Piano Amplifier (formerly SocialFlow)
Checked 26 Oct 2026 · source · 7 networks · API not stated · AI yes
Publishers and brands that want AI-timed social distribution that optimises when each post goes out.
You want public pricing or a calendar-first planner: Amplifier has no published prices and is positioned as AI-optimised distribution.
Overview
Piano Amplifier is the new name for SocialFlow. The product page calls it an AI-powered publishing tool that analyzes post content and audience behavior across many posts and social pages, then schedules future posts for periods of high audience engagement. The use cases it names are branded and sponsored content, lead generation, subscriber acquisition and traffic growth.
That makes it a distribution optimizer more than a calendar planner. The page lists enterprise account security, with user management, two-factor authentication and single sign-on, plus customizable options for strategy and teams and access to a team of experts. It does not describe the day-to-day posting interface in detail.
There is no pricing section on the pages I read, so my notes list a single Enterprise plan and no figures. Networks come from the Piano docs, whose guide titles name Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter, Threads and TikTok. That list is inferred from titles rather than a formal statement, so treat it as indicative. Apple News is reporting only.
What it does well
- Timing posts for audience engagement is the core idea.
- Single sign-on and two-factor authentication are listed.
- Aimed at publishers and brands with a lot of content.
- Seven networks are indicated in the docs.
What to watch out for
- No prices are published anywhere I read.
- The network list is inferred from documentation titles.
- I could not confirm an API.
- The page says little about calendar or collaboration features.
Plans and prices
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed annually, per month | Unit | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | Not published | Not published | custom | No public prices on the pages read; contact sales |
Free plan: No free plan
There is nothing to compare here: the pages I read show no plans, prices or limits, and my notes holds a single Enterprise entry with contact sales. Because the product is sold to publishers and brands as a managed service with access to a team of experts, I'd expect a custom contract, but the vendor does not say what the bill is based on. Ask what the pricing is metered by (pages, posts or accounts) before a call.
