How prices are calculated
USD, billed monthly, before taxes. If a selected network is not supported, that product has no price for the full mix. YouTube comparisons cover Shorts; other post types depend on each product. LinkedIn profiles and pages each count as social accounts.
The estimate picks the cheapest SocialBee plan plus capacity add-ons for one workspace and one or two users. Bootstrap is $29 for five social accounts, Accelerate $49 for ten, and Pro $99 for 25. Agency tiers are also considered.
Five extra social accounts cost $15/month; an extra user costs $10/month. Extra workspaces cost $10/month and are not modeled here. Adding capacity does not unlock features from higher plans.
SocialBee offers mobile reminders through Universal Posting for networks outside its direct integrations. Those manual workflows are excluded from the full-mix price. Publishing modes also depend on profile type and format.
The estimate picks the cheapest monthly plan plus social account and user add-ons. Starter is $9 with two social accounts, Personal $25 with five, and Agency $79 with 20. An extra social account costs $4/month; an extra user costs $20/month on any plan.
Starter and Personal include one user; Agency includes three. This matches access for one or two people, not client approval requirements. Client workspaces, approvals and white-label reports require Agency. Starter allows ten daily posts per social account, Personal 20 and Agency 80.
Usage charges are excluded: RecurPost lists $0.20 per X post containing a link, funded through its X Wallet. Additional AI, RSS and storage usage can also cost extra. This is a base subscription estimate, not a quote for your posting volume.
Socials includes one TryPost workspace; Workspaces includes unlimited workspaces. Other features and publishing limits differ. Shared team access alone does not make the products equivalent.

SocialBee vs RecurPost: common questions
What is the main difference between SocialBee and RecurPost?
SocialBee builds recurring schedules around content categories. RecurPost uses recurring libraries, with variations and seasonal libraries on Personal and above. Both can recycle evergreen posts and help write with AI. Compare how you organize a week of posts, then check the plan limits for your social accounts and team.
Is RecurPost cheaper than SocialBee?
For two social accounts and one user, RecurPost Starter is $9/month and SocialBee Bootstrap is $29/month. Extra capacity changes the comparison: RecurPost adds $4 per social account, while SocialBee sells five extra social accounts for $15. The calculator includes add-ons and picks the cheapest plan for the selected capacity, so it does not assume an upgrade is always necessary.
Do I need a higher plan to invite a teammate?
Both competitors allow user add-ons. SocialBee charges $10/month per extra user and RecurPost $20/month. That can cost less than upgrading for two people. Features such as client approvals still depend on the plan. TryPost includes unlimited members on both plans, with shared access and workspace roles.
Can I schedule posts with an AI assistant?
TryPost and RecurPost both offer MCP access for AI assistants to schedule and publish. SocialBee includes its own AI writing and image tools, but MCP is not listed in its public plans. AI access alone is not a reason to switch; compare the supported actions and your publishing process.
Does the calculator include every possible charge?
No. It compares monthly subscriptions and the social account and user add-ons needed for your selection. Extra workspaces and usage charges are excluded. RecurPost lists an additional charge for X posts containing links; AI, RSS and storage usage may also add costs. SocialBee offers manual mobile reminders for networks outside its direct integrations, which are excluded from the full-mix estimate.
When should I consider TryPost instead?
Consider TryPost when connecting more social accounts and inviting teammates matters more than maintaining an automatic evergreen library. Socials is $19/month for one workspace; Workspaces is $99/month for unlimited workspaces. Both include unlimited social accounts and members, starting at $1 for the first month. A small RecurPost setup can cost less.
