Who should pick which
Pick Holo if
- You want ads, email flows and blog posts made alongside your social posts.
- You run paid ads and want video and UGC-style creatives.
- You sell in several languages or several markets.
- You post on several networks, like TikTok and LinkedIn, not just Instagram.
Pick Season if
- Instagram is your main channel, and you want it done in depth rather than every channel at once.
- You want a 3-month plan with topics made for your store, in a look you pick from three.
- You want a 2-minute Saturday preview where doing nothing means the week goes out as planned.
- You want a 7-day free trial before you pay.
Where Season is different
Instagram, in depth
Season does one channel. It reads your store’s products, photos and prices and turns them into Instagram feed posts and carousels designed in your brand’s colors and fonts, with captions in your voice.
A season with topics and three looks
A whole season of posts is planned at once (3 months by default), across topics made for your store, in one of three complete looks Season builds from your brand.
Two minutes on Saturday
Every Saturday you see the coming week. Skip a post or change it in one line; if you do nothing, the week goes out as planned.
Try it before you pay
A 7-day free trial, then $39 a month or $99 every 3 months. The longest billing period is 3 months, and you can cancel in one click.
What Season doesn’t do
- Instagram only: no ads, emails, blog posts, or other networks like TikTok and LinkedIn.
- Feed posts and carousels only: no Reels, Stories or video.
- No inbox and no comment replies; analytics are light.
- One brand per Solo plan; several brands need Studio.
- No free plan, and the trial needs a card.
