Statusbrew

Social media publishing, inbox and moderation with rule-based comment hiding built in

As of 31 August 2026, Statusbrew starts at $69/month. A social media management tool whose real differentiator is automated moderation: rules that hide or delete comments and ad comments before a human sees them. Softwr lists it under Social Media. Statusbrew is available on Web, iOS, Android.

Overview

What Statusbrew does

Statusbrew is a social media management platform covering scheduling and publishing, a unified engagement inbox, reporting, and approval workflows across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads and Google Business Profile. It is aimed at marketing teams and agencies that have outgrown a scheduler but do not want an enterprise suite. The part worth buying it for is moderation. Statusbrew lets you write rules that automatically hide, delete or flag comments, including comments on paid ad posts, based on keyword lists, profanity, competitor mentions or sentiment. That is a real operational saving for consumer brands running paid social at volume, where the alternative is a person scrolling ad comment threads all day, and it is a capability most schedulers treat as an afterthought. If you do not run paid social, this differentiator does nothing for you and the product is a competent but ordinary scheduler. Pricing is published, which is unusual enough in this category to matter. Lite is 89 US dollars per month for 1 user and 5 social profiles, Standard 179 for 3 users and 10 profiles, Premium 299 for 6 users and 15 profiles, with roughly 22 per cent off on annual billing and a separate agency plan starting at 49 per client per month. The double limit on both seats and profiles is the thing to model carefully: an agency with fifteen clients on three networks each hits the profile ceiling long before the seat ceiling.

What people use it for

A consumer brand running paid social where ad comment threads fill with spam and complaints faster than a community manager can clear them
An agency managing a dozen small clients that needs client-facing approval before anything publishes to a client account
An in-house team of five that wants one inbox for Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn engagement rather than three native apps
A retailer with many Google Business Profile locations that wants reviews and posts handled in the same queue as social

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Statusbrew.

Plans cap both seats and social profiles, so an agency with many small clients hits the profile ceiling well before the user ceiling and is pushed to a tier it does not otherwise need.
Listening is limited to Premium and above and is keyword monitoring rather than a full listening dataset, so a brand that needs historical share of voice will still buy a second tool.
Moderation rules are keyword and sentiment based, which means sarcasm and coded language slip through while legitimate comments containing a blocked word get hidden, and someone must audit the rule set regularly.
Analytics retention is capped at 18 months even on paid tiers, so year-on-year comparisons beyond that require exporting data yourself before it ages out.
Network coverage depends entirely on the platform APIs, and features such as Instagram direct message handling or ad comment access change without notice when Meta adjusts permissions, occasionally breaking a workflow the plan was bought for.

Answered, with sources

Questions people ask

Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.

Can it moderate comments on paid ads?

Yes, and that is the main reason to choose it. Rules can hide or delete comments on ad posts as well as organic ones.

How much is it really?

89, 179 and 299 US dollars per month on monthly billing for Lite, Standard and Premium, dropping to 69, 129 and 229 on annual. Agency pricing starts at 49 per client per month.

Does the Lite plan work for a small agency?

No. One user and five profiles covers roughly one client. Agencies should price the dedicated agency plan against the per-client count.

Is there a free plan?

No, only a 14-day trial without a card.
