BrightBean Studio
Free, self-hostable social media management for agencies — 10+ platforms, no per-seat limits.
Open-source alternative to Buffer and SocialPilot. Multi-workspace scheduling, approval workflows, unified inbox, and analytics — fully free under AGPL-3.0, cloud or self-hosted.
SocialPilot is a hosted social media scheduling and management tool aimed at agencies and small businesses, with plans from around $30/month for 7 accounts up to $200/month for 50, plus per-account overage fees beyond each plan's limit. That per-account billing model is the main thing agencies run into as their client list grows, which is why some move to self-hosted tools with flat, seat-unlimited pricing instead.
