I've tried a few social posting management solutions, and what I love about Social Bee is that you can tag your post with a category and schedule it by category. It makes it easy to create 30 posts that are "quotations" and put them in an ongoing rotation to post twice a week, for example, and then another category, "case studies" or "launch sequence," and schedule them separately. Then, see them all on a calendar!
I have posts going out several times a week, and I don't have to touch it.
Also easy to integrate RSS feeds into the mix so my podcasts and blog posts are automatically picked up.
Chrome extension makes it easy to quickly do a post at the moment.
Very cool.
Oh, and automation with zapier and pabbly seal the deal. I can create a post that automatically announces when new members join my organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the hashtag collection features need a bit better integration and it took a minute to figure out the framing of categories to posts, but once the lightbulb went off, I was in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've spent the past couple of months trying out most of the social media schedulers out there, searching for the functionalities and automation I need. I'm trying to automate as much as possible, set up very varied categories of content, and then have those publish at specific set times and patterns. I was thrilled to find that SocialBee not only has them all, but they're setup exactly the way my brain thinks about them. It's a giant relief to have come across them.
The support resources for learning the product are excellent, and the team seems super responsive and genuinely interested in bettering the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a solo entrepreneur I was hoping for the pricing to be a bit less, but it's manageable and justifiable. I'm using the mid-tier as I want more platforms.
The service/product UI could use a bit of a refresh visually just for user pleasantness, but it's all very clear and easy to follow.
I think their visual branding could be improved, the web pages come across as a tad bit dated and not as appealing as some competitors. This of course has no bearing on the product itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Our favorite feature of SocialBee is the ability to re-queue our evergreen content. However, the new AI features are quickly gaining our attention and will be used to help us create content specific to each platform. The built-in image editor also speeds up our workflow by not having to go to another platform or use another tool to create customized sizes of images for each platform. When I have had an issue, SocialBee has been quick to respond and resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like to see a different Dashboard upon logging in that would be more helpful to my business needs and goals. Also analytics aren't available for all social meda platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SocialBee stands out for its user-friendly interface and comprehensive suite of tools that streamline social media management. The ability to schedule posts across multiple platforms, analyze performance metrics, and curate content effectively makes it a valuable asset for any social media strategy.

Depending on the plan, some users might feel limited by the number of social profiles they can manage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have only recently signed up with SocialBee, but so far we have found the platform and reporting very user friendly and informative. We only receive the information that is helpful; so far there has been no swamping in our inbox! The reports have helped us to determine when best to post, and has allowed us to plan out according to audience engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far we have not had any issues that we can speak of, we have only been using the platform for a couple of months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that I can organize my posts into categories. Everything is in one place, but structured. Also, I can re-use content, that I once created easily! Such a time-saver!
It was easy to set-up and integrate with my social media accounts, so I didn't need the help of customer support. However, I have participated in a free online workshop which I found super helpful and gave me a bunch of new content ideas!
I find it especially helpful that I can set everything up and then don't have to worry about it - it will just get posted as scheduled, no matter whether I'm sick, on vacation, busy ... Pretty awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't really dislike anything. One thing that I did struggle with a bit is that it took me some time to organize my content into categories. I'm actually still working on it and in the process of figuring out what works best for me and my accounts. I find you can't just start and post - you have to put some thought into it. But then, that's the better strategy for posting on social media anyway :-) And if you have content buckets or something like that set up, then you're pretty much good to go.

1) It's the only Social Media scheduler that fits with how I think about scheduling social media posts.
2) It's the only one I found that offers multiple queues (categories in SocialBee).
3) It makes it easy to cycle through evergreen content (setting the category to requeue a post).
4) The post editor offers both customizations (per Social Media channel) and variations and it will automatically cycle through the variations when it's in an evergreen category.
5) Their customer support is second to none. Very competent, supportive, and generous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The animation on the notifications icon in the header. It distracts me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The convenience of being able to schedule content in one easy-to-use interface. The integrations are well thought out and perform well with my requirements. Finally, the innovations that keep coming from Socialbee's team show me that they are putting effort into continually making the product fresh and improved, which is huge for me. Socialbee has become a tool we use everyday and enjoy it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Althought there is canva integration it only allows for one image and the editor is a little basic, kind of like a Canva lite (at least that's what I experienced the last time I used it). This area could be improved and include video options, however it is a cool feature that I'd like to see more from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The evergreen posting strategy means that mutliple different content types can be scheduled, and populated in bespoke queues to be posted and reused efficiently and effectively, seamlessly managing multiple social media accounts and hundreds of posts.
Not only is scheduling posts easy, but every day, one of posts can be made efficiently, and customised for each social media platform.
Socialbee is in use daily, and without it managing mutliple social media sites would be far more difficult. Integrating and implementing it was easy and it has not failed me once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a few features that are lacking, most notable would be the ability to interrupt scheduled posting, so that an evergreen posting schedule can me maintained, but paused automatically, for a day when an alternate post needs to be scheduled which is not part of that schedule.
Additionally, some posts, can take some time to go live after the publish button is hit, but it is still reasonable considering simultaneous posting across multiple platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Social Bee is an excellent app for managing general social media posts for our different business units! It has significantly saved us time from having to log into various platforms each day. It's more affordable than many other options on the market and is very easy to set up. Highly recommend it for efficient social media management! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish they would stop having the "how to use" pop ups every time you log in. Other than that, it's great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
