Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite
Hootsuite is a great cost effective tool for small businesses to get started and scale up from there. The free version includes plenty of great tools to get you started as you build your business. You can start out with big business tolls at small business prices. I use it to manage my social media accounts to save time and plan ahead so I can focus on the things I need to and not worry about marketing.
- Tools to help you get started
- Easy to navigate Admin Panel
- Robust free version
- Comprehensive help center
- They could have a version in between the free and professional in the $29 range
- Contend Library not available until the Business Plan which is a substantial cost.
- Message Approvals not included until upgrade to the Business Plan as well.
- Engaging Content
- Saves Time Posting
- Relevant Resources
Social Pilot has a few more features at the first paid plan that make it appealing to businesses with a smaller budget. Social Pilot does not have a free starter plan that allowed me to fully test out all the features I needed in order to make a decision and I felt the Dashboard was a little easier to navigate.
