I think the two are extremely comparable, however, the social listening on sprout is more advanced and they can use your account data from up to two years back. Hootsuite is B Corporation though, which is preferred for our vendors.
We typically use Kijiji as well for posting ads, however there is a limited number of ads you're able to post without having the buy the full version. Hootsuite allows us to post more free ads, more often.
Hootsuite lacks many features as i've said before. I think their reporting is also not as great as other platforms. I find the interface really messy and hard to navigate. The metrics also vary a lot between platforms which makes comparing success between channels very …
Hootsuite offers more platforms and also more control over any of the competitors we evaluated. For our current business and customer needs, Hootsuite was and is a much better fit. We use the pro level, and right now, it has enough options and features to ensure proper …

Hootsuite is the first CMS tool for social media that the company as used. We've been very happy with it that we haven't felt the need to try anything else.

Overall, Hootsuite is very similar to Sprout Social. some of the analytics are a little different, but the posting process is similar. Sprout does have a social listening too, but i can't remember how it compares to Hootsuite.
It allowed for more post at once and Hootsuite also has tiktok. The app for Linley was not as effective and the webpage was nog as easy to navigate as Hootsuite is. Hootsuite has truly been, and all around better experience than Loomly and I will continue to purchase it, even …
Hootsuite is definitely the most cost effective of the bunch for the goals that my clients have. The AI caption generation is also perfect for cutting down on time. Caption creation actually takes up a lot of time in the scheduling process for content and this feature made …
Hootsuite's ability to post to all the channels we need is far above what Meltwater offered. Hootsuite also goes above and beyond in the category of analytics too. Hootsuite's custom report is far more detailed and easily digestible than Meltwater's. I would say that Hootsuite …
Hootsuite's free account was sufficient for use on behalf of our client. When they restructured their pricing model and eliminated free and affordable subscriptions suitable for a small business, we found that Zoho Social was an excellent replacement. The interface was simpler …
Hootsuite is the best of these options, as the layout is better and connection to platforms [is] easier. The free version is pretty good too, but the paid version is even better. Lots of options and just an overall great time using Hootsuite compared to other platforms we have …
Improvements to the user interface and responsiveness to user needs. Real-time messaging to alert users of network or functionality issues - I know you have my back. Constantly striving for user feedback to improve the product. You are client-centric.
We selected Hootsuite Enterprise because it gave us the greatest access to various social media platforms, the simplest and most robust team settings, and ongoing support that clearly indicates they are keeping up with the evolving social media environment.

Since graduating from college 3 years ago, I have only ever used Hootsuite in the 2 jobs I have had. I don't see myself switching to another product.
Given the (A) specific, early-stage social media strategy and (B) recommendation from an seasoned social media expert, we choose Hootsuite Directly without any further advanced analyses. For an advanced user, we recommend testing atleast 2-3 more competitors and assessing their …
We previously used Loomly as a social media publisher, it was convenient but we did not like the interface. Overall we found that we liked Hootsuite as a publisher better. Loomy did offer a feature where you could boost your posts right from your portal which was convenient. …
Hootsuite’s free service is most useful to me at this time as social media management does not have a large budget within my business. However, they are no longer offering it at this time which has led me to go to another service. Over the years, Hootsuite has been taking away …
I use Meta Business Suite to schedule posts for Facebook and Instagram as it is free to use and there is no restriction on how many posts can be scheduled. It also shows analytics of how well posts are doing, optimal posting times and who our audience consists. I do like how I …
