Statusbrew
Tool · this deep dive is built from the official pages of the platform itself and of the tools that support it.
Overview
Statusbrew describes itself like this: "Statusbrew matches Sprout & Hootsuite for a fair price for social media features, migration support, and data backfill" (homepage). That self-description is the tool's own claim about itself, not an independent assessment, and the comparison with Sprout Social and Hootsuite here belongs to Statusbrew itself. No verifiable matching of features stands behind that phrase.
Three things in the wording are named separately and deserve attention: support during a move from another tool, the transfer of historical data (data backfill) and price. Not a single figure stands next to the promise of a "fair price" on the pages we checked.
The interface language is not stated in the markup of the homepage at all: both the lang attribute and the hreflang links were checked — neither is there (homepage). Determining the declared language versions from the markup is therefore impossible.
About the programming interface there is only a partial fact. The address developer.statusbrew.com was found on the homepage by the "api/dev" sign in the link, but the address itself does not open (homepage). In other words, a link to developer documentation is on the site, but documentation could not be obtained from it; counting the API as confirmed on that basis is not possible.
Which platforms it works with
The integrations page is laid out in three sections, and the lists in them are different — that matters more than the total number.
Social networks (the "Social Networks" section), twelve: Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, WhatsApp, X (Formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, Bluesky, YouTube, Google Business Profile, Pinterest, Line. The set is wider than usual thanks to Bluesky and Line — they are met with tools of this kind infrequently.
Reviews and reputation (the "Reputation & Review Management" section), six sources: Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Facebook page reviews, Google Business Profile questions and answers, Trustpilot, Yelp. The app stores here are a substantial detail: breaking down reviews of a mobile app usually requires a separate instrument.
Tracking mentions (the "Social Listening" section), six sources: Instagram, X (Formerly Twitter), Reddit, web monitoring of blogs and news, Threads, YouTube.
The overlap between the sections is partial. Instagram, X, Threads and YouTube are in both social networks and the tracking of mentions. Reddit and web monitoring exist only for tracking — publishing to them is not declared. Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Bluesky, Line and Pinterest are not named in the tracking list.
How you earn with it
There are two directions, and this is not one programme with different names: on the partner page an Affiliate Program and a Partner Program are announced. The "Become a partner" link stands in the footer of the homepage; the standard addresses /affiliate, /affiliates, /affiliate-program and /partners answer with code 404 — that is, the only working page is this one.
Affiliate Program: 20 % lifetime commission on the subscription value of the customer brought in — "20% lifetime commission on your referrals subscription value". The commission is recurring, no limiting term is named on the page; the word "lifetime" belongs to the tool.
Partner Program: the rate is higher — "generous commissions (40%)". This direction is addressed to agencies and resellers, with support before and after the sale.
Admission to both programmes is by application through a form. No formal requirements for participants are listed: on what grounds an application is approved or rejected, the page does not say.
What it will not do
"The source does not say" and "the tool does not support" are different assertions; everything listed below belongs to the first.
On the affiliate programmes the terms of settlement are not disclosed. The lifetime of the click tag is not named; a minimum payout threshold is not named; the methods of receiving the money are not listed; a separate terms page for the programme does not exist (partner page). Of the financial part only two rates are known — 20 % and 40 % — while everything that determines when and how those percentages will turn into money remains behind the application form.
The developer documentation could not be checked: the address was found but does not open. What exactly can be done through the programming interface and whether it exists in open access is not known from the pages we checked.
The declared language versions cannot be established: the markup of the homepage contains neither a language attribute nor links to translations. This is a limitation of the check, not a confirmation that the interface is in one language only.
The cost of the plans the sources we checked do not name. The promise of a "fair price" from the self-description is not backed by figures, and comparing Statusbrew with other tools on money is impossible on the data available.

Pricing
The cheapest paid plan is Lite: «$69/mo billed annually», that is, 69 USD a month when paid yearly. It includes «1 user» and «5 social profiles». The currency is the US dollar, and the period is a month on yearly billing
The price is taken from Statusbrew's own page. On the main pricing page statusbrew.com/pricing there is no amount in the text — only the caption «/mo billed annually» remains, and the figures are delivered as an image or by script. No monthly price for Lite is named on any Statusbrew page that was read, so we do not assert «69 USD a month without yearly billing». The quotations are verbatim. A monetary fact, shelf life 90 days
source, checked 2026-08-07
Add-ons are sold separately from the tiers, and Statusbrew publishes their prices: integration with Salesforce and HubSpot — «$300 per month on monthly billing or $200 per month on yearly billing»; team action logs on the Premium plan — «$79 per month»; review management on Premium — «$100/month»; competitors — «$30 per month. Each add-on gives you 15 additional competitor profiles». Payment is accepted only by card: «Currently, we only accept payments by credit cards and some debit cards (in the U.S. only)». There are no refunds: «Statusbrew has a strict no-refund policy»
The CRM add-on at 300 USD a month is four times the lowest tier itself — when comparing with other schedulers this changes the picture. The strict no-refund rule is recorded alongside deliberately. The quotations are verbatim

There is no free plan: asked directly, Statusbrew's help centre answers that the platform offers no permanent free plan — instead there is a trial period on the paid plans
This is Statusbrew's own answer in an article headed with the question «Does Statusbrew Have A Free Plan?». An empty cell and «there is no free plan» are different things, and this is the second
source, checked 2026-08-07
Four tiers plus separate plans for agencies. Lite — «$69/mo billed annually», «1 user», «5 social profiles». Standard — «3 users», «10 social profiles». Premium — «6 users (can add more users)», «15 social profiles (can add more profiles)». Enterprise — «Custom pricing», «Unlimited Profiles», «Unlimited Users». For agencies: «From $49 /mo/client», «Unlimited spaces, shareable calendars, reports, and more»
The composition of the tiers is confirmed verbatim, but the monetary values of Standard and Premium could not be read from the pricing page: the figures there are not text. We did not find in Statusbrew's open text that these tiers cost 129 and 229 USD and therefore do not record it. The quotations are verbatim
source, checked 2026-08-07
They count on two bases at once — by people and by connected profiles — and both figures are baked into the tier: 1 user and 5 profiles on Lite, 3 and 10 on Standard, 6 and 15 on Premium. Beyond the tier both can be bought: «can add more users», «can add more profiles». Statusbrew openly offers a choice of counting basis: «We can offer a per profile, a per-user, or a bulk quote that fits you the best». For agencies the count runs on a third basis — per client: «From $49 /mo/client». On Enterprise «the cost of adding a user or profile is custom»
Statusbrew does not publish separate prices for an extra user and an extra profile on the standard plans: the billing help article confirms that they can be bought but names amounts only for Enterprise — and there they are by agreement. We looked for them on the pricing page, in the billing and subscription help article and on two comparison pages — and did not find them. The quotations are verbatim

Sources diverge: A trial period without a card, but its length differs between two Statusbrew pages. The pricing page and the trial help article say 14 days on all paid plans: «14-Day Free Trial», «No card required. Cancel anytime.», «You don't need to enter any credit card details». The billing and subscription help article says otherwise: «The free trial lasts 7 days for the Lite and Standard plans and 14 days for the Premium plan». At the end: «If you don't upgrade, your access will simply stop — no charges, no surprises»
A contradiction within one site: 14 days for everything against 7 days for Lite and Standard. Neither version is chosen as the truth; both are quoted verbatim. The sources agree on one thing: no card is needed for the trial. The other side of the contradiction is https://statusbrew.com/help/articles/free-trial-statusbrew and https://statusbrew.com/pricing

API access
the address https://developer.statusbrew.com/ was found on the home page by the «api/dev» marker in the address, but the address itself does not open
CORRECTED the previous version declared any address containing the word api or dev found on the home page to be a developer section. All 57 such records were checked by opening the address: 24 turned out to be documentation. See data/technical/dev-links-verified.tsv and docs/research/S195-догадка-по-адресу.md
