Cloud Campaign vs Sked Social: how do they compare?

Verified and kept current by the Cloud Campaign team
Quick answer

Both manage multiple client accounts, but the models differ. Sked charges by seat and profile, with approvals as a paid add-on on its Grow plan. Cloud Campaign prices by client workspace with unlimited users, approvals on every plan, and white-labeling on Team and Agency. Sked publishes to X; Cloud Campaign does not.

Two different pricing shapes

Sked prices by seats and profiles. Its published plans are Basic at $290 a year for one user and one social set, Grow at $690 a year for three users and six profiles, and Accelerate at $1,990 a year for six users and ten profiles, with additional profiles at $80 to $100 a year and additional users available only from Accelerate at $150 a year each. Cloud Campaign prices by client workspace: Freelancer at $49 a month, Team at $199, and Agency at $299, with unlimited users on every plan and additional workspaces from $29 a month.

Where the models diverge

The difference surfaces when your team grows rather than when your client list does. On a seat-based plan, adding a coordinator, a designer, and a client reviewer either consumes included seats or costs more. Unlimited users mean your Cloud Campaign bill moves only when you take on another client. Run the numbers with your actual headcount and client count, because that is where the two models produce genuinely different answers.

Approvals are the sharpest difference

On Sked, internal approvals are a $500 per year add-on on the Grow plan, and external approvals with a no-login client review portal are a $1,000 per year add-on, both standard only from Accelerate upward. Cloud Campaign includes approval workflows on every plan, with one-click client approval and support for multi-level internal review. If client sign-off is central to how you deliver, compare all-in cost rather than headline plan price.

White-labeling

Sked's white-labeling covers its link-in-bio page. Cloud Campaign white-labels the client-facing platform itself: standard white-labeling with branded dashboards on the Team plan, and advanced white-labeling with custom domain and agency-branded email on the Agency plan. For agencies reselling a platform under their own brand, this is usually the deciding factor.

Where Sked is the better fit

Sked publishes to X and Cloud Campaign does not, so if a client requires X, Sked covers it and we do not. Sked also ships social listening, a built-in video editor, and a link-in-bio tool, and it is SOC 2 Type 2 certified. Worth noting in the other direction: Sked uses notification-based publishing for Threads and Snapchat, while Cloud Campaign publishes to Threads directly. If you are a small in-house team rather than a multi-client agency, Sked's lower entry price is real.

How to decide

Choose Sked if you need X publishing or social listening, or you are one team managing a handful of your own profiles. Choose Cloud Campaign if you manage many client brands, want approvals on every account without an add-on, and need the platform to carry your agency's brand.
