Verdict

SocialBu offers publishing across twelve networks, with inbox, listening, approvals and automation on Growth and Agency. Its current paid lineup is Starter, Growth and Agency, and API/MCP access is documented.

Shortlist SocialBu for combined publishing and workflow automation, but confirm the exact subscription offer first. Its official pricing and app-configuration help disagree on annual totals, Starter account capacity and the meaning of unlimited Agency posts. Distinguish team containers from team-member seats. Growth is the documented entry point for collaboration, inbox and listening; Starter is a publishing-focused plan.

Pros and cons

The good

  • Twelve supported social networks
  • API and MCP on paid plans
  • RSS/webhook automation on Growth and Agency
  • Limited free entry allowance of ten lifetime posts

The catch

  • Official annual pricing and some limits conflict
  • Starter lacks team collaboration, inbox and listening
  • Automation, AI and listening allowances vary by plan
