What is SocialBee?
SocialBee is a social media management tool that organizes posts into content categories, then publishes and recycles them on a repeating schedule. You might create categories for tips, promotions and blog posts, assign each a time slot, and let SocialBee fill the calendar. Its AI Copilot can suggest a strategy, recommend networks and write captions, images and hashtags.
SocialBee posts to Facebook, Instagram, Threads, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, Google Business Profile and Bluesky, with universal posting through the mobile app for other networks. It also includes an engagement inbox, analytics with PDF reports, and agency plans with up to 150 profiles. SocialBee launched in 2016 and became part of WebPros in 2024.
