The verdict

Sprout Social wins, 5.3 to 5.2

Loomly costs $65 a month for five profiles against Sprout Social's $99, and only Loomly lets you bulk schedule posts or auto re-queue evergreen ones, features Sprout does not have. Loomly's AI also generates images for posts, something Sprout's AI Assist does not do. Sprout pulls ahead on the agency side, with paid ads management, a dedicated influencer marketing product and a browser extension, none of which Loomly offers. Loomly also offers reports in your client's branding, which Sprout does not list.

Pick Loomly if you want cheaper pricing, bulk scheduling and AI-generated images.

Pick Sprout Social if you need paid-ads reporting, influencer marketing or a browser extension.
