The calendar is a real working surface: drag-and-drop in weekly and monthly views, three scheduling routes including a queue that Autopilot can timetable, and repeating posts that expire by date or count. What decides the number is the overnight-failure question — we found no public information on failure notifications, retries, bulk import, per-network text variants or previews, and the nearest thing to failure handling is a prompt asking whether to publish now after you drag a post into the past. 4 5

Seven networks can be connected, but the documented inbox covers Facebook business pages only — comments, questions and page direct messages with threading, PNG and JPEG attachments, and a reviewed/unreviewed status that marks itself when you answer, plus an escape hatch to jump into Facebook natively. That is a single-network queue with a rudimentary status; we found no public information on assignment, internal notes, helpdesk escalation, or a per-person history spanning networks. 2 7

Thirty-one help-centre articles cover per-network insights for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and TikTok, ad performance reports alongside organic, CSV and JSON export, and scheduled recurring reports delivered daily, weekly or monthly by email, HTTP or SFTP with dynamic date ranges — delivery an agency can genuinely wire into its own systems. They also document how their own metrics differ from the networks' native numbers, which is rarer than it should be; we found no public information on custom dashboards, UTM-based attribution, or retention beyond the platforms' own windows. 1 8 9

There is exactly one approval step — a toggle in the editor, proposed posts that will not go out unapproved, and an email nudge when a client misses the deadline — though once the deadline passes the button changes to publish now, so the gate is time-limited rather than hard. Permissions appear as a homepage bullet plus one working instance in report scheduling, and the approval feature sits in unnamed subscription plans; we found no public information on multi-step chains, comments on drafts, or an audit trail of who approved what. 1 9 10

Eight networks appear across the captured pages — Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, Google Business Profile, YouTube, TikTok — and only YouTube is stated to connect through the official API; for the rest we found no public information on the integration method. To the credit the evidence shows, the March 2024 Facebook metric deprecation is written up with exactly which numbers changed, and TikTok's AI-disclosure requirement is supported, which is the vendor doing something after a platform moved. Beyond that we found no public information on an integration status page, advance notice of deprecations, or export of the publishing and engagement archive itself. 2 3 12 13

The contracting entity is PromoRepublic Oy of Helsinki under Finnish law with venue in the District Court of Helsinki, and the privacy policy states personal data is processed at the company's offices in the European Economic Area — but the same sentence continues into any data processing facilities operated by the service providers, with adequacy decisions and standard contractual clauses cited for transfers outside the EEA, so the chain visibly extends past the border. We found no public subprocessor list — the only named provider is Braintree for payments — and the AI assistant's providers are unnamed with no location stated, while a Palo Alto address also sits on the vendor's own site. 2 3

The public pricing page states no prices, and the terms fill in only the mechanics — monthly or annual billing charged in advance, taxes not included, no fee increase mid-subscription, cancellation three days before renewal — so every tier is a sales conversation. The approval feature is documented as excluded from some unnamed subscription plans, which means a buyer cannot even see from public pages where governance begins. 1 2 10
