demo / socialcue
Approve a post — SocialCue sends it to Buffer automatically with the exact scheduled date and time. Zero extra clicks.
Draft → Review → Approved → Published. Auto-publishes the moment you approve. No WhatsApp back-and-forth.
Admin, Manager, Editor, Approver. Give clients an Approver login — they see only their content, approve or reject.
Generate full posts from a topic. AI images via Pollinations — zero setup, free forever. No extra subscription.
One filtered link per client. They see only their account's content — no login, no access to other clients.
Each client gets their own Buffer connection. Posts go to the right account automatically — fully separated.
Month, week, day, and kanban. Bulk approve multiple posts at once. Filter by platform, account, or status.
Leave feedback directly on posts. Activity log shows who created, edited, and sent to Buffer — full audit trail.
Your server, your data. Brute-force protection, hardened session cookies, security headers. No SaaS access to client content.
Explore a fully working demo pre-filled with 30 posts, 4 accounts, and real data. No signup required.

"I was on Planable at $33/month. Cancelled it the week I bought SocialCue. The approval workflow is the same, the calendar works, and I'm not paying monthly anymore. That's it — that's the review."
"My clients used to send approval feedback over WhatsApp with voice notes. Now they have an Approver login, leave comments directly on the post, and I get a notification. Night and day."
"I manage content for 5 clients. The per-account Buffer setup means each client's posts go to their own queue automatically. I don't touch it once it's approved. That alone justifies the price."
"We work with financial services clients who won't sign off on tools that store data in the US. Self-hosted means the data stays on our server. That was the only reason I looked at it — and then I liked the rest too."
"Setup was straightforward — uploaded the files, changed the password, added my client as an Approver. She asked me what tool it was because it looked so clean. I just said 'something I use for client work'."
"Not perfect — I wish there was a mobile app. But for planning, reviewing with clients and getting posts into Buffer, it does exactly what I need. And I'm not paying $30+ a month for it."
* Testimonials reflect typical customer experiences. Individual results may vary.
SocialCue is a one-time purchase. Same core workflow as Planable — client approvals, team comments, calendar view — without the subscription. Freelancer $70 · Agency $499. Both excl. VAT.
