- Plans are chosen by how many social profiles you connect, from 5 on Bootstrap up to 150 on the top agency tier. The price isn't multiplied per profile; it steps up with the band you land in.
- 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.
