Download ShiftWhat is SocialPilot?
If you manage multiple social accounts, SocialPilot centralizes publishing, platform-aware post composition, and account grouping. It supports Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, Threads, Google Business Profile, and Bluesky. You can create, schedule, queue, and monitor posts across those networks.
The app supports team roles and client workspaces with role-based permissions, white-label reporting for agencies, bulk CSV post creation (up to 500 posts), a drag-and-drop content calendar, and a Social Inbox for messages on supported networks. It also offers mobile apps, browser extensions, and integrations with Canva, Google Drive, Slack, Zapier, Bitly, Shopify, WordPress, Unsplash, Dropbox, Giphy, Feedly, Box, and ChatGPT. SocialPilot exposes an MCP server so compatible AI assistants can discover workspace context and assist with create/schedule/review workflows. Pricing begins with an Essentials tier (commonly cited around $30/month) and scales to Premium, Ultimate, and Enterprise levels; a free trial is available. It can sit alongside other tools you use in Shift for a connected social workflow.
