Account Executive Venture Capital & Private Equity Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great platform for social media posts scheduling" May 12, 2026 5.0 Pros SocialBu is a great platform and it fits all our needs. 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 GM Gaurav M. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Agency-grade social media management at a fraction of the price" July 9, 2026 5.0 As a marketing agency handling social media for multiple clients, we needed a tool that could juggle several brands without enterprise pricing. SocialBu has been exactly that. We schedule and plan content for all client accounts from one calendar, and the team collaboration features (drafts, approvals) keep everyone aligned before anything goes live. Pros The value for money is unbeatable, we get multi-account management, a clean scheduling calendar, and team workflows for less than what competitors charge for a single brand. Connecting client accounts takes minutes, switching between them is effortless, and the approval flow means clients sign off on posts without endless email threads. It's saved our team hours every week. Cons Nothing significant so far, it does everything we need at this price point. Would love slightly deeper analytics for client reporting, but the core scheduling features more than make up for it. 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. 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.

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 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!

Straightforward. Solid. " September 18, 2025 4.0 Really enjoying the visual scheduler and calendar functionality, that's the greatest boon for the service. I've tried many of these tools in the past and SocialBu does seem to cut a lot of the extraneous chaff that you often get and just focus on the basics, which is very welcome. Pros Really enjoying using SocialBu after trying a huge number of similar tools in my time. The visual scheduler is especially valuable, along with the ability to add multiple profiles quickly and simply. Cons I haven't stretched the tool to any great lengths, but I did have some issues in setting up Bluesky integrations. Some clearer tutorials would be helpful.

Have a limited number of posts that we have done so fa.

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 AY Ama Y. Marketing Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Rising Star Social Scheduler" November 18, 2020 5.0 Setup was fairly easy. Learning the platform was as well. It schedules my posts on time, and they look good. I am really enjoying growing with Socialbu Pros I love the IG story posting functionality, and private access to teams. Plus it is an affordable option. Their customer service is unmatched, they are quick to reply and are very helpful. They are always rolling out new features. Cons Response time, automations don’t always work.

Pros Easy to use, and can schedule stories and posts. Also schedules to linkedin which some competitors do not allow Cons Can't schedule posting dates in drafts which means you never know when a post is supposed to go up. Also, analytics are lacking. Would like to see Hootsuite level analytics. Reason for choosing SocialBu Socialbu allowed posting to linkedin and stories posting Switched from [Later Social](https://www.capterra.com/p/152254/Later/) Because Later didn't allow posting to linkedin Review Source Response from Glaxosoft September 24, 2020 Thanks a lot for your feedback.

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 BP Biraj P.

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.

I have yet to find the perfect social scheduler, but this one has so many positives plus fantastic customer service. Pros SocialBu was simple to learn and continues to offer more services too! Cons Some features are tedious to learn to use and have proven to not be helpful in my workflow. But, I can see how they could be for others. Reason for choosing SocialBu The ability to schedule posts to stories Review Source Response from Glaxosoft October 21, 2021 Thanks a lot for your feedback. Looking forward to making it better for you! MS Michael S. Software Developer Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good software, great support " September 22, 2020 5.0 Overall it has been worth it and I plan on continuing using it. Pros Socialbu allows you to post to different social media accounts via a few different fully automate-able methods (such as via RSS feed). Once setup correctly, the software works reliably. The customer support is great and you can usually expect an email back within a few hours. Cons I wish there was a feature to automatically publish content to Instagram Stories and I sometimes have the issue of having content published on a queue that has previously been published, regardless of the fact that I set the publish limit to once per post. This only ever happened though when my automation did not go through to add posts to a queue, which led to there being no more post content, which then resulted in the queue recycling content I’ve previously posted.

President E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The only social media scheduling tool I feel good about recommending" February 5, 2021 5.0 I've exhausted all of my options, researched every comparable tool, and I come back to SocialBu every time. There's no such thing as a perfect tool (yet) but these guys may be the first to get there. Amazing. Pros The paywall is actually fair. The features rival those of much more expensive competitors (4x the cost at least). It offers "Stories" posting which really sets it apart. The customer service is phenomenal and responsive. Cons No Pinterest support, no ability to post media to two services at once with varying text for each. This would be an excellent upgrade. Reason for choosing SocialBu Cost, feature set, customer support. Review Source Response from Glaxosoft February 9, 2021 Thank you for your feedback. This means a lot.
