How it works

Start free. Win the work.
Then scale.

Built for the people who manage the work β€” social media managers, freelancers and agencies. You only pay more once your roster grows, so the plan never gets ahead of the business.

01

Plan for free

Build a client proposal and two weeks of content on the Free plan. No card, no risk β€” just real work to pitch.

02

Land the project

Close the business with work in hand, then upgrade to Starter to go live β€” and we'll help you serve them well.

03

Grow as you go

Running your own social? Start free and post by hand β€” add Live Projects and automate only when new clients say yes.

AI credits

What your credits can do

Credits are flexible β€” spend them however your workflow needs. There's no fixed formula; here's the rough shape of what they unlock.

Content drafting

Turn a brief into ready-to-post captions, copy and hooks β€” adapted per platform.

Post recommendations

Get daily, on-brand ideas on what to post and when, so you're never staring at a blank calendar.

Campaign planning

Map a full campaign with Nia β€” themes, a calendar and goals you can publish straight from.

Automations

Set posts, replies and routines to run on their own β€” so the work keeps moving while you don't.

Examples are illustrative, not a fixed formula β€” mix drafts, recommendations, planning and automations however you like. A quick draft costs less; a full campaign costs a little more.

Publishing requires an active Live Project. The Free plan covers planning and drafting only.

Ad management

Want us to run your paid ads?

When Socella manages your ad campaigns, we charge a small percentage of the spend we actually manage β€” billed monthly alongside your subscription. No markup games, no hidden retainer. It's separate from your plan price, and you only pay it on spend we run.

FAQ

Questions, answered

A credit is the unit you spend on AI work with Nia β€” drafting a post, generating recommendations or building a campaign plan. There's no rigid formula: a quick caption uses less, a full campaign uses a little more. Credits refresh at the start of each billing cycle.

A Live Project is a brand or client you've connected for publishing β€” scheduling and posting across platforms. The Free plan lets you plan and draft for free; publishing unlocks once you go live on a paid plan. Your tier sets how many brands you can run at once.

If you ask Socella to manage your paid ads, we add a percentage of the ad spend we manage to your monthly invoice β€” 5% on Starter and Freelancer, 2% on Scale and Agency. It's separate from your plan price, and you only pay it on spend we actually run.

Bring Your Own Key. On the Agency plan you start with 1,000 included credits, then connect your own AI provider key for unlimited usage beyond that allowance β€” billed directly to you by the provider at their rates, with no Socella markup.

Annual billing gives you two months free β€” you pay for ten months and get twelve. Everything else about the plan is identical, and you can switch between monthly and annual at any time.

That's the whole idea. Start free, plan a campaign and close your first client, then move up to Starter to go live. Add Live Projects and credits only when new business says yes β€” so the plan never gets ahead of the work.

Yes β€” form-based lead capture is available on every plan, including Free, since it doesn't require a connected social account. Automatic DM-to-CRM capture requires a live project with a connected social account, available starting on the Starter plan.
