TrendSuite

Get started

Which edition you are on

TrendSuite ships in two editions from one codebase. Which one you get, what the agency edition adds, and how to tell them apart.

TrendSuite ships in two editions, both built from one codebase: TrendSuite, the main product, and the agency edition at its own address. They are the same product with a different amount of it switched on, so a fix lands in both at once and neither drifts from the other.

The main product is the one you are almost certainly on. It is what signing up for TrendSuite gives you. The agency edition is the larger one, and moving to it is a separate arrangement rather than a button (see the bottom of this page).

Until September 2026 the main product was labelled "TrendSuite Lite" in places, and the larger edition was "the full app". Those names are gone. If you meet them in an older screenshot or message, "Lite" means the main product and "the full app" means the agency edition.

Why the main product is the smaller one

Most people who want help posting consistently do not want a fourteen-screen marketing suite. The main product is the product for them: one path (describe a topic, get a plan, put it on the calendar, post it) with the surfaces that exist to manage scale removed, because at one brand and one person there is no scale to manage.

It is not a trial and not a crippled build, and it is not a step down from something else. It is the product, sized for the person using it. The agency edition is what you move to when you are running many client brands, and it adds the surfaces below rather than unlocking them.

What the main product includes

The whole authoring path: the dashboard, ideas, content plans, posts, the calendar, comments on your own posts, brand and voice, connected accounts and settings. Client approvals appear for the plans that include them.

The Inbox is in the main product as well. It was switched off here once and is not any more, so an older description that leaves it out is out of date rather than describing a different plan.

On the main product, automation lives at Auto DM: when someone comments a word on your post, we send them a message. Its results sit under it, at Auto DM > Results. It is the same engine as the agency edition's automation builder, so the main product has no separate Automations row: two rows for one feature was more confusing than helpful. On a plan that includes automation, Auto DM's More automations link opens the builder for the other triggers, such as a new follower or a story mention. Automation is a paid feature on both editions, so what you can switch on depends on your plan, not on your edition.

What each edition has that the other does not

Everything else is in both.

Only in the agency edition

  • Clients
  • Studio
  • Posting Times
  • Automation Schedules
  • Contacts
  • Segments
  • Broadcasts
  • Growth Tools
  • Automations
  • Automation Analytics

Only in the main product

  • Auto DM
  • Auto DM results

Generated from the deployment configuration, so it cannot drift from what each edition actually draws.

Clients is the agency board across every client brand, so the first thing you see is which client needs you today rather than one brand's summary. The rest are the surfaces that exist for multi-brand, multi-person or high-volume work: the visual editor, the rest of the audience CRM, and cadence tuning for a multi-platform schedule.

Nothing here is hidden behind a teaser. On the main product the rows are absent and the URLs redirect to the dashboard rather than showing a 404, because our own lifecycle emails link to some of them.

That table is generated from the deployment configuration rather than written out, because the written version was wrong: it claimed Performance and Automation analytics were agency-only for some time after both were turned on for the main product.

How to tell which one you are on

The clearest answer is the address: the agency edition is at its own, and it is one you were given deliberately, so if you are on it you already know.

In the sidebar, look for Clients and Studio. Either one present means the agency edition; both absent means the main product, which is the usual answer.

Do not go by Performance, and do not go by the shape of the menu. Both editions have Performance now, and the main product keeps the same grouped sidebar including an Audience group, since the Inbox and Comments are in it.

Reading these docs on the main product

This documentation covers the whole product, and pages about an agency-only surface say so at the top. Nothing is hidden from you for being on the main product: seeing what the larger edition does is the point.

Moving between them

The two editions are separate deployments, not a setting inside your account. Moving from the main product to the agency edition is a change to which application you use, not an upgrade button; contact support and we will sort it out.
