- $7.5 /mo
- Free plan
SocialBee is built around content categories: you sort posts into buckets and it cycles through them on a schedule, recycling the evergreen ones so the queue keeps going without you refilling it by hand. Plans are set by how many social profiles you connect, from $29 a month for five up to the agency tiers, with no permanent free plan, just a 14-day trial.

Bottom line
RecurPost is the pick for solos and small businesses who want evergreen recycling cheaply, and it's the only one of the two with a free plan. SocialBee fits solopreneurs and small businesses who want a recycling content queue better, and it reaches Mastodon and Telegram, which RecurPost doesn't.
RecurPost starts cheaper, $7.5 a month against $29 per month for SocialBee. They bill on different units, so the real gap depends on how much you run. SocialBee adds social inbox that RecurPost leaves out.

- 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). The discounts come from frequent promotions; a 50%-off birthday sale (code SBDAY2026) was live when this was checked, ending June 10, 2026.

- 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.
