Where they really differ
Credits to write with, or the month made for you
Ocoya's plans come with a monthly pot of AI credits (300 on Starter) that you spend as you write and design each post. You decide what to post and when, and the credits help with the words and images.
Socialhand is an AI social media manager: it reads your website, plans the month and makes 15, 30 and 60 posts a month in your brand, then posts them once you approve. There are no credits to count for the posts themselves.
Made for teams and agencies
Ocoya prices by seats and profiles: 5 users and 20 profiles on Team, 20 users and 100 profiles on Agency. If several people manage many brands, that's what you need, and Socialhand doesn't have team logins today.
Ocoya also connects to 28 places, including Mastodon, Tumblr and WordPress. Socialhand posts to 8 platforms, the ones most small businesses use.
Video and trying it first
Ocoya's pricing page doesn't list editing your own video. Socialhand makes reels and motion graphics from your website on every plan, and on Pro turns your phone takes into captioned reels.
Ocoya's 7-day trial needs a card. Socialhand starts free with no card, and you can write a post for today with the free Instagram caption generator without signing up at all.
When Ocoya is the better pick
- You're an agency or team managing many brands (up to 100 profiles on Agency).
- Several people need their own logins.
- You want to write every post yourself, with AI help on hand.
- You post on Mastodon, Tumblr, WordPress or other places beyond the big 8.
When Socialhand is the better pick
- You run one business and want the posts made for you.
- You want reels and motion graphics without designing them.
- You want comment and DM replies drafted on Growth and Pro.
- You want to try it on your own accounts with no card.
