SocialBee

Tool · this deep dive is built from the official pages of the platform itself and of the tools that support it.

Overview

SocialBee is a tool for scheduling and publishing posts in social networks with an emphasis on the re-use of content. The key capabilities are listed in the machine-readable index llms.txt, which the tool keeps on the site especially for reading by programs: an AI assistant (AI Copilot), content categories, the re-use of posts (post recycling), evergreen scheduling, a single inbox. Separately confirmed are the approval of posts before publication, the single inbox and the re-use of content.

The interface language of the homepage is en-US. On other language versions the data diverge: one check of the homepage recorded that language versions are declared for English only, another — that the site does not declare hreflang at all and contains no language switcher.

The conditions of support are not described on the pricing page — the page was read in full, and there is no section about support in it.

Which platforms it works with

The "Social platforms" tab on the integrations page lists ten networks for publication: Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads, YouTube, Pinterest, Bluesky, Google Business Profile.

Here it is important not to confuse platforms with integrations. On the same page there are separately listed Canva, Unsplash, GIPHY, Quu, Bitly, Rebrandly, Switchy, Replug, BL.INK, JotURL, Rocketlink, Zapier, Pabbly, Make, Buffer and Hootsuite — these are helper tools (design, selection of content, shortening of links, automation), not social networks.

The numbers for platforms diverge, and the divergence is worth keeping in mind. An automatic check of the homepage found nine networks (a lower bound — Google Business Profile is missing), while a walk over the separate pages about the platforms confirmed eight sections — Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads, TikTok, YouTube — all with plans and a trial period. The fullest list is the ten networks from the integrations page.

Instagram. The page about Instagram states outright the support of both types of account: "you can share content to either your personal Instagram profile or Business account". Of the four tools checked in this same way, SocialBee is the only one that explicitly promises publication to a personal profile. Formats and functions: single images, video, carousels, Stories, Reels, collaborative posts, evergreen re-use, a single inbox of comments, mentions and private messages, a first auto-comment, a preview of the feed, the export of reports to PDF.

TikTok. The mode of publication depends on the type of content (the page about TikTok): a single video goes by direct publication, while several videos and images (up to 12 in a post) — only through reminders (Reminders), that is, by hand.

LinkedIn. Both types are supported: "you can share content to either your personal LinkedIn profile or Company page" (the page about LinkedIn). Carousels are created from PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX files; a first comment is scheduled; for urgent content an expiry date is set, after which the post is no longer republished.

YouTube. The page about YouTube explicitly states both formats: "Videos — Any length, any ratio, up to 5GB" and "Shorts — under 60 seconds, in 1:1 or 9:16 aspect ratio, max 5GB". Of the four tools checked, this is the only one that names long video outright. Declared are titles and descriptions, an arbitrary cover (a frame or an uploaded image), chapters by timecodes, the scheduling of a first comment, the moderation of comments with publication or rejection.

Pricing

All the prices are from the pricing page. The charging is fixed per plan, profiles and users are included in the price. There are six plans: Bootstrap 29, Accelerate 49, Pro 99, Pro50 179, Pro100 329, Pro150 449 USD a month. The minimum price is 29 USD a month or 290 USD a year (annual payment is cheaper by 16%).

What is included: Bootstrap — 5 profiles and 1 user, Accelerate — 10 and 1, Pro — 25 and 3, Pro150 — 150 and 5.

Taxes are not included in the price, and the tool says so outright: "Prices … do not include VAT, GST, or any other additional taxes".

On the date of the check a promotion under the code SBDAY2026 was in force — minus 50% for three months. A promotional price is not the price of the tool, so it does not go into the calculation of the minimum cost.

The trial period is 14 days, a card is not required.

What is free

The tool has no free plan — this is recorded outright on the pricing page. Free of charge only the trial period is available: 14 days without a card.

Restrictions

The numerical limits that are not visible in the lists of "supported platforms" the tool names for TikTok (the page about TikTok): direct publication accepts MP4 and MOV of a length under 3 minutes and a size under 50 MB; images in a post — up to 12, and such posts are published only through reminders.

For Instagram the tool declares the sending of clips of up to 15 minutes (the page about Instagram) — this is the tool's own claim about its support, not a restriction of the platform itself.

The daily limit of publications for Instagram is not mentioned on the tool's page at all (the page was read in full).

How you earn with it

An affiliate programme is announced: the SocialBee Affiliate Program, the account on PartnerStack, three levels — Promoter, Advocate, Ambassador (the page of the programme). The addresses /partners and /referral redirect to /partner/. Besides the affiliate one, the Reseller, Technology and Strategic programmes are announced.

The rate: 20% of monthly recurring commission (in perpetuity) for every paid plan of the tool and 10% for every ConciergeBee service bought by the link; a raised rate on the top Ambassador level is by agreement. The accrual is open-ended: "rewards … for as long as your referrals remain customers". The lifetime of the click tag is 90 days: "We are using cookies that last 90 days to track all your referrals".

The payouts are PayPal or Stripe in a chosen currency, monthly through PartnerStack; the accruals begin after the first payment of the referred client, and all clients first go through a 14-day trial period.

Admission is by application with a check, joining is free. Any advertising is forbidden — both on brand and on non-brand queries, paid traffic is tracked; fraud leads to exclusion. Agencies and resellers are offered a different programme.

What it will not do

It will not let you work free of charge: there is no free plan, only 14 days of trial.

TikTok posts made of several videos or of images will not go out by direct publication — only through reminders, by hand. Nor will video longer than three minutes or heavier than 50 MB pass by direct publication, nor formats outside MP4 and MOV.

LinkedIn posts with an expiry date are not republished after that date — this is declared behaviour, not a fault.

A requirement to link an Instagram account with a Facebook Page is not stated on the tool's page — whereas with other tools such a requirement is declared outright. Requirements for the type of TikTok account are not stated on the page either; they need to be checked in the help centre. Restrictions on adding sounds in TikTok and restrictions on tags in LinkedIn are not mentioned on the tool's pages, although such restrictions are known as restrictions of the platforms themselves.

A minimum sum for payout in the affiliate programme is not named: 500 USD of total turnover is the condition for moving to the Advocate level, not a payout threshold. There is no separate link to the terms of the affiliate programme: on the partnerships page there is the reservation "By joining any of our partner programs, you agree to our terms", but the terms themselves do not open by the link.
