Your entire social media stack. One AI brain.

PubCue AI is seven tools in one app: social scheduler, live trend research, AI copywriter, unified inbox with comment moderation, link-in-bio builder, evergreen content recycler, and automation engine. It costs up to 70% less with no per-channel fees. The Research tab shows what's trending right now across 10 social platforms plus web search and turns any trend into a drafted post in your voice with one click. Live trend research is included from Creator. The AI Assistant chat searches the web live, the daily trend research includes web search, and drafts are written from that trend board rather than a fresh search. The AI learns your brand voice through a 7-step Style Profile Wizard, auto-expands your interests into 30-50 related topics, and subtly guides content toward your business goals. You also get 18 automation types, per-platform AI scheduling, AI subscriber memory, and a unified inbox.

Research is a live trend board built into PubCue. It shows what's trending right now across 10 social platforms plus web search (X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Google search), including trending topics, hashtags, and the actual audio creators are using on TikTok and Reels. Filter by your niche and region, see why each trend is hot with a cited source, and check the heat badge (Surging, Rising, Steady, Cooling, or a saturation warning so you don't jump on a dead trend). Click Draft a post on any trend and PubCue writes the caption in your persona's voice, on that exact trend, and suggests a posting time to ride it while it is current. Draft a series opens Bulk Schedule with the trend as the theme. Data refreshes automatically throughout the day. Trend research is included on the Creator plan and above, which also covers the Trending Now dashboard widget and the 'Weave in trending topics' option in Bulk Schedule.

Competitor Analysis (Research > Competitor Analysis) tracks public accounts you don't own on Instagram, YouTube, Bluesky, and X: followers, growth, engagement rate, top posts, and content mix, refreshed daily. The AI writes a plain-English brief on what's driving their best posts, and one click drafts a post inspired by it in your persona's voice. It's a power-up because the data has real costs (X charges per read) and because that's how the whole market works: no competitor tool includes ongoing tracking for free. The difference is price. Rival IQ starts at $239/mo; PubCue packs start at $7.99/mo. One honest note: TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, and Pinterest aren't offered because there's no compliant way to pull that data. Tools that show it are scraping against platform rules, and we won't put your connected accounts at risk.

Yes, and on every plan. Each inbox row has moderation buttons that act on the real comment: hide and delete on Instagram and Facebook, hide on Threads, hide replies to your own posts on X, hide replies on your own Bluesky threads, hide (and restore) on YouTube, hide (and restore) on TikTok, and delete on Fanvue. A green open eye means the comment is visible, so clicking it hides; a red slashed eye means it is already hidden, so clicking it puts it back. Deleting on the platform is permanent and restricted to organization owners and admins, behind a confirm dialog that names the platform. That includes the Free plan. LinkedIn is the one gap: its comments are not in the inbox yet, because reading them needs Community Management access we have applied for.

Yes, and against your real profile rather than a mock-up. Instagram Grid Studio sits on the Calendar page behind the 'IG Grid Studio' button, and it draws the squares Instagram actually returns for your account, with your scheduled posts and dated drafts stacked on top, three across, newest first. Feed posts and Reels appear together, because that is what a visitor sees. Drag one scheduled square onto another and the two trade their scheduled times, or press Rearrange to stage a whole feed and see it before you commit. Times never move: the posts move between them, so your queue keeps the slots it already has. There is a lighter version inside Compose too, under 'Profile Grid Preview', that shows the single post you are writing in the square it will really claim. Two honest limits, both Instagram's. Instagram tells no app which posts you have pinned, so you mark your pinned squares once by hand and the grid draws them first. And Instagram never returns a Collab post somebody else published with you as co-author, to us or to any other tool, so those squares are missing until you place them yourself with 'Add Collab post'.

The AI Style Engine analyzes your past content to learn your brand's unique tone, vocabulary, and style. When you generate new posts, the AI writes in your voice, not generic marketing copy. Each persona can have its own style profile built through our 7-step Style Profile Wizard.

Creator Goal is a strategic dropdown in the Style Profile Wizard that defines your business objective. Choose from 6 goals: Grow paid subscribers, Maximize tips and PPV, Grow audience and reach, Build loyal community, Drive merch and product sales, or Attract brand deals. Once set, AI subtly nudges every caption, inbox reply, and automation toward that goal without changing your personality or voice. It's strategy on autopilot.

Yes. PubCue is seven tools in one app: scheduler, trend research, AI copywriter, unified inbox with comment moderation, link-in-bio builder, evergreen recycler, and automation engine. Most creators pay for a separate subscription for each one, and the inbox tools that can actually hide or delete a comment tend to be the most expensive of the lot. Creator includes all seven for $49/mo billed annually, and Starter covers scheduling, the AI copywriter, the inbox and link-in-bio from $29/mo billed annually.

Yes, both. Hashtag Performance (on the Analytics page) ranks the hashtags you actually published by the real engagement and reach those posts earned, across every connected platform, so you learn which tags work for YOUR audience instead of copying generic lists. And on your link-in-bio pages, the Traffic Sources funnel shows which platform and campaign drove your page views, link clicks, and captured leads, with a conversion rate per source. Turn on UTM tagging for a persona or channel and PubCue tags your outbound links automatically at publish time; the bio page reads those tags and attributes every visit and signup back to its source.

Yes. Fan Memory automatically learns subscriber preferences, interests, inside jokes, and boundaries over time. Each subscriber gets their own memory profile tied to the persona they interact with. Your AI replies feel personal because they reference real details from past conversations, not generic responses. Available on Creator and Agency plans.

PubCue AI offers four plans: Free ($0/mo: 1 channel, 10 posts/mo), Starter ($35/mo: 5 channels, unlimited posts), Creator ($59/mo: 25 channels, 3 users, unlimited posts), and Agency ($199/mo: unlimited channels, brands and users, 25 GB storage). All paid plans include unlimited posting. Billed annually those become $29, $49 and $159 a month, which saves $72, $120 and $480 a year.

PubCue's prices will rise as the platform grows. Everyone who subscribes before a rise keeps the price they signed up at, for as long as they stay subscribed: $35/mo Starter, $59/mo Creator, $199/mo Agency at today's rates, or the annual equivalents of $29, $49 and $159 a month. The lock covers the published fair use terms too, so an Agency founding member keeps the thresholds that were in force when they subscribed even if we raise them later for new accounts. You can see your locked rate on Settings > Plan & Billing. Canceling ends the lock: re-subscribing later means paying whatever the price is then.

Yes, and there is nothing to start. A new account automatically begins with 14 days of Creator-level features, with no credit card required. You do not pick a trial plan; you already have the Creator feature set from your first login, and a banner counts down the days left. Two things are throttled, and we would rather say so up front than surprise you: AI generations are capped at 100 for the trial and 50 chat messages, rather than Creator's full monthly allowances, and posts can be scheduled up to the day the trial ends rather than months ahead. If you have not subscribed when the 14 days are up, your account moves to the Free plan. Your posts, drafts and settings are kept, but Free allows 1 channel and 1 persona: your oldest channel and persona stay active, extra personas become read-only, and extra channels are disconnected 72 hours after we email you about it. Subscribe within those 72 hours and nothing is disconnected; after that, each extra channel has to be reconnected on a paid plan. The trial is offered once per email address: a new account opened with an email that has already had a trial, including the email of a deleted account, starts on the Free plan.

If you have not subscribed, your account moves to the Free plan. No card was taken, so nothing is charged. Nothing you created is deleted: your posts, drafts and settings are kept. Free allows 1 channel and 1 persona, so your oldest channel and persona stay active and the rest are locked. Extra personas become read-only. For extra channels we email you first, and 72 hours later they are disconnected and have to be reconnected on a paid plan; subscribe inside those 72 hours and nothing is disconnected. Creator features such as evergreen recycling, automations and trend research stop running until you subscribe.

Yes. Owners and admins cancel online from Settings > Plan & Billing, under Manage Subscription, with no call or email needed. Your plan stays active to the end of the period you already paid for, you are not charged again, and you can resume any time before that date. After it, the account moves to the Free plan with the same limits a finished trial has: your posts are kept, and channels and personas over Free's limits are locked. Founding member pricing is kept only while you stay subscribed, so re-subscribing later means paying the price at that time. Recurring add-ons are billed separately and are canceled from their own card on the same page.

PubCue AI encrypts data in transit with TLS, encrypts stored social media tokens with AES-256-GCM, hashes passwords with bcrypt, and uses role-based access controls and multi-tenant data isolation so one organization cannot see another's data. Social platforms connect through their official sign-in flows, so we never see your social passwords. Our Privacy Policy describes these measures in its Data Security section.

Most users are fully set up and scheduling their first post within 5 minutes. The onboarding wizard walks you through creating a persona, connecting channels, and composing your first post.
