- Optional SSO, dedicated customer success, white label (from $790/mo with it)
- Flat, quota-bundled tiers: each of the five plans includes a fixed number of users (each user is also a separate calendar) and social profiles, and you move up a plan as you outgrow the quota rather than buying seats or profiles one at a time.
- You can also add a bundle of extra users and profiles without changing plan. On Creator a bundle is one more user and six more profiles for an extra $29 a month, taking the total to $58; the bundle size and price vary by plan.
- White labelling (your own branded dashboard and domain) is a paid add-on on Advanced and Enterprise. With it, Advanced starts at $315 a month and Enterprise at $790.
- There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial; no card to start, and you add one to keep going at the end.
- Annual billing is a flat 15% off, shown on the page as a 'save $X a year' figure, so Creator works out to about $25 a month, Scale to $170, and Enterprise to $638. Nonprofits get 15% off monthly or 25% off annual.
- Prices are USD read off the live pricing page, which renders client-side and defaults to USD with a currency selector (it does not geo-price to local currency). Monthly and annual figures were read by toggling the billing switch and cross-checked against current third-party 2026 listings.

- No permanent free plan. There's a 14-day free trial of the Pro plan, no card required.
- 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.
- Add-ons stack on top of any plan: extra profiles are $15/mo per 5, extra users $10/mo each ($100/yr), and extra workspaces $10/mo each.
- 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.
