Social Bee isn't the prettiest UI but it gets the job done well
I've used Social Bee for years now. I was an early adopter and I'm impressed with their progress. I'm a happy user of the tool and I would recommend it to others to use to manage their social media presence.
PROSI love that Social Bee actually helps you get the job done. It does what it claims to do and it does it well. It's affordable compared to some alternatives which is a huge bonus. They even have a mobile app now. Since I began using Social Bee I have seen the developers ship so many improvements, it's been really great to see. There's now integrations with most of the main social media platforms as well as integrations like Canva and other content creation tools. The analytics and reporting features are excellent. I think it's a great tool for anyone managing social media profiles, particularly social media managers who run client profiles.
CONSThe only thing I have to say about Social Bee that I don't really love is the UI, it's not the prettiest tool available but it works and gets the job done. I think if they worked on the UI this tool would be way more popular than it is now.
Reason for choosing SocialBee
One factor was price. Also by now I'm used to Social Bee so I figured I'd just stick with it.
Reasons for switching to SocialBee
I changed because Crowdfire changed some of their features and got rid of some of my favorites. Also I got a good deal on Social Bee which made it an offer I couldn't refuse. I'm not sad I made the change.
Vendor Response

Great tool for Automated social media posting!
Love Social Bee for making a bunch of posts before hand and having them automatically sent out to all my platforms. It really works with all the platforms I need and gives me a good amount of accounts I can use at one time.
PROSI love that it posts to social media automatically and I can make a lot of different posts and stagger them. I can also have it auto post from an integration with Pocket to show my audience interesting articles and other websites. I got it on an appsumo deal so I have an account and never have to pay monthly!
CONSSetting up pinterest is kind of a pain in the butt as they don't have their own integration you have to use hootsuite free account and integrate through that. Though it works well when you get it set up. Also having to re-connect integrations can be a pain in the butt, though this is from the social media platform side not a social bee issue.
Reason for choosing SocialBee
Like I said before I got it as a lifetime deal from Appsumo. I do have to use a free hootsuite account to integrate with pinterest, but there is no reason to use hootsuite other than that now.
Reasons for switching to SocialBee
I got Social Bee on a lifetime deal with more features than hootsuite so it was a no brainer!

Thank you so much for your review, Josh! Much appreciated.

Could be amazing but needs some fixes
Even though it is a great program, there are major flaws they need to figure out.
PROSWhat I love about socialbee is it has content categories. Many other schedulers don't categorize by content. Through the years there are more integrations and collaborations happening with it. Of course it is web-based which has its own pros and cons. I like the fact that you can start a post in bulk and then customize for each social media platform.
CONSWhen I go to write a post, once I have put a photo on, the link, as well as the tags then the whole program slows down like we are back in the 90s on dial up. This means to fully complete one post it can take up to 45 minutes, even on a fast computer. This has put me off using it almost completely and demotivates me from keeping my posts new.

Best social media scheduling tool
SocialBee is a great social media scheduling tool. It supports all leading networks like Facebook (pages and groups), LinkedIn (Profiles and pages), Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram to schedule and monitor content. Automated content recycling is another feature. It can re-publish content on connected profiles indefinite times.
PROSSocialBee is my favorite tool for social media marketing. It helps me to automatically publish content on social sites at a scheduled time. The content can be organized across different categories so as to locate them easily at a later time. It also offers Twitter management feature to find new potential followers and detect unfollowers easily.
CONSThey don't have a built-in Pinterest integration. But we can schedule content on Pinterest through Hootsuite. I contacted SocialBee support and they told me that it will directly connect to Pinterest very soon.
Reason for choosing SocialBee
SocialBee is affordable and offers more features like content categories, Twitter management, recycling, etc.

Thank you for your review! We appreciate it.

Great for recurring content and consistent visibility
I love how I’m able to schedule recurring content for my social media platforms easily. By adding the posts to different categories I maintain complete control over what goes out when and can easily remove content that is no longer relevant
CONSNo option to schedule first comments on Facebook and LinkedIn despite competitors (Smarterqueue and RecurPost) offering this
Reason for choosing SocialBee
Cost and features of comparable plan

Solid and stable platform
Overall the experince has been good to be honest but they still need to work. They have achieved the technicall stability but still to incorporate innovate features also using Ai which is the future I guess.
PROSI really love the way the product has been designed. I didn't experience any bug, integration was smooth, scheduling and publishing is superb.
CONSThe UI should me more intuitive, content management isn't that updated like other software's in the market. Need some good AI for putting the publishing on steroid.
Reason for choosing SocialBee

Great for scheduling posts and saving time
Excellent experience and a good stable piece of software.
PROSSocialBee is great and saves me a lot of time scheduling posts for the different social media platforms. I love the fact that I can can make amends to each post to suit each platform after I have written the main masterpost (e.g best practice is a maximum of 3 hashtags in LinkedIn so I would remove some for that post) and also store my common or used hashtags that add them to the post with just the click of a button.
CONSNothing really yet - it does all that I need it to and I know I have not used all the features yet.
Reasons for switching to SocialBee
Limited feature set and rising prices on pro

Social Media management easier than ever
The UI/UX is really nice, clean, and intuitive which I am a big fan of. The whole product is buttoned up really nice as it shows me the company really cares about its customers.
PROSAbility to manage all social accounts from one place. Also the ability to reuse content again to maximize the value of each social post.
CONSWhen I first started was a bit of a learning curve, but that is most software, I am still discovering new features 1 year later that I didn't catch right away.
Reason for choosing SocialBee
Hootsuite was quite expensive and much more complicated to use. I think they had too many features which had me a bit lost inside the product.

Using Social Bee I am successfully maintaining multichannel social accounts for my two businesses
Social Bee makes my social media marketing efforts easy and smooth. From the one dashboard, I can control all of my social media as well as use analytics to get the marketing overview and results. This is the best part of Social Bee to me.
CONSThe UI could be more slick and handy. A better UI could make this more attractive to the user.

SocialBee. The best at what she does,
So far it's been doing a good job, and I easily find the tools I need to use, great social media control tool.
PROSIt's the best tool I've found to schedule, and it gives support in several networks that I work, the company is on the way to consolidate itself as one of the best in the field in which it operates (social media), support and trust when using it. And supports multiple platforms and operating systems.
CONSThey don't have integration with Pinterest. the lack of direct posting on instagram doesn't help either

It has helped me with doing my social media marketing for my clients
PROSI love using the post scheduling feature, post creation, and even the content creator features. I have used these features to help post through Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. It is also cheaper than Hootsuite. Use my link to get it free for at least two weeks. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]

Great tool for power users that create social post campaigns & ad hoc social posts
Really happy with what this tool has to offer.
PROSSocial Bee has the most comprehensive feature set I've seen. It enables you to set up social post campaigns that require 0 maintenance during the life of the campaign. It makes ad hoc social posts across many channels easy too.
CONSNot always the most beautiful UI but I don't really find that to be an issue that effects productivity.
