SocialDog is a powerful X/Twitter growth suite — but its deepest tools are X-only, its cheaper tiers cap you at a single X profile, and it skips LinkedIn, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Google Business. SocialKit covers all 11 platforms evenly on one flat EUR plan.

TL;DR — the quick verdict
Credit where it's due: On X/Twitter, SocialDog’s depth is genuine: follower and unfollower management, inactive-account tracking, keyword monitoring and social listening, contest/campaign tools, and scheduling of reposts and replies — a growth toolkit built around Twitter that SocialKit does not try to replicate. It is also the category leader in Japan, with a large Japanese-language help center and blog.

The basics
SocialDog is a Japan-origin social media management tool, established in 2016 and operated by SocialDog, Inc. (formerly AutoScale, Inc.) in Tokyo. It built its reputation as an all-in-one tool for X/Twitter marketing — scheduling, follower and unfollower management, keyword monitoring, and analytics — and has since added Instagram, Facebook, Threads, YouTube, and TikTok publishing, though its deepest features remain X-specific. SocialDog offers a free plan plus four paid USD tiers — Personal at about $14/month (about $9 billed annually), Professional at about $64/month (about $49 annually), Business at about $199/month (about $149 annually), and Enterprise at about $399/month (about $299 annually) — with lower tiers capped at a single X/Twitter profile and a 7-day trial on each paid tier (verified on SocialDog’s English pricing page, June 2026). It also bills in JPY, where the structure differs and the Enterprise tier is quote-based.
SocialDog grew up as a Twitter growth tool, and its standout features still only work there. Follower and unfollower management, inactive-follower tracking, keyword monitoring and social listening, contest/campaign tools, and scheduling of reposts and replies are all X-only; the cross-network features — post management, account analytics, account management — cover only a subset of X, Instagram, and Facebook (as of June 2026). If you run more than X, the growth toolkit you are paying for does not follow you to your other channels.
See SocialDog’s feature pagesSocialDog covers six networks — X, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, YouTube, and TikTok — but not LinkedIn, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon, or Google Business (as of June 2026). And on the free, Personal, and Professional tiers it caps you at a single X/Twitter profile; the extra “2” or “3” profile slots are how you connect the non-X networks. If your mix includes any of the unsupported networks, SocialDog simply cannot post there — and even on the networks it does cover, the depth is uneven.
See SocialDog’s plansUnlimited scheduling does not arrive until Professional (about $49/month billed annually); Personal caps you at 30 scheduled posts. Even the ~$149/month-annual Business tier includes only 5 social profiles, and Enterprise tops out at 10 (as of June 2026). Profiles, scheduling volume, keyword monitors, analytics retention, and team seats each unlock one tier up. JPY pricing follows a different structure again, and Enterprise in Japan is quote-based rather than a fixed price — so the headline number and the working number can diverge.
Compare SocialDog plansSocialDog is the category leader in Japan, but its English presence is a secondary, thinner layer — its English help and blog content lag the Japanese originals. Separately, some users report on G2 and Capterra that the breadth of features carries a learning curve, that follower-data sync can be slow, that you cannot swap an image after a post is created, and that report customization is limited. These are review-sourced experiences rather than verified product facts, but they are worth weighing if English-language support and a gentle on-ramp matter to you.
Feature deep-dive
SocialDog covers six networks — X, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, YouTube, and TikTok — and on X it goes deeper than almost anyone: follower management, keyword monitoring, contests, and reposts/replies scheduling. But it does not cover LinkedIn, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon, or Google Business (as of June 2026).
SocialKit covers all 11 platforms — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, Mastodon, and Google Business — and covers them evenly, with the same publishing tools on every network. The deep X features are real, but if your audience lives on LinkedIn, Pinterest, or the open-web fediverse, SocialDog simply cannot reach them, and even on the networks it does cover, the X toolkit does not cross over. Coverage that is uneven by design is the trade-off you are weighing here.
Let us be fair: SocialDog’s Twitter toolkit is the reason it has a following. Follower and unfollower management, inactive-account tracking, keyword monitoring and social listening, contest and campaign tools, and scheduling of reposts and replies add up to a real X growth suite. SocialKit does not try to replicate that — it is a publisher, not an account-growth and listening platform, and if managing and growing an X account is half your job, that toolset is a legitimate reason to stay.
The catch is that none of it crosses networks. The cross-platform features cover only a subset of X, Instagram, and Facebook, so the moment your strategy spreads to LinkedIn, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon, or Google Business, you are back to plain publishing — on networks SocialDog may not even support. SocialKit’s bet is the opposite: every platform gets the same scheduling, customization, first-comment, and thread tools, so breadth is even rather than concentrated on one network.
SocialDog offers a free plan, then four paid USD tiers: Personal at about $14/month (about $9 billed annually) for 2 profiles — only one of them X — and 30 scheduled posts; Professional at about $64/month (about $49 annually) for 3 profiles, unlimited posts, and 5 keyword monitors; Business at about $199/month (about $149 annually) for 5 profiles, 10 monitors, and up to 5 team members; and Enterprise at about $399/month (about $299 annually) for 10 profiles, 30 monitors, and up to 20 members. JPY pricing is structured differently and the Japanese Enterprise tier is quote-based (as of June 2026).
SocialKit Solo is €29/month flat (€17.40/month billed annually) and includes 15 social accounts across all 11 platforms, unlimited scheduled posts, analytics, AI on every plan, and API + webhooks — three times Personal’s 5-profile-equivalent ceiling, without the single-X cap and without a climb to unlock unlimited scheduling.
Prices were read on SocialDog’s English pricing page in June 2026; they also bill in JPY and the two structures are not 1:1, so check current rates when you decide.
SocialDog packages analytics retention as a deliberate paywall lever: roughly 2 weeks on Free, 1 year on Personal, 2 years on Professional, and unlimited on Business, with PowerPoint report generation and CSV export reserved for the higher tiers. Its account analytics cover X and Instagram (as of June 2026). For an X-first marketer who lives in follower and impression data, that depth is a fair part of the pitch.
SocialKit includes analytics on every plan — growth, engagement, and best times to post across all 11 platforms — without metering how far back you can look by tier. The difference is philosophy: SocialDog sells deeper retention and report exports up the ladder, while SocialKit treats analytics as included plumbing in service of publishing broadly.
SocialDog is the leading X/Twitter tool in its home market, with a large Japanese-language help center and blog and named Japanese enterprise customers. That is genuine strength if you operate in Japanese. In English, though, the surface is thinner: the English site is a secondary layer and the English help and blog content visibly lags the Japanese originals.
For an English-speaking team, the practical effect is fewer up-to-date docs and a steeper self-serve on-ramp — and some users report on G2 and Capterra that the breadth of features already carries a learning curve. SocialKit is English-native with a focused, scheduling-first interface that most people are publishing from within minutes of signing up.
SocialDog’s team seats arrive only at the top: up to 5 members on Business and up to 20 on Enterprise, with no seats on Free, Personal, or Professional (as of June 2026). Approval workflows and comments on posts are not itemized on its published pricing page. SocialKit’s Team plan is a flat €49/month (€29.40/month billed annually) with 30 social accounts, 2 seats (extra teammates €2 each, extra accounts €4 each), an approval flow, and comments on posts — collaboration that does not require an Enterprise-grade plan.
On automation, SocialDog does not market an end-user API or webhooks, while SocialKit ships API access and webhooks on every plan including Solo, ready for Zapier, Make, and n8n without a tier upgrade. If your stack depends on connecting your scheduler to other tools, that is a clean difference.

Verified on SocialDog’s English pricing page, June 2026: Personal at ~$14/month (~$9/month billed annually) covers 2 social profiles — only one of them X/Twitter — and 30 scheduled posts. Unlimited scheduling and keyword monitoring start at Professional (~$64/month, ~$49 annual); Business ~$199/month (~$149) and Enterprise ~$399/month (~$299). A free plan is available; JPY pricing differs and JP Enterprise is quote-based.
SocialKit Solo is €29/month flat (€17.40/month billed annually) with 15 social accounts across all 11 platforms and unlimited posts — versus 2 profiles and 30 posts on SocialDog Personal, or the ~$49/month-annual Professional tier just to lift the post cap (as of June 2026). The flat EUR price stops moving as you add networks.

An honest answer: it depends on how you work. Here's the short version.
I highly recommend this platform! Unlike Hootsuite, I can confidently manage multiple accounts without worrying about surprise billing.
I love its pricing the most, it gives really good value for money. It's significantly lower cost than the big name alternatives with fewer restrictions on the qty of accounts/staff.
