Hootsuite Price Increase – Will You Stay?
I’ve been a fairly devoted Hootsuite User (Pro Plan) for a few years, but received notice today that my annual cost is about to double from $600US a year to $1200. I know they’ve added some great analytics, which I really appreciate, but I don’t think it is worth an extra $600US (which is about $800 CDN). So I’m on the look for a new product. Ugh! So much work to do the analysis and conversion! (I guess that is what they are counting on.)
If you are a Hootsuite user – will you stay? If not, thoughts on the right alternative?

Cancelled hootsuite a while ago. There are so many great alternatives out there with better price plans, I just don’t see the value hootsuite brings for their price tag.
-
I’m gone. A 100% price increase is unacceptable and there are better and more affordable options out there.

I left when they did the double from $300 to $600.

I actually just switched my team from later (paid) to the meta scheduler. We hate meta but that scheduler is dope… and free… And posts passively on Instagram!

I’m the co-founder of a scheduling tool called OneUp
OneUp supports FB, IG, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YT, TikTok, and Google Business Profiles, and there is a Free Plan

No, I wouldn’t stay. They were already too expensive.

Wow, ours went up just a little bit, def not double

Sprout Social is best in the biz. If price is a concern, try Canva.

When they raised their prices the last time we had a lot of people come to RecurPost. We are seeing the same thing again this time. We sure love this new channel of traffic. lol.
​
If any of my fellow Redditors are exploring an alternative I will be happy to demo RecurPost to you and will offer a Reddit discount.

Nope, I’m not going to continue Hootsuite anymore. Now it’s out of my budget so hopefully, I’ll go for buffer.

I switched 2 years ago to mavsocial. I didn’t need a lot of reporting. I was on hootsuite for about 8 years prior to that. They were giving g me 50 social media account management for $10 a month until 2021. Happy I made the move.

Try SocialPika.

You can try SocialBu. It has almost all the features plus supports majority of social networks and it’s affordable as well as compared to Hootsuite.
Note: I am one of the cofounders of this tool.

Try slacksocial. You will love it.

No, not planning to renew.
