We use it for scheduling and managing social media. It is very simple, very straightforward. It's quick and easy to navigate. We had the best experience connecting all our social media accounts in just a few minutes. And the cost is very reasonable. Cons It sometimes disconnects our X account and we need to reconnect it, but it really happens very rarely. Switched from [HubSpot Marketing Hub](https://www.capterra.com/p/171840/HubSpot-Marketing/) This is cheaper and provides the same result. Review Source AW Amy W. Owner, content creator, writer, host Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Bang for your small business buck!" September 21, 2025 4.0 SocialBu is a lifesaver for me as a small business. I have used HootSuite as a professional communications specialist/social manager and didn't realize how astronomical the price is for that platform now. I used ChatGPT to analyze affordable social schedulers and SocialBu was top rated and I have to agree. Thank you for providing a very helpful tool at such a realistic price point. You are helping small businesses everywhere by remaining affordable! Pros SocialBu is a workhorse of a platform and a stellar value for money at its very reasonable price point. It's super easy to use and is especially useful for small businesses and solo creative projects like the podcast I just launched. I am really impressed with all of the platforms it can be paired with as well. Cons The user interface is a little bit clunky and sometimes it takes me a while to find what I am looking for. The menus/navigation is not super intuitive. I forget where different features live and the words used on the menus don't always jog my memory so I end up clicking through everything until I see a screen I recognize as being the one I am looking for. Sometimes accounts randomly become disconnected and don't seem to be able to be reconnected without deleting them from SocialBu and re-adding. Alternatives considered [SocialBee](https://www.capterra.com/p/210359/SocialBee/) Reason for choosing SocialBu ChatGPT said SocialBu had better ratings and was an easier UI to figure out for time saving purposes. Switched from [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) I had used HootSuite as a professional when my employer paid for it back in 2019-2022. Had no idea how expensive they got so it was a no-go for me as a new small business. Review Source Zoe J. Senior Marketing Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good for what it is " January 9, 2023 3.0 Pros It's better than other tools for LinkedIn, but there are some additional LinkedIn features it could benefit from e.g. selecting the image preview for links, tagging - I know some of these features are being worked on and it would be good to see them come to fruition.Scheduling twitter threads is also a great feature on socialbu.It's a good tool for how relatively inexpensive it is. There is also has a mass uploader if you're looking for an easy way to schedule lots of content. Cons The jump between the super to supreme plan is huge for a small marketing agency; I've been asked to leave a review in order to get more accounts added to our plan.We originally got socialbu to publish IG stories, but this no longer works and the non-direct Instagram connections keep breaking so we've had to connect them directly.For our client accounts which are led by Instagram/Tiktok, we prefer Later as it's more visual.

Have a limited number of posts that we have done so fa. Pros Ease of creating and working together on posts AI generation of post images works really well Post scheduling perfect Cons Real need to allow admins to post to waiting approval so that other admins can approve -we have to do this outside the system right now Really needs a linkedin to twitter converter built in Alternatives considered [Buzzsprout](https://www.capterra.com/p/160459/Buzzsprout/) Reason for choosing SocialBu user experience - checked all the trials out Review Source SD Shaun D. Producer Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Service, Excellent Price, Solid Roadmap!" June 12, 2025 5.0 Overall, I am quite satisfied with SocialBu. The cost to benefit ratio is fairly balanced, and their constantly updating platform means many of the features you might want right now are likely to appear in the future. Their customer service is quick to respond and help find solutions to bugs and solutions. Disclaimer: Back in 2023, I was forced to move my social media activity to another platform when the SMMS I had been using cut support for the primary platform I was using at the time. While searching for a suitable alternative, a SocialBu rep reached out to ask questions about what I needed, present some of SocialBu's features, and offer a one-time discount to try it out. I've stuck with them ever since! Pros 1) Customer service. They're generally quick to respond to address bugs and problems you're having with your account. They'll also follow-up to make sure the issue didn't crop up again. That takes top marks in my book. 2) For what you pay, you get quite a lot of features and options. 3) If what you need is a system that can schedule to multiple accounts with the option to customize for each account, this does precisely that. It also has a solid queue system to make it easier to schedule content for high-performance users. 4) Most of the features are fairly easy to use, including the browser extension. Once you understand what SocialBu can do, it's pretty easy. 5) It works as described pretty much all of the time. I can't recall if the system ever went down in the 2+ years I've used it. 6) The roadmap is solid and the community requests section nets meaningful results. Smaller features are likely to happen pretty quickly. More complicated ones might take a few months. But if the community wants it, they'll get it done. Cons 1) It isn't as feature rich as some of its competitors, but it's also half the price of some of its competitors. This is not a problem for me as an individual user who manages social media for a podcast as a hobby. I don't know if it would affect folks who need this system as a business solution, so do your own research. 2) The app, in my opinion, still needs a little work to iron out the kinks. It works, and it's fine, but it's not quite as smooth as it could be. Switched from [SmarterQueue](https://www.capterra.com/p/187198/Smarterqueue/) At the time, SmarterQueue had cut support for Twitter, which was the primary platform for my podcast. I needed to replace SQ's features with something comparable. While SocialBu works a little differently than SQ (it's Queue system isn't quite as intuitive and quick to set up), it does what I needed it to do. The initial setup might have taken longer than it did with SQ, but once it was set up, SocialBu worked. Beyond that, I honestly can't complain. Its other features are solid, and I don't know that I'd go back to SmarterQueue at this stage even if Twitter isn't a platform I need anymore. Review Source Response from Glaxosoft June 19, 2025 Thank you for your detailed review. Glad to know you like it. AM Allie M. Novelist Publishing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "This is your best option for social media scheduling!" March 19, 2025 5.0 I've only been with SocialBu for a week, but seriously, I was only on it for 10 minutes when I knew it was the right place for me.. and believe me, I've tried lots of them! Within an hour I'd built my queues and left my old social media scheduling platform. I haven't had any issues at all. Also, I want to give a shout-out to their customer service, who when had had an issue with needing more queues, got back to me immediately and we worked out a plan!! VERY interactive and helpful! Pros I like the queues, with evergreen content... so easy! It only took minutes to set up, and I didn't even need to watch any tutorial videos! I was able to just dive right in! Cons I have to be honest. So far, I haven't found anything not to like. In the interests of transparency, though, I should note I am an individual, not a business, and won't ever be using any of the more advanced features Alternatives considered [SmarterQueue](https://www.capterra.com/p/187198/Smarterqueue/) Reason for choosing SocialBu SocialBu had BlueSky, plus, it was strongly recommended to me, by a book promoter/marketer who uses it on a professional level. Switched from [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) They changed their plan to professional only, at the end of this month. My book promoter suggested SocialBu, and I tried it, and was instantly hooked! I'm actually glad HootSuite is moving to professional, because I wouldn't have gone looking otherwise, and found SocialBu!

Owner Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "PURCHASE SOCIALBU and You will thank yourself." August 21, 2025 5.0 The best tool I have used as of the moment! Best in pricing, unlimited posting, easy posting process and trustworthy management. Pros The pricing and the unlimited posting are great features of SocialBU. Ease of use is also great! This is definitely great for social media management and allows team collaboration! Cons I love SocialBU. They also have great support for roadmaps. I hope they just lower down the cost in the future when there are more subscribers. Alternatives considered [Planable](https://www.capterra.com/p/171744/Planable/) Reason for choosing SocialBu SocialBU is lower in price and offers unlimited posting and has 30 social media channels unlike others that are only 10 or lower. Switched from [Planable](https://www.capterra.com/p/171744/Planable/) Pricing is higher and offers no unlimited posting for mid-account tier (Pro). Review Source SH Samantha H. Owner, Website Developer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Creative ways to use Queues!" December 13, 2024 5.0 I needed something that didn't have all the extra features. I needed a simple platform where I could bulk upload, schedule, and monitor. SocialBu gave me exactly that. I greatly appreciated the overall visual simplicity of the platform (not a lot of colors, straightforward buttons), while being powerful enough to do exactly what I needed to do schedule, maintain, and monitor social content. Pros Before I came to SocialBu, I looked through several platforms like Zoho, HootSuite, Loomly, and more. What sold me on Socialbu was their visually straightforward platform - the other platforms were overwhelming and had a lot of tools I just did not need. I highly recommend SocialBu to small marketing agencies that don't need the bells and whistle, and small businesses that need a straightforward and easy to manage platform. SocialBu made it incredibly easy for me to stick to my marketing strategy without having to navigate through unnecessary tools and resources that clogged up the screen. My 3 favorite features were: (1) Queue Scheduling. When I write up marketing strategies, I publish by day of the week - I used the Queues to my advantage. Labeling each Queue out as a seperate day to maximize my marketing strategy. This allows me to maintain my type A personality, while also having social content neatly organized in a list view. (They have calendar views, also, but I preferred the list view). (2) Bulk uploads - bulk uploading made my job SO much easier. I used their handy "how to" videos to figure out the best way to bulk upload. It was an absolute breeze. (3) The simplicity of the platform. I greatly appreciate that there aren't tons of colors, buttons, and navigations. It is a simplistic, incredibly easy to use, and straight forward platform. Cons Honestly, nothing. It was the perfect platform to manage and maintain my social content for multiple brands. Alternatives considered [Loomly](https://www.capterra.com/p/166498/Loomly/) Reason for choosing SocialBu Honestly this came down to two things - pricing per Queue, and the dashboard look and feel. Switched from [Zoho Social](https://www.capterra.com/p/159351/Zoho-Social/) I didn't need to super fancy dashboard. It became overwhelming. I wanted simple and to the point, and that is what SocialBu offered. Review Source Response from Glaxosoft December 27, 2024 Thank you for your detailed feedback. Dr Oliver J. Founder Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Great Social Media Management Platform" February 23, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with SocialBu has been largely positive. The platform's responsive customer support has been a standout feature, ensuring that any issues I encounter are promptly addressed. I appreciate the ability to manage a large number of accounts, which is a huge plus for anyone handling multiple social media profiles. The ability to set up queued posts is another impressive feature that helps streamline the content scheduling process. Pros Responsive customer support, Ability to manage a large number of accounts, Ability to set up queued posts. Cons Slightly too many features - would be better off focusing on features that are more used and removing the others. Review Source VȘ Viviana Ș. editorial secretary Media Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SocialBu Review" September 22, 2025 4.0 Pros It's a very useful planner. It helps me every day to plan social media posts for multiple accounts and shorten my time with these tasks at my job. It's easy to use and has a good price. Cons I have nothing to complain about the app so far. Maybe just the fact that my Instagram account disconnects from the app from time to time and I have to reconnect. Review Source AF Anna F. Youth Program Administrator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple & Easy to Use (Don't need bells & whistles)" September 28, 2020 5.0 We are a small non-profit and got SocialBu as a lifetime deal. We are happy with its functionality, its ability to post to LinkedIn, which we are growing. We have several users and they all have been able to use SocialBu without much of a learning curve. Which is good, because we all wear many hats and have lots to do. Pros What I like most about SocialBu is that it is straight to the point with navigation and interface. I don't need 100 menus, I need something to WORK! Cons The way teams work, is a little confusing, but once I got the hang of realizing who was doing what, I had no problems. Alternatives considered [Amplifr](https://www.capterra.com/p/146353/Amplifr/)[Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Reason for choosing SocialBu I felt SocialBu was the simplest choice and the price was really great for our small nonprofit budget. Review Source Response from Glaxosoft September 30, 2020 Thanks a lot for your feedback. It means a lot to us. RB Ryan B. Admin Online Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Support & Huge Time-Saver!" May 9, 2025 5.0 SocialBu has been an incredible tool for streamlining my social media workflow. As someone managing multiple accounts, the platform saves me significant time by allowing bulk scheduling instead of manual posting. Their support team is responsive and helpful, guiding me through any issues and clarifying subscription limits. The insights on performance and scheduling are valuable, making it easier to optimize content. Pros SocialBu has been incredibly helpful in resolving the issues I’ve encountered, providing clear guidance on where to go and valuable insights about my subscriptions and limitations. This platform is a true time-saver, especially for managing multiple social media accounts—no more posting one by one! Highly recommend for anyone juggling several profiles Cons Occasional delays in auto-posting, and analytics could be more detailed—but support is quick to assist!

I can now make the post in few clicks. Pros Too easy to connect and schedule post on different social media at once. Cons no cons so far, you just have to make the payment every month which is not big of a deal for what they offer in exchange. Alternatives considered [SocialBee](https://www.capterra.com/p/210359/SocialBee/) Reason for choosing SocialBu Other alternatives was too expensive for me. Review Source Response from Glaxosoft January 3, 2025 Thank you for your honest feedback VR Verified Reviewer Developer Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Socialbu is a great to schedule social media posts via your own CMS" November 7, 2023 4.0 Pros Socialbu's integration with our content management system via webhooks allows our editors to share content on social media from a single dashboard. Cons Twitter integration for scheduling media may be better. Switched from [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Using webhooks were the main thing for us. Review Source Response from Glaxosoft November 10, 2023 Thank you for your feedback. Looking forward to making SocialBu even better! KC Kate C. Social Media Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "SocialBu Review from Socials Manager Kate" September 22, 2020 4.0 Pros The major factors that drew me towards use of SocialBu over other social media management/automation platforms are the features that SocialBu offers, which others don’t. This includes SocialBu’s ability to post stories automatically (no notification needed), to post video and carousel post, and their automation feature “if (this) than perform (that) action”. All of these features has made my life as a social media manager easier, and the content management for each of my clients more consistent, more reliable and more professional. Many of these features ensure we are able to make full utilisation of any social platform’s range of tactics, which has resulting in growth of sales and brand awareness as a result! Cons There are a few minor features I disliked about SocialBu. The process to add a new account seemed clunky - and this action was actually impossible to perform on the Chrome browser. Additionally, upload time of content can be slow, and bulk upload of content isn’t an option (at least for stories) - which means the process can be a little more tedious. Reason for choosing SocialBu Better value subscription prices. Review Source Response from Glaxosoft September 28, 2020 Thanks a lot for your feedback. It means a lot.

Marketing Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great software - easy, affordable, and responsive CS" September 24, 2020 5.0 One of the most important factors to me is the responsiveness of customer service representatives. A few glitches, kinks, and cons are always going to be around no matter what software, those are understandable. But if you have great CS, that's what keeps the customers loyal and I'm happy that SocialBu's team answers my questions in a timely manner. Pros It was really easy to connect SocialBu with the social media channels I help manage. What drew me to trying it out was the ability to schedule Instagram Stories, everything else was a great bonus. Cons The software is great and the team behind it are very helpful, what I wish they would change is the ability to tag accounts on Instagram Stories using the Starter Plan. It will greatly help small businesses/firms like ours a great deal of time. Because I can't tag users/hashtags/etc, I need to manually post the stories that need tagging (which defeats the purpose of what drew me to the software). Other than that, I'm happy with it Reason for choosing SocialBu SocialBu has more features at a more affordable price Review Source Response from Glaxosoft September 28, 2020 You can add hashtag, mention, or location to stories starting with the Standard plan. Thanks a lot for your feedback. It meant a lot. SM Stéphane M. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The go-to guys for my automated posting to Instagram" September 24, 2020 5.0 Support is stellar, period. Regarding my integration need mentioned above, it was like having friends trying to help me out and that was an awesome experience. Besides that everytime I ask a question I receive a fully detailed answer that clears everything up. So valuable to me. Finally, during one of those conversations, I just found out about some of the technical things they are able to do ... and they don't even let people know about it. Pros SocialBu fulfills my need to automate posting on Instagram from an RSS feed. That's not a so common feature when browsing the competitors. It is reliable and works as clockwork. I had some specific need regarding integration and the support has been more than helpful to help me make it work. Actually I doubt I could have done it without them. Cons I would suggest that the queue (the place where the posts are stored before being published) be a little bit more flexible, meaning having the ability to edit the posts (those coming come from the RSS feed) before publishing or being able to change manually the order of the posts.

It helps a lot in offering sales and discount schedules for pages and saves a lot of my time. It is a great app for small businesses.

Pros Quickly Schedule posts for multiple users on multiple social media sites. Cons You can't post an image without putting something in the content field. I usually just put a period.

Pros They are super accommodating and also very fast to reply. I can't applaud their customer service enough. I have never had difficulty getting a reply or understanding their help team. Bravo! It's also easy to use, saves time and streamlines social media management. Thank you! Cons I wish that I could post gifs and other similar items directly from the publish page.

It by far offers the most features for the money. Pros Socialbu was extremely easy to implement including set-up of corporate social media accounts, users and teams. The interface to monitor feedback and provide responses to people that engage is easy and intuitive.
