Who each tool fits

Metricool fits freelancers and agencies that manage many brands, want a free plan to start, publish to a wide range of networks including Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky and Twitch, and report on Google Ads alongside social ads.

Karobar fits shops that sell through social media and WhatsApp. Customers ask on Instagram, confirm on WhatsApp and pay cash on delivery. Karobar keeps the chat, the order, the courier, the stock and the ad results together, with plans that include several users.

Pricing explained

Metricool's pricing page shows prices in euros and US dollars, by number of brands. Starter starts at $20 a month billed yearly ($25 monthly) for 5 brands; Advanced starts at $53 a month billed yearly ($67 monthly) for 15 brands; and there is a free plan for one brand. An agency with many small clients gets a lot for the price.

Karobar is priced for one business with a team: Individual at $20 for one user, Team at $39 for three, Brand at $59 for five and Enterprise at $199 for ten, with 12% off yearly. Every plan includes WhatsApp, the inbox, orders and ad results.

Messages and orders

Both tools bring comments and messages into one place and can turn comments into DMs. Karobar adds WhatsApp, which most shops in Pakistan, the Gulf and Southeast Asia sell through, and the steps after the chat: an order with cash on delivery, the courier and tracking number, and updates to the customer. See Sales Desk and COD order confirmation.

Ads

Metricool connects Facebook Ads, Google Ads and TikTok Ads accounts. Karobar covers Meta, TikTok and Snapchat ads, imports 12 months of history, ranks creatives against others with the same goal, and follows ad spend through chats to delivered orders. See Ad Insights and the Meta ads audit checklist.

A worked example: one shop, three people

Metricool prices by brand, which suits agencies; a single shop is one brand. Its Starter plan begins at $20 a month billed yearly and covers planning, analytics, an inbox for Instagram, Facebook, Google Business Profile, TikTok and YouTube, and comment-to-DM Flows. Karobar's Team plan is $39 a month for three people and adds WhatsApp, Messenger DMs, orders with cash on delivery, courier tracking, stock, and Snapchat ad results.

If you manage social media for several clients, Metricool's brand-based pricing goes further. If you run one shop whose customers buy through chat, Karobar covers the selling.

What Karobar does not do

So you can decide with the full picture, here is what Karobar does not offer today: posting to Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky or Twitch, Google Ads reporting, or a free plan. Karobar focuses on one business, its customers' messages and its orders.

  1. Connect your accounts in Karobar under Settings → Channels.
  2. Move planned posts with a spreadsheet upload; see Bulk upload social media posts.
  3. Connect WhatsApp and your ad accounts, and add your products so orders and replies use real prices.
