The difference
Most scheduling tools start in the calendar: pick a slot, fill in content. maebe flips that. Material lands in the media pool, gets curated with a traffic light, posts emerge from the good stuff — and only then comes the date, suggested by AI if you like.
Your client gets a link, sees the post exactly as it will go live and confirms by PIN. In every plan, even the free one. In Agorapulse, approval workflows start with Professional at $119 per user.
Separate accounts, media and permissions per client. Posting to the wrong client is structurally impossible, and new colleagues only see their own clients.
maebe is deliberately not a business cockpit. Planning, approving, publishing — every task has its place, and clients need no training to approve. Agorapulse, in turn, bundles inbox, listening, publishing and reporting in one per-user suite.
maebe learns from your own texts and your briefing. Caption drafts sound like you or your client, not like a generic prompt — processed by Mistral AI in France.
Best posting times from your own performance, complemented by the field of similar accounts. With Radar (from Pro) you also keep an eye on competitors.
German law, privacy policy and data processing agreement in German, storage at Hetzner in Germany, AI by Mistral from France. For clients with data-protection requirements that’s one line in the contract instead of a discussion.
Team members are included in the plan, clients pay nothing to approve and need no account. Prices in euros incl. VAT, German-language interface, German support. The price grows with your setup, not with every new colleague.
