Why Socinova Is the Better Social Media Partner
Small businesses comparing affordable social media options often come across 98 Buck Social and Socinova. While 98 Buck Social attracts attention with its name and simple post-based plans, Socinova delivers a truly end-to-end social media management experience — with strategy, community management, SEO blogs, email newsletters, and integrated advertising all built in. At the same price point, Socinova gives businesses significantly more value, more platforms, and a dedicated growth partner rather than a content scheduler.

What is 98 Buck Social
98 Buck Social is a Florida-based social media management service founded in 2015. It offers simple post-based subscription plans starting at $149/month, focused primarily on creating and scheduling graphics, captions and hashtags across social platforms. While the service includes a dedicated social media pro and content review, its core model revolves entirely around post volume — with videos, advertising, blogs, community management and strategy all sold as separate add-ons or entirely absent. This makes 98 Buck Social a content scheduling tool rather than a full-service growth agency.

98 Buck Social
Social Media Content Creation
Although 98 Buck Social positions itself as a complete social media solution, its base plans exclude most features businesses need to grow. There is no community management, no strategy consultation, no SEO blog, no email newsletter, and advertising is a completely separate paid product.
Post-Volume Pricing Model
Plans are differentiated only by the number of posts and videos per month — 10, 16 or 18 posts — with no strategic or growth-focused differentiation between tiers.
No Community Management
None of 98 Buck Social's plans include replying to comments, messages or online reviews. Audience engagement is left entirely to the business owner.
No SEO Blogs or Email Newsletters
Neither blogs nor email newsletters are part of any standard plan. Content strategy beyond social posting is simply not offered.
Advertising Is a Completely Separate Service
Facebook Ads start at $449/month + $98 setup fee and Google Ads at $498/month — these are standalone products, not integrated into the social media plans in any way.
How Socinova Outperforms 98 Buck Social
Broader content and channel coverage
98 Buck Social's Beginner plan delivers 10 posts and 2 videos per month starting at $149/month. Socinova's Trial plan at $99/month already delivers 12 posts across Facebook and Instagram — more content for less money. Socinova's Growth plan scales to 30 posts plus 4 videos across eight major networks — Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Google Business, TikTok, Pinterest and YouTube — all included at a flat rate with no per-platform fees.
Integrated advertising and content strategy
98 Buck Social sells its Facebook Ads and Google Ads as entirely separate services starting at $449/month each, with an additional $98 setup fee. Socinova's Growth package integrates social media advertising on Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube or Google with $100 ad spend already included in the $500/month plan. Clients get organic content and paid campaigns managed by the same team, reinforcing each other rather than operating in silos.
Community management & priority support
None of 98 Buck Social's plans include community management — responding to comments, messages or reviews is entirely the client's responsibility. Socinova includes comment and message replies from the Standard plan onwards, and the Growth plan adds review management. Socinova also provides unlimited chat, email and phone support with a named dedicated account manager on every plan.
Ongoing strategy and analytics
98 Buck Social focuses on content delivery without published strategy consultations or monthly analytics reviews in its plans. Socinova includes an initial campaign strategy in all plans and adds monthly analytics reports plus strategy consultations in the Advanced and Growth packages — ensuring campaigns continuously improve based on real performance data.
Greater experience and proven results
98 Buck Social has served 10,000+ businesses since 2015. Socinova has been operating since 2014, actively serves 200+ clients per year, manages over 1,800 social accounts and has generated 75,580+ leads for clients. With 425,000+ hours of expertise and 11 years of continuous operation, Socinova brings deeper institutional knowledge and more hands-on involvement per client.
Flexible, value‑packed pricing
98 Buck Social's Beginner plan is $149/month — $50 more than Socinova's Trial plan — yet includes fewer posts, no strategy, no blogs, no community management and no advertising. To match Socinova's Growth plan ($500/month), a 98 Buck Social client would need the MAXX plan ($498/month) plus Facebook Ads ($449/month + setup) plus video add-ons — totalling well over $1,000/month. Socinova delivers all of this in a single transparent plan.

Doing social media management for more than 9 years now, we have strong internal processes to ensure a quality output.
All our staff is trained in social media management and has years of experience in the field. Our editing process is also thorough to ensure that all content is checked by a second pair of eyes before it is published.
Your account manager will be posting content on your profiles as per the details you submitted and the discussions with you. Hence, usually the content we publish is in-line with your ideas. But, if you don’t like any piece of content posted by us, you can just notify the same to your account manager and we’ll take care of it. We encourage our clients to give us the feedback about content as often as possible. Let it be good or bad. We always want to make sure that our posting style matches your brand voice on social media.
Yes, definitely. You can just send them to your Socinova account manager. Your account manager will schedule them as required.
We’re sorry, but we currently only work with the English language. However, we can arrange a translator for an additional fee or send the content to you for translation prior to scheduling.
Yes, you get to approve the posts in advance every month.
Yes. To maintain consistency over the various social media platforms, we’ll create and post the same content on all networks. But rest assured that the captions i.e. the text of the post will be optimised for certain platforms like Twitter and Instagram.
Yes, you can be sure. All the content that we post will be specially crafted for your business by a trained content specialist to engage your audience. Even though we provide ‘affordable’ social media marketing services, there is no compromise on quality whatsoever.
After you order your Socinova plan, we’ll ask you a few quick questions about your business. Your answers will help your manager understand what you do, your industry, target audience, brand voice etc. With that information available, your account manager will research your website, previous social media posts, related links and about everything else that is required for our social media posting services. They’ll also email you giving an idea about the content we’ll be posting to get your feedback.
You can simply upload them to a folder on your Dropbox or Google Drive and share the link with us! We’ll use those in the content.
Yes. They are yours, after all! We’ll take care of your social media, but you can always engage if you would like to!
