Why agencies and teams switch to The Social Tools

The rule engine on every plan

Statusbrew gates AI moderation, sentiment analysis, and AI replies behind their $299/mo Premium plan. The Social Tools includes full rule-based automation, dry-run testing, and multi-platform moderation on every plan — starting at $29/mo.

Seats included, never billed per seat

Statusbrew charges per user once you exceed 5 seats. The Social Tools includes its seats in the flat price — 1, 5, or 15 by plan — so the price never moves with headcount. No per-seat fees, ever.

You write the rules. AI executes them.

Statusbrew's moderation is AI-driven — effective, but opaque. The Social Tools uses a rule-based engine where every decision is traceable to a rule you defined. No black box. No guessing why a comment was flagged.

Test before you trust

Test any moderation workflow on a sample comment and see exactly which branch matches and what it would do — before you deploy. Statusbrew has no equivalent — you deploy rules and hope they work.

7 platforms, one rules engine

Statusbrew supports 15+ platforms for publishing and analytics, but moderation depth varies by platform. The Social Tools offers deep moderation across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X, Reddit, and Discord — all from one rules engine.

Built for agencies

Multi-client workspaces, white-label ready dashboards, client-branded reports, and bulk account management. Statusbrew is a general-purpose SMM tool — The Social Tools is purpose-built for agencies managing moderation at scale.

Where Statusbrew still wins

We're transparent about where we stand. Statusbrew is a better fit if you need:

Full social media suite

Statusbrew includes publishing, scheduling, analytics, and social listening alongside moderation. The Social Tools focuses exclusively on comment moderation and engagement. If you need an all-in-one SMM platform, Statusbrew may be the better choice.

15+ platform publishing

Statusbrew supports publishing to 15+ platforms including Google Business Profile, Pinterest, and more. The Social Tools focuses on moderation depth across 7 core social platforms.

AI Copilot for content

Statusbrew's Premium plan includes AI Copilot for content creation, summarization, and translation. The Social Tools focuses AI on moderation and reply suggestions — not content creation.

How to switch from Statusbrew

  1. Start your free trial — no credit card required. You'll have full access to all features for 10 days.
  2. Connect your social accounts — OAuth with Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and more. Takes under a minute per platform.
  3. Recreate your moderation rules — map your Statusbrew automation rules to The Social Tools workflows. Our rule engine supports the same conditions (keywords, sentiment, authors, links) and more.
  4. Dry-run before deploying — run every workflow in observe mode, where it logs decisions on your real comments without acting. Confirm it catches what Statusbrew did — and more.
  5. Go live — switch on 24/7 automated moderation. Keep Statusbrew for publishing if needed; use The Social Tools for moderation.
