Boomp vs. Metricool (2026): Post-Writing Software vs. Analytics and Scheduling

Disclosure: boomp.net is ours, and it is one of the options on this page.

Metricool shows how your social media performs and schedules the posts you make. Boomp is software that reads your public website, writes posts with images, and publishes the ones you approve. Choose Metricool when posts already exist and you want to measure them. Choose Boomp when the calendar is empty because nobody has time to write the posts.

When Metricool is the better choice

Metricool is a strong fit if you:

  • already make posts and want to see which ones work;
  • track competitors, ad accounts and website traffic in one dashboard;
  • manage several brands and need PDF or PowerPoint reports (Starter and above); or
  • want a useful free plan for one brand and do not need LinkedIn or X.

Metricool is cheaper than Boomp Core as software. That comparison only holds when someone at the business already makes the posts it measures.

When Boomp is the better choice

Boomp fits if you:

  • have a website that already says what you do, for whom and how;
  • do not run ads or check dashboards, and want the pages active;
  • want posts written for you and would rather approve than create; and
  • want the same posts on Google Business Profile, Facebook, LinkedIn and the other channels you use.

On Core, approving takes about ten minutes a week for Kathleen's own accounts. That is her figure, not a guarantee. Auto approval is off unless you turn it on in settings; with it off, each post waits for your yes.

Metricool is cheaper as software. Before deciding, count who on your team will write the posts Metricool schedules and measures.

Use both

Boomp Packs at $9 a month sends ten finished posts by email link and connects nothing. You can schedule them in Metricool and keep its analytics. Or Boomp Core can publish the posts while Metricool reports on the same accounts. Check that Metricool's plan connects the networks you use: LinkedIn starts on Starter, and X is an add-on.

What stays with you

Boomp writes from what your public website says. You check every fact, offer and photo before it publishes, and you decide what is true and useful. No Boomp plan includes ads, replies to comments or messages, or photo shoots.

Three doors, by how much of the job you keep. Every Boomp plan starts from the website. Packs at $9 a month sends ten finished posts by email link for you to publish with Metricool or any scheduler, nothing connected. Core at $39 publishes twenty posts, a carousel and a video after you approve each one in the app. The done-for-you option at $275 has Boomp's founder approve them for you, so you never open the app.

Enter your public website and email. We send a link to ten finished posts made from your website, including images, a carousel and a short video. No account or card is needed. Check the services, facts and voice before you choose a plan.

Frequently asked questions

Metricool Starter is $20 a month billed annually; Boomp starts at $9 a month.

Does Metricool create content for you?

Metricool includes an AI assistant with a monthly credit allowance, 5 credits per brand on the free plan, read October 16, 2026. It helps with text. You still supply the idea, the photo or video and the facts for each post. Boomp writes complete posts with images from your website, and on Core you approve each one before it publishes, unless you turn on auto approval.

Boomp Packs is $9 a month and Core, with publishing, $39.

Can I use Boomp and Metricool together?

Yes. Boomp Packs sends ten finished posts by email link each month and connects nothing, so you can schedule them in Metricool and keep its analytics.

What does Boomp not do that Metricool does?

Boomp has no analytics dashboard, competitor analysis, ad reporting, web traffic reporting or link-in-bio page.
