# Social media studio > Social media studio (so-me.studio) is a social media scheduler and automation platform for people and AI agents. Plan posts, draft captions with AI, publish to 16 platforms including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Threads and Pinterest, answer messages from one inbox, and track analytics. AI agents connect through an MCP server with 200+ tools, a CLI or a REST API. There is no free plan: Lite, Creator, Standard and Advanced start with a 7-day free trial, and Lifetime is a one-time purchase. The AI writing tools at so-me.studio/free-tools need a signed-in account on Creator or a higher plan (a Creator trial works), because each generation uses AI caption credits; Lite has no AI. Built for AI agents, agencies, ecommerce businesses, solo creators, and anyone who batches social media posting and wants to automate across multiple platforms. Also known as so-me.studio (formerly So-me Studio). Publishing destinations (16): X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn (profile), LinkedIn Page, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon, Dribbble, WordPress, Dev.to, Discord and Slack. WhatsApp is supported for approved message templates and the inbox, and Telegram for the inbox only; neither is a scheduled-post destination. Pricing: there is no free plan. Lite, Creator, Standard and Advanced are monthly or annual subscriptions that start with a 7-day free trial: a credit card is required, nothing is charged until the trial ends, and the plan renews automatically after 7 days unless it is cancelled in Billing. Lifetime ($299) is a one-time payment with no trial and a 7-day money-back guarantee. The REST API, CLI and MCP server are included on every paid plan. AI image credits are coming soon on every plan. - Lite ($10 a month or $90 a year): publishing only, for the account owner alone. 250 posts a month, 5 connected social accounts, the REST API (250 calls a month, 30 a minute), the MCP server (2,500 credits a month, 15 a minute) and the CLI.
