Head to head
SocialBee vs X Pro

- From
- $24.17a month, billed yearly
- Free scheduling
- No
X Pro
X Pro is X's multi-column workspace for monitoring timelines and searches while managing publishing. Legacy Premium+ explicitly includes it; the new X Subscription maps eligible personal accounts to full Premium+ benefits, so verify the subscription family and intended account before paying.
- From
- Subscription eligibility requires confirmation
- Free scheduling
- No
Bottom line
X Pro is the pick for people who regularly monitor several X timelines and searches. SocialBee fits teams organizing recurring posts into categories better, and it reaches Instagram and Facebook among others, which X Pro doesn't.
A verified price comparison requires the same billing term, currency and eligible workload. See each pricing section for the published terms.

- 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.
X Pro
Legacy US web Premium+
US$40 monthly or US$395 annually
- Legacy X help explicitly includes Pro in Premium+
- Confirm the existing account's renewal amount and access
The X Subscription Premium
$30 monthly or $300 annually; currency unconfirmed
- New Premium includes full Premium+ benefits for eligible connected personal accounts
- Pro access follows from the documented benefit mapping; account access has not been tested
- Organization-managed and affiliate accounts cannot use this personal-account connection route
- Pro is bundled with subscription benefits. Legacy Premium and new Premium are different packages; the plan name alone does not establish Pro access.
- Legacy US web Premium+ lists US$40 monthly or US$395 annually. The new Premium document displays $30 monthly or $300 annually before sales tax without explicitly naming the currency.
- Within the legacy US option, twelve monthly payments total US$480 versus US$395 annually. Within the new displayed-dollar option, twelve monthly payments total $360 versus $300 annually. Confirm currency and eligibility before comparing the two options.
- Existing subscribers may keep their current plan; the official overview says a completed switch is permanent. Confirm renewal and refund treatment, including any store-billed subscription.
- The new subscription excludes organization-managed and affiliate accounts from personal-account connection. It should not be purchased on the assumption that it will unlock a client's managed account.
