Social Media Tool Provisions I Check First

Your social media tool depends on platform APIs that can change anytime. Know the risks and limitations.

Platform API Dependencies

High Risk

When Instagram or X changes their API, features disappear overnight. Tools disclaim responsibility for third-party platform changes.

Look for: Third-party API disclaimers, feature availability caveats, and platform dependency risks.

Account Connection Risks

High Risk

Connecting accounts grants broad permissions. If the tool is compromised, hackers could post as you or access your messages.

Look for: Permission scopes, security liability, and breach notification policies.

Posting & Scheduling Limits

Medium Risk

Scheduled posts per month are capped, even on paid plans. Exceed limits and posts won't publish—often without warning.

Look for: Monthly post limits, scheduling queue size, and overage handling.

Social Profile Limits

Medium Risk

Plans limit connected social profiles. Managing 10 accounts? You might need the enterprise tier at 5x the cost.

Look for: Profile limits per tier, add-on pricing, and channel restrictions.

Analytics Data Retention

Medium Risk

Historical analytics may only go back 30-90 days unless you're on premium plans. Downgrade and you lose access to history.

Look for: Data retention periods, export options, and post-cancellation access.

Content Ownership

Medium Risk

Content you upload for scheduling may be used by the platform for AI training or examples. Check licensing terms carefully.

Look for: Content licenses, usage rights, and AI/ML training policies.
