- Annual billing doesn't lower the per-month rate at list price: the yearly plan is twelve times the monthly one (Bootstrap $348/yr, Accelerate $588/yr, Pro $1,188/yr).

- ConciergeBee is SocialBee's separate done-for-you service (managed posting, strategy, ad management) and is billed apart from these software plans.
- Prices are USD list, read off the live pricing page and its plan-comparison table; the agency tiers were cross-checked against the page's Agency view and current third-party listings.
