds your videos, so try them side by side for a week and keep the one you like.
See for yourself.
Connect a platform and post one clip. It's free, and it takes about five minutes.
