10 Best SocialBee Alternatives in 2026: Free Plans, Evergreen Recycling and Prices

Add ons are bought inside the app: a set of 5 extra profiles for $15 a month ($150 a year), an extra user for $10 a month ($100 a year) and an extra workspace for $10 a month ($100 a year). Yearly billing is listed as 16% off. AI content generation is listed as unlimited on every plan. Prices exclude VAT, GST and other taxes.

• Post Generators for Each Network

  Separate pages for Instagram captions, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest pins, Facebook, LinkedIn and tweets, built on the same prompt library as the AI post generator. For an app, Spreadcast writes the caption per network from your listing; our caption guide shows the limits and formulas it follows.

• Mockup Generators for Facebook, Instagram, X, Pinterest and LinkedIn

  Five mockup tools that show how a post will look in each feed before you publish it, the Facebook and Instagram post mockup generators being the ones Google suggests. If you already schedule with Postiz, its composer has a preview column for each network, per Postiz's quickstart guide.

• Hashtag Generators for Seven Networks

  A general hashtag generator plus one each for Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, X and LinkedIn. Mind the limit on Instagram: SocialBee's own posting errors article says a post can carry at most 30 hashtags, and Pinterest flags more than 20.

• Instagram Grid Planner and Collage Maker

  The grid planner lets you upload posts and preview the feed before they go out, and the collage maker combines several photos into one image. Later, in the roundup above, builds its paid plans around the same kind of visual grid planner.

• Engagement Rate Calculators

  Five calculators: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and a general one. They give a quick number for a public account, which is useful for sizing up a competitor before you pay for an analytics plan.

• Image Resizers, a Line Breaker, a Character Counter and a UTM Builder

  Resizers for Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook, an Instagram line breaker that keeps blank lines in captions, a character counter for X and a UTM link generator. For the sizes themselves see our social media image sizes guide, and for links to an app's App Store page, the free App Store campaign link generator writes them in Apple's format.

• No Free Plan

  SocialBee starts at $29 a month after a 14 day trial, and posting stops when the trial ends. Buffer, Publer and Metricool each keep a free plan with no end date, and Spreadcast's free plan drafts every post for one app. A founder with two or three profiles and no budget has no way to stay on SocialBee.

• Five Profiles and One User on the $29 Plan

  Bootstrap works out to $5.80 a profile ($29 divided by 5). A sixth profile means the $15 set of 5 extra profiles, so $44 a month, or Accelerate at $49. A second person is another $10. Publer's plans and pricing article starts a paid plan at $5 a month for a single account.

• CSV Uploads and Post Approval Start at $49

  Bootstrap cannot import a CSV file, edit posts in bulk or hold a draft for approval. Those arrive on Accelerate. RecurPost includes bulk CSV scheduling on its $9 plan, and Buffer's free plan can already upload a CSV file.

• Three Months of Analytics on Bootstrap

  Bootstrap keeps 3 months of data. Accelerate keeps 2 years and adds advanced analytics, and exported reports are listed on Pro at $99 a month. Metricool keeps the full history and exports PDF and PPT reports from $25 a month.

• An Inbox Without Benchmarking or Routing

  SocialBee's inbox covers comments, mentions and DMs on six networks. Its pricing page lists no competitor benchmarking and no routing of a message to the right teammate. Hootsuite has brand and competitor monitoring and benchmarking from Standard, and message routing on Advanced.

• No Public API and No White Label

  SocialBee's help center says both are unavailable today. If a script, an agent or another product should create your posts, Spreadcast has an MCP server that lets Claude or ChatGPT design posts, write captions and schedule them for an app, Buffer offers an API on every plan and Postiz adds webhooks and open source code.

• Some Accounts Post by Reminder

  Facebook groups, personal Facebook and Instagram profiles, Telegram, Mastodon and WhatsApp do not publish by themselves in SocialBee: the mobile app reminds you and you finish the post by hand. Publer and Postiz publish to Telegram directly.

• The Categories Are Still Yours to Fill

  Recycling repeats what you already wrote, and the AI Copilot drafts when you sit down and ask it to. Neither one knows that your app shipped version 3.2 or collected its thousandth rating. If the feed is quiet because nobody makes the posts, a category system has nothing to rotate.

Prices and limits were read from each vendor's own pages between October 11 and 13, 2026 and exclude tax. Sources are linked in each entry below.

1. 1

   Spreadcast

   Free, then $29 a month flat with publishing to 8 networks included

   Best if the categories are empty: it designs your app's posts and publishes them for you

   Spreadcast is ours, and it starts where SocialBee stops. SocialBee rotates a library that somebody has to write first. Spreadcast writes the library as your app produces news: you paste your App Store link once at the start page, it reads the public listing every day, and each new version, each new 5 star review and each rating milestone becomes a designed post. In a week with no release it drafts a post about one feature of the app, so the feed keeps moving without recycling last month's post. Every post is a 1080 by 1350 image built from your icon, screenshots and colors, with a caption written for each network.

   On Pro, Spreadcast publishes those posts to Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram and Discord, plus YouTube for video posts, after one tap of approval or on full autopilot. Each post takes the next free slot on a calendar, and you can drag it to another day. A post that quotes a reviewer always waits for you, because Apple's ratings and reviews guidance allows reviews in marketing only with the reviewer's permission. Setup is the App Store link: no SDK, no code, no categories to plan and no CSV file to prepare.

   SocialBee Bootstrap and Spreadcast Pro both cost $29 a month, so compare what each $29 buys. SocialBee gives you 5 profiles, 10 categories and an AI that drafts when you prompt it. Spreadcast gives you 8 networks with every app post designed, captioned and published. To reach 8 profiles on SocialBee you add the set of 5 extra profiles, which makes $44 a month ($29 plus $15). That is $15 more than Spreadcast Pro ($44 minus $29) before anyone has made a post. The free plan drafts every post for 1 app, ready to download with a small Spreadcast mark, and Studio is $79 a month for 5 apps and 3 seats, with a separate brand for each app.

   It is built for apps on the App Store and makes still image posts, with basic post stats. If you already run SocialBee, keep it for the evergreen tips, blog links and replies, and let Spreadcast run the recurring app posts. See how that looks for indie hackers, or read how an AI social media manager differs from a scheduler.

   Pros

   • Designs each post for you from your icon, screenshots and colors
   • Publishes to 8 networks, with a caption written for each one
   • Starts from one App Store link, with no library to write first
   • The free plan drafts every post for 1 app
   • $29 a month flat, with design, captions and publishing included
   • MCP server so Claude or ChatGPT can design posts, write captions and schedule them, drafts only by default

   Cons

   • Built for apps on the App Store
   • Still image posts, so keep an editor for video
2. 2

   Buffer

   Free for 3 channels, then $6 per channel a month

   Best free SocialBee alternative

   Buffer answers the most common reason for leaving: SocialBee has no free plan, and Buffer's has no end date. Buffer's pricing page lists a Free plan with up to 3 channels, 10 scheduled posts per channel at one time, an AI Assistant and replies to comments. A slot refills when its post publishes, so a founder who posts a few times a week on three networks may never pay.

   Paid plans are priced per channel. Essentials is $6 per channel a month billed monthly or $5 billed yearly, and Team, which adds approval workflows and unlimited users, is $12 or $10, per Buffer's machine readable pricing file. SocialBee vs Buffer on price comes down to how many profiles you run. At 3, Buffer is free and SocialBee is $29. At 5, Buffer Essentials is $30 (5 times $6) against $29, which is a tie. At 6 and 7, Buffer is $36 and $42, while SocialBee needs its profile add on and costs $44 ($29 plus $15). At 8 it turns: Buffer is $48 (8 times $6) and SocialBee is still $44, and at 10 Buffer is $60. Buffer wins up to 7 channels and SocialBee wins from 8.

   What you give up is the feature SocialBee is known for. Buffer's pricing file lists a queue, tags, a hashtag manager and first comment scheduling, and no content categories that requeue posts. An evergreen library has to be scheduled again by hand or uploaded again: Buffer's bulk upload guide allows up to 100 posts per channel in one CSV file on paid plans, for text and single image posts.

   Buffer also has two things SocialBee says it does not: an API on every plan, the free one included, and Team seats with no price per user. It publishes to 12 channels, Mastodon among them. Our Buffer comparison sets Buffer beside Spreadcast.

   Pros

   • A free plan for 3 channels with no end date
   • AI Assistant and replies to comments on every plan
   • API access on every plan
   • Approval workflows and unlimited users on Team

   Cons

   • No evergreen recycling on the pricing page
   • The price climbs with every channel: $48 a month for 8
   • Telegram is not among its 12 channels
3. 3

   Publer

   Free, then from $5 a month for 1 account

   Best lower price per account, with recycling on Business

   Publer charges for exactly the number of accounts you connect, which makes it the cheapest paid route off SocialBee for a small setup. The free plan covers 3 social accounts with 10 scheduled posts each, without X. Professional starts at $5 a month for one account and Business at $10, per Publer's plans and pricing article. Our Publer comparison goes deeper.

   On October 11, 2026 Publer's price selector showed Professional at $12 a month for 3 accounts, $20 for 5, $32 for 8 and $36 for 10, and Business at $21 for 3, $35 for 5, $56 for 8 and $63 for 10, with 20% off on yearly billing. SocialBee Bootstrap is $29 for 5 profiles. Publer Professional for the same 5 is $20, which saves $9 a month ($29 minus $20). The catch for a SocialBee user is that post recycling sits on Business, where 5 accounts cost $35, or $6 more than Bootstrap ($35 minus $29). With 3 accounts the sum turns around: Business is $21, which is $8 less than Bootstrap.

   SocialBee vs Publer on recycling is a difference in method. Publer recycles post by post instead of category by category. Publer's guide to recycling posts has you build a posting schedule with labeled time slots, then set a post to recycle every week, month or year, with an optional expiry by date or by number of cycles. The same guide says YouTube, TikTok and WordPress posts cannot be recycled, and that X, Pinterest and Google Business Profile need at least 10 variations of a post. Publer's Business plan article adds analytics, competitor analysis, recurring posts and approval workflows to the same plan, and says the API is offered to Business customers in good standing only.

   Reach is wider than SocialBee's. Publer's list of supported networks has 13, with direct publishing to Telegram and Mastodon, which SocialBee handles by reminder, plus WordPress. Paid plans accept one CSV file of up to 500 posts, per Publer's CSV upload article, which is the quickest way to bring a SocialBee export across.

   Pros

   • A free plan with 3 accounts
   • $20 a month for 5 accounts on Professional
   • Post recycling, analytics and approvals on Business
   • Publishes to Telegram and Mastodon directly
   • CSV uploads of up to 500 posts on paid plans

   Cons

   • No X on the free plan
   • Recycling needs Business: $35 a month for 5 accounts
   • YouTube and TikTok posts cannot be recycled
4. 4

   RecurPost

   From $9 a month for 2 accounts

   Best evergreen content scheduler at a lower entry price

   RecurPost is the tool people set beside SocialBee most directly: both a SocialBee alternative RecurPost search and RecurPost vs SocialBee appeared in the search suggestions we collected. It is built on the same idea under another name, content libraries that recycle posts into recurring time slots. RecurPost's pricing page lists evergreen content libraries, unlimited stored library posts, bulk CSV scheduling, a unified social inbox and an engagement analytics dashboard on every plan, the $9 one included.

   There are three self serve plans. Starter is $9 a month for 2 social accounts, 1 user and up to 10 posts per account a day. Personal is $25 for 5 accounts and 20 posts per account a day, and adds post variations, seasonal libraries and 2 RSS feeds. Agency is $79 for 20 accounts and 3 users, with a workspace per client, an internal and external approval workflow and white label reports. Yearly billing gives two months free. An extra account costs $4 a month on any plan and an extra teammate $20.

   Set that against SocialBee. For 5 profiles, RecurPost Personal is $25 and SocialBee Bootstrap is $29, a $4 difference. For 8, RecurPost is $37 ($25 plus 3 times $4) and SocialBee is $44. For 2, RecurPost is $9 and SocialBee is still $29. RecurPost also includes bulk CSV scheduling from the first plan, which SocialBee holds back until Accelerate at $49.

   SocialBee is ahead in three places. Bootstrap reads 10 RSS sources where RecurPost Personal reads 2, and on Starter a feed is a $10 add on. SocialBee's post approval starts at $49, while RecurPost's approval workflow and client workspaces start at $79. And SocialBee lists its AI generation as unlimited, where RecurPost sells extra AI posts and images in blocks of 200 for $10 a month. RecurPost has no free plan either: the trial is 14 days without a card. It publishes to ten networks and Telegram is not one of them.

   Pros

   • Evergreen libraries on every plan, from $9 a month
   • Bulk CSV scheduling and a unified inbox on every plan
   • Extra accounts for $4 a month each
   • A 14 day trial with no credit card

   Cons

   • No free plan
   • Approval workflow and client workspaces start at $79 a month
   • 2 RSS feeds on Personal, and a paid add on for Starter
5. 5

   MeetEdgar

   From $29.99 a month for 5 accounts

   Best for a content library that reshares itself

   MeetEdgar is built on a recycling library and little else. You load posts into a library by category, give each category weekly time slots, and Edgar keeps publishing from the library and resharing your evergreen posts, as the MeetEdgar homepage describes it. If recycling was the reason you chose SocialBee and everything around it is the reason you are leaving, this is the nearest relative.

   MeetEdgar's pricing page has two plans. Eddie is $29.99 a month, or $299 a year ($24.91 a month), for 5 social accounts, 10 weekly automations, 4 content categories and 15 AI credits a month, without the social inbox. Edgar is $49.99 a month, or $499 a year ($41.58 a month), for 25 accounts, 1,000 weekly automations, unlimited categories, the inbox and 50 AI credits. Both plans include unlimited scheduled posts and 20 team members at no extra cost.

   SocialBee vs MeetEdgar changes with the plan. At the entry level the prices are a dollar apart and SocialBee gives more: 10 categories against 4, an inbox, and AI that is listed as unlimited against 15 credits. One step up it turns around. Edgar's $49.99 buys 25 accounts and 20 team members, while SocialBee Accelerate at $49 buys 10 profiles and 1 user, and 25 profiles on SocialBee means Pro at $99. A solo user with 5 profiles gets more from Bootstrap. A small team with many accounts gets more from Edgar.

   The trial runs 30 days, twice as long as SocialBee's, but the pricing page says your payment method is charged automatically when it ends, where SocialBee asks for no card at all. Its FAQ names nine networks: TikTok, Instagram, X, Threads, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, Google Business Profile and Bluesky. An extra account is $4.99 a month on Eddie and $2.99 on Edgar.

   Pros

   • Library resharing is the core of both plans
   • 20 team members on every plan at no extra cost
   • 25 accounts for $49.99 a month on Edgar
   • A 30 day free trial

   Cons

   • No free plan
   • Eddie stops at 4 content categories and 10 weekly automations
   • The social inbox is on Edgar only
   • AI credits are capped at 15 or 50 a month
6. 6

   Metricool

   Free, then from $25 a month

   Best when you need analytics, competitors and reports

   Metricool started as an analytics tool, and it answers the thinnest part of SocialBee's entry plan. Its free plan includes 30 days of analytics and 5 competitor profiles along with scheduling for 1 brand and 20 posts a month, with LinkedIn and X left out. Starter is $25 a month billed monthly ($20 billed annually) for up to 5 brands, with LinkedIn, unlimited analytics history and reports in PDF and PPT, per Metricool's pricing page. See also our Metricool comparison.

   Compare the reporting. SocialBee Bootstrap keeps 3 months of data, Accelerate keeps 2 years, and exported reports are listed on Pro at $99 a month. Metricool Starter keeps the full history and exports reports for $25, which is $74 less than SocialBee Pro ($99 minus $25) if a monthly report is what you need. It reads ads data from Facebook, Google and TikTok on every plan, and its pricing page lists an inbox as well.

   Pricing is per brand, and one brand holds one profile on each network. An app with a profile on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Pinterest and Bluesky fits inside one brand for $25, with four brands to spare. SocialBee counts every profile, so the same seven need the add on or Accelerate. Two costs sit outside Metricool's headline: X is $10 a month for each connected account, and approvals, roles and the API start on Advanced at $67 a month billed monthly.

   For evergreen posts Metricool has Autolists. Metricool's guide to Autolists describes a list of posts that publishes automatically on a schedule you choose, can repeat or cycle through its posts, and can pull new items from an RSS feed. That covers plain recycling. It is a list on a timer more than a category system with an expiry rule on each post, so load a sample of your library during the free plan before you move everything.

   Pros

   • Free plan with 30 days of analytics and 5 competitor profiles
   • Full history and PDF and PPT reports from $25 a month
   • One brand covers one profile on each network
   • Autolists repeat a list of posts on a schedule

   Cons

   • The free plan leaves out LinkedIn and X
   • X costs $10 a month per connected account
   • Approvals and roles start at $67 a month
7. 7

   SocialPilot

   From $30 a month for 7 accounts

   Best for more accounts per dollar

   SocialPilot has the same shape as SocialBee, flat plans with a fixed number of accounts, and puts more accounts in each one. SocialPilot's plans page lists Essentials at $30 a month billed monthly ($25.50 billed annually) with 7 social accounts, 1 user, 500 AI credits, a content library and a Repeat Post option. SocialBee vs SocialPilot is one of the comparisons that search suggestions show.

   For $1 more than Bootstrap you connect 7 accounts instead of 5. That is about $4.29 an account ($30 divided by 7) against $5.80 ($29 divided by 5). Extra accounts are $4 a month each, so 8 accounts cost $34 ($30 plus $4) where SocialBee costs $44. The gap widens with people: Standard is $50 a month for 15 accounts and 3 users, while SocialBee Accelerate at $49 has 10 profiles and 1 user. Premium is $100 for 25 accounts and 6 users.

   The entry plan is thinner than SocialBee's in two ways. Analytics and the social inbox start on Standard, so the $30 plan has neither, and Bootstrap has both. Bulk scheduling and CSV uploads start on Premium at $100, against $49 on SocialBee. Manager approval comes with Standard.

   There is no free plan, and the trial is 14 days without a card. Its network list matches SocialBee's ten, with no Telegram. On evergreen posts, the plans page names Repeat Post and a content library and describes no categories that rotate with an expiry rule, so treat it as a lighter version of what SocialBee does. Pick SocialPilot when the count of accounts and seats drives the bill. Skip it if the category system is why you liked SocialBee.

   Pros

   • 7 accounts for $30 a month
   • Extra accounts at $4 a month each
   • 15 accounts and 3 users on Standard for $50 a month
   • A 14 day trial with no credit card

   Cons

   • No free plan
   • No analytics or inbox on Essentials
   • Bulk scheduling and CSV uploads start at $100 a month
8. 8

   Later

   From $25 a month

   Best for planning an Instagram and TikTok grid visually

   Later plans around the picture. Its visual planner lets you drag media onto a calendar and see the Instagram grid before anything publishes, with a link in bio page and posting time suggestions on every paid plan. Later's pricing page lists Starter at $25 a month billed monthly ($18.75 billed yearly) for 1 social set of 8 profiles, one per network, with 1 user and 30 posts per profile a month. Our Later comparison has more.

   Growth is $50 a month with 2 social sets, 2 users and 180 posts per profile, and adds approval workflows, a social inbox and a year of analytics. Scale, at $110 a month, removes the post cap. Later's networks are Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, Pinterest, LinkedIn, YouTube and Snapchat.

   SocialBee vs Later is a choice between a library and a look. Coming from SocialBee, mind four things. X and Bluesky are not among Later's networks. Starter caps each profile at 30 posts a month, where SocialBee's pricing page lists no monthly post cap. The pricing page names no content categories and no evergreen recycling. And AI on Starter is 5 caption credits a month. SocialBee lists an Instagram grid preview of its own, so the planner alone is a thin reason to switch.

   Later fits a brand whose marketing lives on Instagram and TikTok and whose feed has to look planned. If that is close but not quite right, the best Later alternatives compares the other visual planners.

   Pros

   • A visual planner built around the Instagram and TikTok feed
   • Link in bio page and posting time suggestions on every paid plan
   • One social set covers 8 profiles for $25 a month
   • Social inbox and approvals from Growth

   Cons

   • No X and no Bluesky
   • Starter stops at 30 posts per profile a month and 1 user
   • No evergreen recycling on the pricing page
9. 9

   Hootsuite

   From $99 a month per user, billed annually

   Best full suite with a team inbox and monitoring

   Hootsuite is where teams go when SocialBee's inbox is no longer enough. Hootsuite's plans page lists Standard at $99 per user a month on annual billing for up to 10 social accounts, with one inbox for messages, brand and competitor monitoring, benchmarking against 5 competitors and AI drafts. Professional is $199 with unlimited social accounts, automated inbox replies and custom reports, and Advanced is $399 with approval workflows and message routing. See our Hootsuite comparison.

   SocialBee vs Hootsuite is, with Buffer, the comparison people search most. On price it is not close. SocialBee Accelerate gives one person 10 profiles and post approval for $49 a month. Hootsuite Standard gives one person 10 accounts for $99, and approvals wait until Advanced at $399. For three people, SocialBee Pro is $99 in total, because it includes 3 users per workspace, and Hootsuite Standard is $297 (3 times $99).

   What the difference pays for is everything around the post: brand and competitor monitoring, benchmarking, routing a message to the right teammate and team productivity reports. SocialBee's inbox handles comments, mentions and DMs, and its pricing page lists no benchmarking and no routing. Hootsuite's integrations page names Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Pinterest and Bluesky for publishing. There is no free plan, only a 14 day trial without a card, and the plans page describes no evergreen recycling.

   If the inbox is the need and the price is the obstacle, Agorapulse sits between the two: Agorapulse's pricing page lists Standard at $79 per user a month billed annually ($99 billed monthly) with 10 social profiles and the inbox on every plan. The best Hootsuite alternatives lists the rest of that field.

   Pros

   • One inbox for messages on every plan
   • Brand and competitor monitoring from the Standard plan
   • Approval workflows with message routing on Advanced
   • A 14 day trial with no credit card

   Cons

   • No free plan
   • Priced per user: $99 a month each on annual billing
   • Approval workflows start at $399 per user
   • No evergreen recycling on the plans page
10. 10

    Postiz

    Free to self host, hosted from $29 a month

    Best open source SocialBee alternative

    Postiz is the open source route. The Postiz repository is licensed under AGPL 3.0 and showed 37,143 stars on October 13, 2026. You can run the code on your own server for no license fee or pay for Postiz Cloud, the same application hosted for you. It also fills a gap SocialBee names in its own help center: every paid Postiz plan includes a public API and webhooks.

    The Postiz pricing page lists Standard at $29 a month for 5 channels, the same price and count as SocialBee Bootstrap, then Team at $39 for 10, Pro at $49 for 30 and Ultimate at $99 for 100. On annual billing those are $23, $31, $39 and $79 a month. Every plan lists Repeated posts, which republish evergreen content daily, weekly or at a custom interval. At 8 channels Postiz Team is $39 against $44 for SocialBee, and at 25 channels Postiz Pro is $49 against $99 for SocialBee Pro.

    Two things go missing on the way. The Postiz pricing page lists no inbox, where SocialBee answers comments, mentions and DMs on every plan. And repeating is set on a single post, with no categories on a weekly schedule. The trial is 7 days, and there is no free hosted plan.

    Self hosting is free in license terms and costs a server plus, on most networks, a developer app of your own that the network has to approve. Reach is the widest on this page: Telegram and Bluesky sit beside Reddit and Discord among 30 plus destinations. Our list of the best Postiz alternatives covers what self hosting takes in detail.

    Pros

    • Open source under AGPL 3.0 and free to self host
    • Public API and webhooks on every paid plan
    • Repeated posts on every plan
    • 30 channels for $49 a month

    Cons

    • No free hosted plan, and a 7 day trial
    • No inbox on the pricing page
    • Self hosting needs a server and your own developer apps

Sources are the pricing and help pages linked in each entry above. If a Not stated cell decides your choice, ask the vendor before you pay.

Account types differ inside a network. In SocialBee, Facebook groups, personal Facebook profiles and personal Instagram profiles publish by reminder, and most tools here have similar rules, so check your own account type before you move.

SocialBee at $44 a month is $15 more than Spreadcast Pro ($44 minus $29), and Buffer Essentials at $48 is $19 more ($48 minus $29). Metricool Starter and Later Starter are the cheapest queues in this table at $25, and Publer Professional follows at $32. A queue is what each of them is: the price does not include the time you spend making every post, and Spreadcast's $29 includes the post.

• For an App With Nothing to Schedule: Spreadcast

  If you ship an app and the categories are empty, a recycling tool has nothing to recycle. Spreadcast turns each App Store update, 5 star review and rating milestone into a designed post and publishes it on 8 networks for $29 a month flat. The free plan drafts every post, so paste your link at the start page and judge the designs first. Our page for mobile apps shows what they look like.

• For a Free Plan: Buffer

  Three channels, 10 scheduled posts each, an AI Assistant and replies to comments, for $0 with no end date. Past 3 channels you pay $6 for each one. When that adds up, our Buffer roundup lists what to use next.

• For a Lower Price per Account: Publer

  $5 a month for 1 account, $12 for 3 and $20 for 5 on Professional. Move to Business when you want recycling and analytics: $21 for 3 accounts or $35 for 5.

• For Evergreen Recycling From $9: RecurPost

  Libraries that recycle, bulk CSV scheduling and an inbox on every plan. Two accounts are $9 a month and five are $25, with extra accounts at $4 each.

• For One Library and a Whole Team: MeetEdgar

  Edgar gives 25 accounts, unlimited categories and 20 team members for $49.99 a month. Eddie at $29.99 stops at 4 categories, so read the limits before you pick the smaller plan.

• For Analytics and Client Reports: Metricool

  Competitor tracking and 30 days of history for free, then full history and PDF and PPT reports from $25 a month. The best Metricool alternatives covers the rest of that field.

• For More Accounts per Dollar: SocialPilot

  Seven accounts for $30 a month and 15 accounts with 3 users for $50. Analytics and the inbox start on the $50 plan.

• For Instagram and TikTok Planning: Later

  A visual planner, a link in bio page and posting time suggestions from $25 a month. No X and no Bluesky.

• For a Team Inbox and Monitoring: Hootsuite

  One inbox, monitoring and benchmarking from $99 per user a month on annual billing. Agorapulse is the lighter choice at $79 per user on annual billing.

• For Open Source and an API: Postiz

  Free to self host under AGPL 3.0, or $29 a month hosted for 5 channels, with a public API, webhooks and repeated posts on every plan.

1. Step 1

   Ask for a CSV Export Before You Cancel

   SocialBee's article on exporting content says export is not a self serve option. You email hello@socialbee.com with the name of each content category you want and the workspace it sits in, and the team sends the content back as a CSV file. List every category in one message, the paused ones too.

2. Step 2

   Write Down the Schedule and the Rules

   The CSV file holds posts. Take screenshots of the weekly schedule, so you know which category owns which slot, and note each category's settings: requeue or share once, and any expiry by date or share count. SocialBee's changelog says Category Sequence and random categories are being phased out and replaced with your active categories. Those rules are what you rebuild by hand in the next tool.

3. Step 3

   Do Not Disconnect Profiles Yet

   SocialBee's article on disconnecting an account warns that removing a profile deletes its posts and analytics from SocialBee, though nothing already published on the network is touched. To stop posting without losing data, switch the profile to Not Running. Save any reports you need first: Bootstrap shows 3 months of data, and exported reports are listed on Pro.

4. Step 4

   Import the Library Into the New Tool

   Publer's paid plans take up to 500 posts in one CSV file, RecurPost lists bulk CSV scheduling on every plan, and Buffer accepts up to 100 posts per channel in a file on paid plans. Expect to rename columns to match the new tool's template, and to attach video again by hand where a tool imports text and images only.

5. Step 5

   Reconnect Every Profile and Rebuild the Slots

   Connections never move between tools: you sign in to each network again and approve access. Then recreate the time slots. In RecurPost and MeetEdgar a SocialBee category maps to a library or a category with its own slots. In Publer it maps to a labeled time slot, and each post is set to recycle one by one.

6. Step 6

   Run Both for a Week, Then Pause or Cancel

   SocialBee's article on cancelling, pausing and deleting gives two exits at the bottom of Billing Settings. Pause products stops the schedule for 1 to 3 months and keeps everything. Cancel products ends the plan, and the terms of service process it at the end of the billing cycle with no prorated refund. Deleting the account is a separate request by email and removes all posts and schedules for good.

7. Step 7

   Moving to Spreadcast Needs No Import

   Paste your App Store link at the start page, connect the networks you post to and choose one tap approval or full autopilot. The posts come from your listing, so there is no library to carry over. See app update announcement examples for what the first one will look like, and pricing for the plans.
