Hootsuite pricing vs Postdom
Hootsuite pricing pays for a suite your team uses to schedule, answer messages, listen and report on posts you make. Postdom makes the posts: paste your website and your For You feed fills with ready-to-post videos, slideshows and single images in your brand.
| Hootsuite | Postdom | |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | No free plan. | Free: 1 post a month, made for you, on 2 accounts on any platform. No card. |
| Entry paid plan | Standard: $99 per user a month, billed annually. | Starter: $39 a month for 30 posts (about $1.30 a post), or $390 a year. |
| Team plan | Advanced: $399 per user a month, billed annually, for team approvals. | Growth: $99 a month for 60 posts, 10 accounts and 10 seats. |
| How the price grows | Per user, and by plan for more social accounts. | One price per plan. Seats are included, and every post can be any format. |
| Who makes the posts | Your team makes the posts. Hootsuite schedules and manages them. | Postdom makes the posts from your website: videos, slideshows and single images in your brand. |
Nothing posts on Postdom until you approve it, and it learns from every approve, edit and skip.
Pick Hootsuite if a shared inbox, social listening and reporting across many accounts are the job, and your team already makes the content. Pick Postdom if you have a website and no content team.
Free Hootsuite alternative
Postdom Free gives you 1 post a month, made for you from your website, on 2 accounts on any platform. No card needed. Nothing posts until you approve it.
That makes Postdom a free Hootsuite alternative for a small business that needs posts made, not a free scheduler. If you need a free tool to schedule posts you already make, Hootsuite does not offer one.
