deploy.social vs ShortSync
Same job, similar features, different price. I used ShortSync before I built Deploy, 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 $17.20, and both give you five free videos a month to make up your mind. That $2.20 a month was enough for me to build my own. If you need Snapchat Spotlight, LinkedIn or Pinterest today, ShortSync has them now and Deploy is adding them.
If you post for clients
Our Studio plan is $39 a month for ten workspaces; ShortSync's equivalent is $57.36. 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 five 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 videos a month. Post the same clip from both tools for a week and keep the one you like opening.
