Movement

By model

How each model treated SocialBee across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“SocialBee or PostEverywhere at $20-29/month provide excellent value” Mistral Small · Social media · budget prompt · alternative
“upgrade to SocialBee (~$25/mo) if you need more automation features” MiniMax M2.5 · Social media · budget prompt · alternative
“SocialBee: slightly better if you want to recycle old content.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Content marketing · budget prompt · alternative
“Content recycling (evergreen strategy) \u2192 SocialBee” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Social media · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Poor customer support: Delayed responses, generic/scripted replies, billing friction reported” Kimi K2 · Social media · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named SocialBee. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 3 of the 24 answers that named SocialBee and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when SocialBee's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as SocialBee, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at socialbee.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
