Is there a free Sprout Social alternative?

looot has no monthly seat. You pay per call to the provider you pick, and the catalog shows each endpoint's price before you run it. Whether that comes out cheaper than Sprout Social depends on your volume.

What does Sprout Social cost?

List prices change, so check Sprout Social's own pricing page. This page does not repeat them. The looot side is read live from the catalog on the web version of this page.

What is a good Sprout Social alternative for an AI agent?

An agent with a looot connection can call the providers behind Sprout Social's data jobs directly. The providers used here are scrapecreators, tikhub, justoneapi, newsdata-io, brave-search.

Which Sprout Social features does looot not cover?

Not covered: schedule and publish posts, shared social inbox, approval workflows and team seats, hosted reporting dashboard. Keep Sprout Social for those, or use another tool beside looot.

How do I replace Sprout Social with looot?

Paste the agent prompt on this page into your coding agent. It sets up looot, finds the endpoints for each job and runs them. You can edit the prompt to match your own inputs.

Do I need a Sprout Social account to use looot?

No. looot calls its own providers and does not connect to your Sprout Social account. Your existing Sprout Social data stays where it is.

Ask your agent

Paste one prompt to replace Sprout Social

Your agent reads the looot setup file once, then runs the jobs below and shows each price first.

Prompt to replace Sprout Social

Use looot to pull the public profile data and latest posts for the social accounts I give you and summarise what changed. If you have not yet, set up https://looot.ai/skill.md first. Then search the looot catalog for each step, check the price of each endpoint before you call it, run the cheapest one that fits, and show me the results as a table.

Setup

One prompt, one price, one ledger

The same three steps every looot agent follows.
