Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 10 of the 19 other social media schedulers we grade
SocialPilot schedules posts to ten networks from queues and a calendar, with bulk CSV uploads, RSS feeds and an AI writer. Plans are flat monthly prices that include a set number of social accounts and users, and higher tiers add an inbox, analytics, client approvals and white-label reports for agencies. Extra accounts and users can be bought one at a time.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about SocialPilot, taken from its own pages and our grades.
There's no App Store rating on record for us to go by, and you'll connect accounts and set up queues first.
- 1
Best for small teams that want an inbox on a budget
SocialPilot is a flat-price scheduler: queues, a calendar, RSS feeds and AI, with the inbox, analytics and approvals arriving on Standard.
- 2
Paid plans start at $25.50 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $25.50 per month for up to 7 accounts, billed annually ($30 billed monthly).
- 3
You can try it first
14-day free trial, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android, with a browser extension too.
- 5
Queues and calendar
Posts for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Threads, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, Google Business Profile and Bluesky go into smart queues or onto a calendar view.
- 6
Bulk and RSS scheduling
CSV uploads and bulk scheduling start on Premium, and every plan can pull posts from RSS feeds (5 on Essentials up to 20 on Ultimate).
- 7
AI Pilot credits
An AI writer drafts and adapts posts on monthly credits: 500 on Essentials, 1,000 on Standard, 5,000 on Premium and unlimited on Ultimate.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 10 of 19
That is against the other social media schedulers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
The plain part of SocialPilot you could make: calendar and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

The report card
Best for small teams that want an inbox on a budget
SocialPilot is a flat-price scheduler: queues, a calendar, RSS feeds and AI, with the inbox, analytics and approvals arriving on Standard. That plan covers three people and 15 accounts for $42.50 a month billed yearly. The API, though, is Enterprise only.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Essentials is one user, so a team of two or three buys Standard: $42.50 a month billed yearly for 15 accounts and 3 users. That's above this category's $29 middle and under the $58 dearer quarter. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but a 14-day trial with no card needed. |
| Features | B | Queues and a calendar for 10 networks, RSS, AI credits, an inbox, analytics, approvals and white-label reports for agencies. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core job; the API is held back for Enterprise. |
| Ease of use | C | There's no App Store rating on record for us to go by, and you'll connect accounts and set up queues first. So it gets the ordinary grade. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, with Canva, Slack, Zapier, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box and Unsplash. No desktop app, which an A needs. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who SocialPilot is for
- Great if a team of three wants an inbox and analytics at a flat price
- Good for agencies that need client approvals and white-label reports
- Handy when your posts come from RSS feeds or bulk CSV files
Who it is not for
- Too light for anyone on Essentials who wants stats, as analytics start on Standard
- Skip it if you want the API, since it's Enterprise only
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as there's only a 14-day trial
Good to know
Good for
- Small agencies that want client approvals and branded reports at a flat price
- Teams posting from RSS feeds or bulk CSV files
- Freelancers managing a handful of accounts on a budget
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial.
- Essentials has 1 user and no inbox, analytics or approvals; those start on Standard.
- Extra social accounts cost $4 a month each and extra users $5 a month each.
- Bulk scheduling, client approvals and white-label reports need Premium; API access is limited to Enterprise.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of SocialPilot you could make: calendar and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $306 a year.
What you could make
- Calendar and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Canva, Slack and Zapier among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. SocialPilot’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
