What is SocialPilot?

SocialPilot is a social media management tool that helps agencies and businesses schedule posts, manage conversations, analyze results and handle client work from one dashboard. It offers a content calendar, bulk scheduling of hundreds of posts, an AI assistant called AI Pilot, and client approvals. Pricing is lower than many agency-focused rivals, which is a big part of its appeal. SocialPilot Technologies Inc. runs the product.

SocialPilot publishes to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, YouTube, Pinterest and Google Business Profile. Higher plans add a social inbox, team collaboration, white-label reports, advanced security and a dedicated account manager. It also includes review management for collecting and replying to reviews, plus a browser extension, mobile app, MCP server and API access on Enterprise.
