About Hootsuite
Hootsuite is an enterprise social media management platform. It is powerful but expensive, complex to set up, and its AI features (OwlyWriter AI) focus on caption suggestions and repurposing rather than full brand-voice content generation.
Starting at $99/mo for the Standard plan (annual billing). Team features start at $249/mo. Enterprise pricing is custom and typically $1,000+/mo.
