Ordinal is a cloud social media management platform for teams managing Instagram and other social profiles. It combines automated scheduling and direct publishing with feed, carousel, in-feed video, Reels and Stories support. Marketers can preview an Instagram grid, add post and location tags, coordinate collaborator posts, manage comments and route content through approvals. Its audience includes individuals, marketing teams, growth teams, agencies and enterprise organizations, with the strongest fit for larger groups that need governance across several contributors.

According to the vendor’s pricing page, Starter costs $95 per month when billed monthly or $85 per month when billed annually, with a content calendar, post scheduling and AI content creation. Pro is $265 monthly or $235 annually and adds unlimited user seats, team engagements, API and MCP access, and account analytics. Growth is $695 monthly or $625 annually, adding amplification links, a leads data add-on, webhooks, custom user permissions and a shared Slack channel. Enterprise has custom plans with advanced employee advocacy, CRM connection and SAML/SSO sign-on. A 14-day free trial is available, and no free plan is offered.

Ordinal’s ecosystem extends beyond Instagram to LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Facebook, Threads, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Slack, Discord and Webflow. Web and API access support both day-to-day publishing and integration work, while analytics, cross-posting and multiple-profile management help centralize operations. The platform is a sensible choice for organizations that can justify governance features, collaboration controls and broad format coverage. Smaller teams or buyers seeking a low-cost scheduler may find the monthly commitment difficult to match, particularly because advanced permissions, webhooks, CRM connectivity and single sign-on sit in higher or custom tiers.
