Fenfire plans
Each plan includes a verified brand workspace or creator identity with its own seats, connected profiles and image credits. Organic publishing is unlimited from Starter up, subject to fair use, and Creator includes 60 publishing actions a month. The live amounts are on the pricing page.
The destination is an exact account
You choose the exact connected account when you connect it, and that account stays attached to the post through review, scheduling and delivery. A platform name never stands in for the destination.
Approval and publishing stay separate
Draft, approval, schedule, delivery and failure are distinct states. An approved draft is not a published post, and nothing publishes itself once it is approved.
The same workspace works inside ChatGPT
A post can be briefed, approved and published from a conversation in the ChatGPT app, listed as Social Bee by HYVE until the rename is approved, which carries the same permissions, approvals and allowances as the product.
UAE and KSA moments are in the calendar
Regional public moments sit beside your own launches, Ramadan can be planned with real lead time, and Asia/Dubai scheduling stays visible while markets stay separate.

How to read this table.
The competitor column is a record of what their own pricing page printed on the check date, with the source link beside it. Anything the page did not state that day is marked as not checked instead of filled in. The Fenfire column is generated from the live plan catalog, so it cannot drift away from what you are charged.
