Are you looking for a Later alternative?

SocialBee is an AI-powered social media management software designed to simplify content creation, scheduling, and publishing across multiple social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky, and Google Business Profile.

SocialBee is more than a social media scheduler. It simplifies team collaboration, allowing social media managers to easily review and approve content before it’s posted.

Additionally, SocialBee offers powerful analytics to help users track and optimize their social media strategy.

Users can also manage direct messages, comments, and mentions from a centralized dashboard, ensuring they never miss important interactions and user-generated content across multiple social media accounts.

Simply put, SocialBee helps you make the most out of your social media marketing efforts.

Here are the main differences between SocialBee and Later:

• Platform support: Later lets you post to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and Threads. SocialBee, however, supports more platforms like Bluesky, Google Business Profile, and even lets you post to major social media platforms like Reddit and Facebook Groups through its Universal Posting feature.
• Post previews: SocialBee gives you a preview of how your posts will look on each platform, unlike Later, which doesn’t offer that.
• Post limits: SocialBee doesn’t have strict limits on how many posts you can share, while Later does. For instance, for the 29/mo plan Later allows you to post only 30 posts per social channel, while with SocialBee, for the same price, you can share up to 10.000 posts.
• AI content creation credits: Later gives you a limited number of credits for AI content each month, while SocialBee gives you unlimited access to its AI tools, including the ability to generate images.
• Social inbox: SocialBee’s social inbox is more comprehensive. It lets you respond to comments, mentions, and DMs across Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, Google Business Profile, and YouTube. Later only supports TikTok and Instagram comments.
• Analytics: Later offers insights for Instagram, Threads, Facebook, X, TikTok, and Pinterest. SocialBee provides those same insights plus analytics for YouTube, LinkedIn, and Google Business Profile.
• Team collaboration: SocialBee lets you tag team members directly in posts, making it easier to leave notes and collaborate. Later doesn’t have that feature.
• Support options: SocialBee gives you more support options, including calls, whereas Later doesn’t offer this.
• RSS feed integration: SocialBee lets you link your blog’s RSS feed, so it automatically creates posts for you when you publish something new. This isn’t available with Later.
• Content organization: SocialBee lets you sort your posts into content folders and set specific posting schedules for each, which makes bulk scheduling easier. Later doesn’t have this level of organization.
• Resharing & scheduling: With SocialBee, you can easily schedule and reshare posts. For example, you can set a post to be reshared multiple times or have it expire after a certain number of shares or by a specific date. Later doesn’t offer that flexibility.
• Media library: Later offers a drag-and-drop media library, while SocialBee doesn’t have this feature.
• Workspaces & user management: SocialBee lets you create separate workspaces with multiple users, which is great for multi-brand businesses and growing teams. Later has a feature called Access Groups (Growth plans and higher include unlimited Access Groups).
• Social listening & monitoring: Later offers social listening tools like Brand Mentions, Key Topic Insights, and Competitive Benchmarking. SocialBee focuses more on social media monitoring, letting you track mentions, comments, and messages, but it doesn’t have the same advanced listening tools that Later provides.

Both SocialBee and Later are good options for scheduling Instagram posts, as they allow you to schedule and publish multiple post types like: Instagram Stories, Reels, Carousels, and simple image and video posts.

Plus, both platforms allow you to generate Instagram hashtags, track your Instagram post performance, collaborate with your team and manage your interactions. However, from SocialBee you can reply to mentions, comments, and DMs, while from Later you can only interact with post comments.

On the other hand, the advantage of using Later is its drag-and-drop media library that makes it easy to drag images and videos into your calendar and schedule them quickly.
