Best time to post, from your own results
The dashboard learns which days and hours get your posts the most engagement and suggests when to schedule next.

FAQ
PostNinja vs SocialBee: questions

Yes: $15/mo against $29 for 5 accounts, $50/mo against $99 for 25, and $100/mo against about $254 for 75 (billed monthly).
How do I switch from SocialBee to PostNinja?

Does PostNinja support everything SocialBee does?
PostNinja focuses on X, Instagram, Threads, Facebook Pages, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Pinterest. LinkedIn isn't available right now and Bluesky isn't supported yet. It doesn't have a social inbox or listening tools: it's built to make planning and publishing fast and affordable.
