- Annual list bills are USD290/490/990 for Bootstrap/Accelerate/Pro and USD1,790/3,290/4,490 for Pro50/Pro100/Pro150. Monthly equivalents are annual totals divided by twelve; no expired promotion is included.
- Extra five-profile bundles cost USD15/month or USD150/year; extra users and workspaces each cost USD10/month or USD100/year.
- USD list prices from official pricing and plan documentation. User allowances are per workspace, not necessarily a single organization-wide seat total.
- ConciergeBee is SocialBee's separate done-for-you service (managed posting, strategy, ad management) and is billed apart from these software plans.
