$3.99/mo vs $65/mo, and Loomly has no public API at any price
Loomly is a genuinely good calendar for marketing teams, with approval workflows and brand kits built for collaboration, but none of its three tiers include a publicly documented developer API. Bulkit is the opposite shape: a REST API that's the whole product, from $3.99 a month.
It depends entirely on whether you're buying a calendar or an API, because Loomly only sells one of those. If you want the approval workflow, the brand kit and the collaborative content calendar, Loomly is a real, well-reviewed product at $65/month for 12 social accounts, and this page isn't trying to talk you out of that. But if you searched for a Loomly alternative because you assumed a $65/month scheduler must have a developer API somewhere in its plan ladder, it doesn't, not on Starter, Beyond, or even the custom Enterprise tier. Bulkit is built for exactly that gap: $3.99/month, 500 posts and comments included, then a cent per action, with the REST API as the only surface the product has.
"Loomly alternatives" gets searched by two very different people, and only one of them should keep reading this page.
If that's you, Loomly is a well-built product at a fair price for what it does. Go compare its Starter and Beyond tiers on their own pricing page rather than reading five more sections about an API you'll never touch. See Loomly's pricing →
No, Loomly has no publicly documented developer API on any plan. Loomly's own pricing page lists calendar, approval and analytics features across Starter, Beyond and Enterprise, and never lists API access as a plan feature; loomly.com/developers returns a 404. A couple of third-party integration-tracker sites reference an unofficial OAuth2 flow, but that isn't Loomly's own documentation and isn't something you can build a production integration against. If you need to publish, schedule or pull data programmatically, Loomly isn't the tool. Bulkit's REST API, Node.js SDK, CLI and MCP server are all available on the single $3.99/mo plan, with no separate API tier to unlock.
| Bulkit | Loomly | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | $3.99/mo | $65/mo (Starter) |
| Free plan | No free plan, no card to start | Free trial only, no permanent free tier |
| Seats / users | Unlimited on every plan | 3 (Starter) → unlimited (Beyond) |
| Connected profiles | Unlimited on every plan | 12 (Starter) → 60 (Beyond) → 61+ (Enterprise) |
| Post volume limit | 500 posts & comments/mo included, then $0.01/action, no hard cap | Unlimited calendars, no published post cap found |
| Public API | Yes, the API is the product, on every plan | None found, no public developer API on any tier |
| API gated to | No plan; it's the only plan | N/A; not available at any price |
| CSV export | Not needed; REST API, SDK, CLI, n8n node | Analytics data only, not post content (PDF for calendars) |
On Bulkit, 500 posts and comments a month is exactly the included allowance, so with zero overage the bill is the flat $3.99. Five connected accounts fits inside Loomly's Starter tier ($65/mo, 12 accounts), so on a pure calendar-vs-API-cost basis Loomly is roughly 16× the price for the same monthly volume, and that's before accounting for the fact that Bulkit's price includes an API and Loomly's doesn't include one at any price.
Bulkit is ~16× cheaper at this volume

None of this is a knock on Loomly as a product; it's simply built for a different job than Bulkit is. If your team's actual bottleneck is getting a post approved by three stakeholders before it goes live, or keeping ten client brands' logos, colors and voice consistent across a shared calendar, Loomly solves that well and Bulkit doesn't try to.
Loomly's calendar and post views export to PDF, and CSV export is limited to Advanced Analytics data, not post content. There is no clean, automated way to pull a scheduled queue out of Loomly programmatically, so don't expect a one-command migration.
The realistic path most teams take: leave Loomly's current queue scheduled as-is, and point every new post at Bulkit going forward. Nothing already scheduled needs to move.
For posts still on the calendar that you do want to move, use Loomly's PDF calendar export as your working reference and recreate them with a Bulkit API call, the CLI, or the dashboard's own drag-and-drop calendar, whichever fits how your team works.
No, there is no publicly documented developer API for Loomly at any plan tier, including the custom Enterprise plan. loomly.com/developers returns a 404, and API access never appears as a feature on Loomly's pricing page. If programmatic publishing is what you need, Bulkit's REST API is on every plan starting at $3.99/mo.
Loomly itself has no permanent free tier, only a free trial. Bulkit doesn't have a free plan either, but there's no credit card required to create an API key, and the entry cost is $3.99/mo rather than Loomly's $65/mo Starter plan, which for many small projects is close enough to free to matter.
Yes. Bulkit's platform apps are already approved with Meta, TikTok and the other networks, so you connect your accounts through Bulkit's OAuth flow and start publishing, with no multi-week app review to sit through on your own.
Not automatically. Loomly doesn't export scheduled post content as CSV or expose an API to read it, only PDF calendar views and CSV analytics exports. Most teams let their existing Loomly queue finish naturally while pointing new posts at Bulkit, and manually recreate any upcoming posts they specifically want to move using the PDF export as a reference.
No, Bulkit doesn't build review/approval steps into the product today. If a formal sign-off workflow is central to how your team operates, that's a genuine reason to stay on Loomly or a similar scheduler; Bulkit expects that kind of review to live in your own application before the API call is made.
Loomly's Beyond plan is $332/mo for 60 connected accounts and unlimited users, a flat jump from Starter's $65/mo and 12 accounts, with nothing in between. Bulkit doesn't tier by account count at all: connected accounts are unlimited and free on the single $3.99/mo plan, so the bill only grows with the number of actions you actually publish.
For agencies that want a shared calendar with brand kits and client approval workflows, yes, that's squarely what Loomly is built for. For agencies that want to publish programmatically on behalf of many client accounts through their own tooling, Loomly has no API to build that on, which is where Bulkit fits instead.
$3.99/mo, 500 actions included, then a cent each. No calendar to learn, no approval workflow to configure, just a REST API you can call today.
