What SocialCTL is
SocialCTL is a web and API workspace for planning, creating, reviewing, scheduling and publishing social content organized by brand. It can draft a monthly calendar from a business brief and generate MP4 reels, 3–12 slide carousels and static posts using a saved brand kit. Content can go through client approval links before scheduling. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube are listed as live connections; Pinterest is in review, while Threads, X and Discord are in verification. A live Claude integration over MCP supports planning, generating, scheduling and publishing workspace content. The free plan includes 150 signup credits and a six-day full trial, but AI generation requires credits, and a paid plan after the trial and welcome credits. Monthly plans are Starter at $19 a month, Growth at $49 a month and Scale at $99 a month. One-time credit packs start with the Starter pack at $19, paid once. A reel uses 150 credits, a carousel 100 credits and a static post 50 credits; workspace limits and credit allowances vary by plan.

SocialCTL may suit solo founders, small businesses, creators, coaches, e-commerce brands, restaurants and agencies that need a brand-based publishing workflow. Its approval links and workspace allowances are relevant for teams handling multiple brands or client content.
