# More than white-label: an Instagram-first agency workspace
> Canonical: https://skedsocial.com/cloud-campaign-alternative
Cloud Campaign is a white-label-first platform built for agencies reselling social under their own brand. Teams look for an alternative when they care more about Instagram-first visual planning, a wider set of publicly confirmed networks, and native in-app editing than about rebranding the dashboard.
Cloud Campaign is a white-label social media management platform built for agencies and franchises to run and rebrand client social programs at scale.

## Sked or Cloud Campaign: the short answer

### Choose Sked if

- You publish heavily to Instagram and want to plan the feed visually with grid preview, Stories, first comment, and carousels.
- You post across many networks and want TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Google Business Profile, and Threads clearly supported rather than left unlisted.
- You want native in-app video and image editing built into the scheduler instead of relying on external tools.
- You want analytics and competitor monitoring available without buying the very top plan just to get basic access.

### Choose Cloud Campaign if

- You are an agency reselling social under your own brand and need full white-label dashboards, domains, and reports from the entry plan.
- You add teammates constantly and want your whole team on every plan with no per-seat fees.
- You want unlimited AI captions and AI image generation baked into every tier, plus client approvals on the cheapest plan.

Cloud Campaign best fit: In-house teams and agencies that publish Instagram-first, work across many networks, and want visual planning plus native in-app editing and a Kanban approval board, rather than primarily reselling a rebranded dashboard to clients.

## Where Cloud Campaign wins, and where Sked does

### Where Cloud Campaign wins

- Client approval workflows are included on every Cloud Campaign plan, including the entry Freelancer tier.
- Every plan includes the whole team, so Cloud Campaign never charges per seat.
- Unlimited AI caption generation and ImageAI image generation are included, unmetered, on every plan including Freelancer.
- White-labeled reports are included at no additional cost, part of a white-label-first product built for agencies.
- Cloud Campaign holds a 4.9 rating on Capterra across 161 reviews.

### Where Sked wins

- Multi-step approval workflows route every post to clients and managers for sign-off before it publishes, so nothing goes live without the right eyes on it. Included from the Accelerate plan and available as an add-on on Grow.
- Instagram-first visual planning with a drag-and-drop grid preview, first comment, stories, carousels and auto-publishing, built around how the platform actually works rather than bolted on after the fact.
- Performance analytics and exportable reports across every connected profile, so agencies and in-house teams can show social results to clients and leadership instead of guessing at them.
- Built for agencies and multi-brand teams, with shared collaboration, labels and per-client organisation that keep separate clients and workspaces cleanly apart.

### Common Cloud Campaign complaints

- Public API workflows and single sign-on (SSO) are gated to the top Agency tier at $299/month.
- The entry Freelancer plan ($49/month) is limited to 1 brand workspace and 7 social accounts per client, with each additional workspace costing $49/month.
- There is no free plan; access starts at the paid Freelancer tier after a 14-day trial.
- Phone support only starts at the Team tier ($199/month); Freelancer is limited to chat support.
- Cloud Campaign's site confirms Instagram and Facebook and integrations like Canva and Google Drive, but does not itemize networks such as TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, or Google Business Profile.
- The AI toolset is generative (captions, ImageAI images, inbox replies) with no native video or image editor documented on the site.

## Moving from Cloud Campaign to Sked

Typical migration time: About a day for a single brand; a few days if you are moving many client workspaces..

- Rebuild queues and calendars – Recreate your posting schedule and content queues, and set up a client calendar or workspace for each brand you manage.
- Set up approvals and roles – Configure the Kanban approval board and role-based permissions so client sign-off matches your existing workflow.
- Invite your team – Add teammates within your plan's seat allotment and confirm everyone can see the accounts they need.
