Postproxy vs SocialBee
SocialBee is a management dashboard for marketing teams. Postproxy is a publishing API for developers. If you searched "SocialBee API" — it doesn't exist. Here is what does.
SocialBee has no public API. It is on their roadmap with no timeline. If you need to publish from code, a backend, or an automation, SocialBee is not an option today.
TL;DR
A quick take in two columns, then the detailed comparison below.
SocialBee is a social media management tool for marketing teams: visual calendar, post recycling, inbox for DMs, built-in AI writing. Plans start at $29/mo for 5 profiles. It integrates with 10 platforms. The only programmatic access is a limited Zapier connector (add/publish posts) and Make.com. No REST endpoints, no SDKs, no webhooks.
Postproxy is an API with no dashboard. Every plan includes full API access starting with a permanent free tier. 7 typed SDKs, queue system with timeslots and priority, per-platform failure handling, scoped API keys for multi-tenant isolation, MCP server, and native n8n node. If you need to publish from code, SocialBee cannot do it today.

Where Postproxy wins
APIs, SDKs, tenant isolation, and predictable behavior—without running publishing infrastructure yourself.
An API exists
SocialBee has no public API. If you need programmatic publishing, the comparison ends here.
Free tier
Test the full API without paying. SocialBee starts at $29/mo.
7 SDKs
Typed clients for Node/TS, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, Java, .NET.
Multi-tenant support
Build a SaaS product with per-client isolation. Not possible with SocialBee.
Automation stack
n8n native node, MCP server for AI agents, Zapier — all programmatic.
Failure handling
Per-platform state machine with retry states. Critical when machines publish.
Where SocialBee is different
SocialBee is built for non-technical teams who manage social media by hand.
Visual workflow
Content calendar, categories, post recycling, drag-and-drop scheduling.
Inbox management
Read and reply to DMs and comments across platforms from one place.
