SocialBee
SocialBee retires category sequencing and Next Posts in its first product change in months.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Metricool and Pallyy — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Metricool's October update adds campaign goals, Instagram collab reporting and X support in Flows.
After weeks of blog-only entries, Metricool published its October product update. It adds goal-setting to Campaign Dashboards, collab content in the Instagram report, X support in Flows through the X add-on, more review and publish controls in the Planner, and more per-brand settings. The rest of the feed is still SEO content on paid ads and platform how-tos.
Pallyy ships small, steady polish for agency social scheduling — but its feed has gone quiet since late 2025.
Pallyy is a social-media scheduling tool with an agency and client-collaboration bent. The recent releases are consistently small, user-requested quality-of-life improvements: client self-connect links, smoother post creation and media upload, shared-calendar tweaks, and Instagram-specific options (3:4 crop, Reels audio renaming, shoppable posts). There's no large feature in the window — this is a mature product on incremental polish. Notably, the changelog's most recent entry is from December 2025, so the public feed has been quiet for months.

The shipped work leans toward agencies and teams running campaigns across many brands: goals per campaign, per-brand settings and review steps before posts go out. Creator collabs getting their own reporting suggests influencer work is becoming a tracked line item rather than a side activity.
Expect more approval and multi-brand workflow controls in the Planner and Flows, released in monthly roundups. The blog will keep carrying paid-ads comparisons between those roundups.

Two threads run through the work: sharpening the core posting flow and deepening agency/client collaboration (shared calendars, client-connect links, disconnection alerts). Instagram remains the priority network, with several format-specific features. The trajectory is refinement of an established product rather than expansion into new surfaces — and the recent publishing gap makes the near-term direction hard to read from the feed alone.
The signal is thin: with no changelog entries since December 2025, there isn't enough recent activity to predict a confident next move. If shipping resumes at the prior cadence, more agency-collaboration and Instagram-format features are the most likely continuation — but the quiet feed is worth flagging.
