How much does SocialBee cost for agencies in 2026?
SocialBee has a 14-day free trial. Bootstrap costs $24 per month on annual billing ($29 monthly), Accelerate costs $40 annually ($49 monthly), and Pro costs $82 annually ($99 monthly). Agency plans start at $149 annually ($179 monthly) for Pro50.
Bootstrap and Accelerate cover one workspace and one user, which suits a single brand. Pro covers 25 profiles, 5 workspaces, and 3 users per workspace, and the Pro50, Pro100, and Pro150 agency plans cover 10, 20, and 30 workspaces with 5 users each. Extra users, workspaces, and profile sets are paid add-ons, so total them before you choose.
To judge value, divide the plan price by the number of client workspaces you would run. A Pro plan with five workspaces costs less per client than Accelerate with one, and the agency plans reduce the per-workspace price again. Add-ons change that math, so build a simple table of workspaces, users, and profiles before you pick a tier.
| Plan | Price | What stands out |
|---|---|---|
| Bootstrap | $24 per month (annual billing); $29 monthly | 5 profiles, 1 workspace, 1 user, 10 content categories, 3 months of analytics |
| Accelerate | $40 per month (annual billing); $49 monthly | 10 profiles, 1 workspace, 1 user, post approval, bulk editor, 2 years of analytics |
| Pro | $82 per month (annual billing); $99 monthly | 25 profiles, 5 workspaces, 3 users per workspace, internal notes, branded reports |
| Pro50 | $149 per month (annual billing); $179 monthly | 50 profiles, 10 workspaces, 5 users per workspace |
| Pro100 | $274 per month (annual billing); $329 monthly | 100 profiles, 20 workspaces, 5 users per workspace |
| Pro150 | $374 per month (annual billing); $449 monthly | 150 profiles, 30 workspaces, 5 users per workspace |
