- It previously offered self-serve Small Business and Agency plans (around $49 and $79 a month); those are legacy and no longer the focus.
- Social media management is one part of a wider local-marketing suite that also covers reviews, listings, local SEO, and a large customizable content and template library.
- There's no free plan, only a 14-day trial.
- Prices are USD; PromoRepublic doesn't publish a fixed price ladder, so the plans are quote-only here.
