Ocoya vs SocialBee
Content categories and evergreen recycling, with AI generation included.
SocialBee is the strongest value here on AI: unlimited content generation on every plan, and it makes images as well as captions, which most tools at this price do not. Its real idea is content categories — you sort posts into buckets and it recycles them on a schedule, so the calendar keeps filling itself. Where it thins out is the team: Bootstrap and Accelerate are one user in one workspace, and Pro is three users across five workspaces. Ocoya includes five users at $79 and twenty at $199, adds video generation and the Design Studio, and puts an MCP server on every plan. If you are one person keeping an evergreen queue alive, SocialBee is very good at that. For a team producing new work, we are.

| Capability | ||
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | $29/mo on Starter — 1 user, 5 social profiles, 300 AI credits | $24.20/mo billed annually on Bootstrap ($29 monthly) — 5 social profiles, 1 user, 1 workspace |
| Team seats | 1, 5 or 20 users depending on plan — seats are part of the plan, not an add-on | 1 user on Bootstrap and Accelerate; 3 users across 5 workspaces on the $82.50/mo Pro plan |
| Ceiling | $199/mo on Agency — 20 users, 100 social profiles, 5,000 AI credits | 25 social profiles on Pro; more needs an agency plan, which starts at $179/mo |
| AI copywriting | AI captions from a prompt, with brand voice, tone and length controls, on every plan — plus rewrite, shorten, expand, tone and translate-into-37-languages on any caption | Unlimited AI content generation on every plan, including the $24.20/mo entry plan — uncapped where ours is a credit pool |
| AI image & video | AI image and AI video generation in-app, from the same credit pool | AI image generation alongside captions and hashtags — but no video generation |
| Campaign generation | One prompt becomes a whole campaign — posts, visuals and a schedule across every network | An AI copilot builds a posting strategy, content categories, a schedule and ready-to-edit posts |
| Design tooling | Design Studio built in — templates, brand kit and a full editor in the same tab as the calendar | Canva integration and AI images — no first-party editor |
| Networks | 14 integrations: Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube Shorts, Google Business, TikTok, Discord, Dribbble, Kick and WooCommerce | Ten: Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads, YouTube, Pinterest, Bluesky and Google Business |
| Unified inbox | DMs, comments and mentions from every connected profile, with assignment, open/resolved statuses and internal notes | Mentions, comments and DMs in one place |
| Workflow automation | Visual workflows automate publishing and replies, and can be triggered by an AI agent | Content categories with evergreen recycling — 10 categories on Bootstrap, 50 on Accelerate, unlimited on Pro. No visual workflow builder |
| MCP / AI assistant control | mcp.ocoya.com — an OAuth-secured MCP server covering the whole product: create, design, schedule, run workflows and switch brands. Included on every plan | No MCP server published |
| Approval workflows | Request approval on any post: pick which brand members review it, they get an email with one-click approve or reject, and the post cannot publish until it is approved. Every decision is logged on the post. Not gated behind a higher tier | A post approval system from the $40.80/mo Accelerate plan; internal notes on Pro |
| Free trial | 7-day free trial of the full product | 14-day free trial with no card, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee |
