SocialBu has recently updated the plans shown on the pricing page. This article explains what changed, why we made the update, and what it means for existing paid users and Free users.
Short version
We have introduced newer SocialBu plans for new subscriptions.
Existing paid customers can continue using their current plan as usual.
Your current paid plan, pricing, features, and limits are not automatically changing.
Monthly users on older paid plans can still switch to yearly billing and save 2 months compared to paying monthly.
Free users who want to ask about older plan availability should contact support. Older plans are not guaranteed because hidden or legacy plans are not offered to new users from the current plan selector.
You can compare the latest plans on the SocialBu pricing page.
Why we made this change
Over the past few years, SocialBu has grown far beyond basic scheduling.
We have introduced many new features and improved existing ones across planning, publishing, automation, analytics, team workflows, and account management. We have also continued improving reliability and support so users can manage their social media with more confidence.
As the product has become more capable, the cost of building, maintaining, and supporting SocialBu has also increased. We do not want to compromise on quality, reliability, or support, so we have updated our pricing to better reflect the value SocialBu provides today and to help us keep improving it in the long run.
At the same time, we want to keep this transition fair for existing users.
What changed
We have updated the plans shown on the SocialBu pricing page.
The newer plans are designed to make it easier to choose the right option based on how you use SocialBu, whether you are just getting started, growing your social presence, or managing multiple brands and accounts.
The current plans are:
Starter: $29/month
Growth: $79/month
Agency: $199/month
What happens to existing paid customers?
If you are already subscribed to an older paid SocialBu plan, nothing changes automatically.
You can continue using your current plan with the same pricing, features, and limits as usual.
If you are on an older monthly paid plan and want to switch to yearly billing, you can still do that and save 2 months compared to paying monthly.
What about Free users?
If you are currently on the Free plan, the new pricing applies when you choose to upgrade through the pricing page.
If you were planning to upgrade to one of the older SocialBu plans, please reach out to our support team during the transition window. Older pricing may not be available, and support will confirm what options are currently possible for your account.
You can contact support from inside your SocialBu account or by reaching out through the help center.
Older plans vs newer plans
Older plans were based on our previous pricing structure. Newer plans are designed around the current SocialBu experience and how users manage social media today.
The main differences may include:
Social account limits
Scheduled post limits
Team/user limits
Feature availability
Monthly and yearly pricing
Best fit for individuals, growing teams, or agencies
Do I need to do anything?
If you are happy with your current paid subscription, you do not need to take any action.
Your current paid subscription will continue as usual.
If you are on the Free plan and want to ask about older pricing, contact support. Availability depends on the options SocialBu can currently offer.

You can view the latest SocialBu plans here:
How to manage billing
Web subscribers can manage billing details and eligible subscription changes from Settings > Subscription & Billing. If your subscription was purchased through the mobile app, manage it through the app store account used for purchase.
Hidden and legacy plans
Some older SocialBu plans remain active for existing subscribers but are hidden from the current pricing page and plan selector. Existing paid users can usually keep their current plan unless they choose to switch, but hidden plans are not treated as currently offered plans for new subscriptions.
