Low-cost social suite with the Zia AI assistant and a free plan
Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27
Overview
Zoho Social covers publishing, monitoring and reporting across Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile, YouTube, Pinterest, TikTok, Mastodon, Threads, Bluesky, Snapchat and more. AI is delivered through Zia credits, from 5 on the free plan to 80 on Premium and above. Plans are very cheap per brand on annual billing, but credit counts are small and the pricing page lists no security certifications. It is a scheduler with AI helpers rather than an autonomous agent.
Our verdict
Zoho Social is the cheapest credible way to schedule and monitor across many networks. AI is limited by small credit allowances.
Best for
Small businesses already on Zoho that want cheap scheduling and monitoring.
Avoid if
You want heavy AI generation or an autonomous reply agent.
Pros
