SocialBee
Evergreen-recycling specialist from Romania (WebPros-owned): content categories, post variations and an AI "Copilot" that builds the whole schedule; broad network coverage, but no API and no MCP.
How we testSocialBee (Cluj-Napoca, founded 2016, acquired by WebPros, the cPanel/Plesk group, in August 2024) is the tool for teams that want a content engine rather than a calendar: posts live in categories, evergreen items re-queue automatically with variations, and the AI Copilot generates a full posting strategy including timings. Coverage is wide (Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn profiles and Company Pages, Threads, YouTube, Pinterest, Bluesky and Google Business Profile), with an engagement inbox, approvals with comments from the Accelerate plan, UTM builder and PDF reports.
Pricing is USD (no GBP/EUR seen): Bootstrap $29 monthly / $24.20 annual for 5 profiles and 1 user, Accelerate $49 / $41.80 for 10 profiles with approvals, Pro $99 / $82.50 for 25 profiles, 3 users and 5 workspaces, then agency tiers to 150 profiles; 14-day trial, no free plan. There is no public API ("long-term roadmap, no timeline"), no MCP server, no competitor analysis and no white-label. Zapier and Make are the workaround. The Trustpilot profile that matters is socialbee.io (3.8/5, 57 reviews; socialbee.com is empty): named support staff get praise, posting failures, no-refund renewals and a hard-to-cancel trial get the one-stars.
