# Sked vs Sprout Social
> Canonical: https://skedsocial.com/compare/sked-vs-sprout-social
Approvals, listening, analytics and AI — a professional-grade workspace for growing teams who don't need a $249-per-user suite.
## The same team outcomes, sized for growing brands.

Sprout Social is a serious enterprise suite, priced like one. Sked gives growing teams the core of what a Sprout deploy delivers — at a price growing brands can actually run on.

### The gap where growing teams live.

- **Predictable per-plan pricing** — Flat-rate per plan. Add paid seats at $15/mo only when you grow past Accelerate's 6 users.
- **Approvals on every plan** — Configurable per brand or client. No upsell gate on basic workflow.
- **Listening that's included** — Track up to 20 competitors on Accelerate. Brand mentions and hashtags included — no premium invoice.

## You don't need enterprise to get professional.

Agencies and growing in-house teams get the same publishing rigour, approval flows and reporting depth — with 24/7 human support on every paid plan. SOC 2 Type 2 certified.
