Social Bee and Hootsuite, side by side.
Hootsuite prices per user. Social Bee prices per brand workspace, and prints the plan, the allowance and the channel state on the same page. Where Hootsuite's plan cards carried no figure on the check date, this page says so.

Networks listed on the page: Not checked. Not checked on that date: The plan cards printed no numeric price on 8 September 2026, so the prices above are quoted from the same page's FAQ rather than from the cards.

Social Bee plans
Each plan includes a verified brand workspace or creator identity with its own seats, connected profiles, image credits and publishing actions. The live amounts are on the pricing page.
The destination is an exact account
You choose the exact connected account when you connect it, and that account stays attached to the post through review, scheduling and delivery. A platform name never stands in for the destination.
Approval and publishing stay separate
Draft, approval, schedule, delivery and failure are distinct states. An approved draft is not a published post, and nothing publishes itself once it is approved.
The same workspace works inside ChatGPT
The Social Bee app for ChatGPT is approved and carries the same permissions, approvals and allowances as the product, so a post can be briefed, approved and published from a conversation.
UAE and KSA moments are in the calendar
Regional public moments sit beside your own launches, Ramadan can be planned with real lead time, and Asia/Dubai scheduling stays visible while markets stay separate.
Channel states are printed, including the gaps
Instagram feed posts, carousels, Reels, comments, and DMs are available for connected accounts. Facebook Pages connect today; Page publishing opens when Meta completes its review. Personal LinkedIn profiles publish today; Company Page publishing runs through the official API and reaches customer Pages as LinkedIn extends our access. TikTok posts privately until TikTok finishes reviewing the app. Snapchat is coming soon pending review. X is coming as a paid add-on channel; it is not available yet.
How to read this table.
The competitor column is a record of what their own pricing page printed on the check date, with the source link beside it. Anything the page did not state that day is marked as not checked instead of filled in. The Social Bee column is generated from the live plan catalog, so it cannot drift away from what you are charged. Source: https://www.hootsuite.com/plans, checked on 8 September 2026.
