Software Version

Hootsuite Free

Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite Free

I used the Free version for my personal account and it did a great job of letting me manage my Twitter account, however was limited in many of the functions of the pro version such as managing multiple accounts. Overall it's a basic introduction of the Pro version, which is a better option if you need to schedule posts on multiple social platforms and more importantly seeing reports.
  • Twitter Posts
  • Seeing multiple social feeds in one place.
  • At first glance it looks like its easy enough to see all your feeds, but gets a little much, Sometimes the U/I was overwhelming to me compared to competitors.
We do not use HootSuite any more, we went with https://bufferapp.com/ which is cheaper and easier to use.
  • It did not hurt our business at all, anything that lets you manage multiple accounts in once place is always easy and efficient
  • bufferapp
We went with Buffer, gave us more functionality, and just worked!
We always seemed to have an issue with posting the same post on multiple social platforms. One post would post perfect, then others would fail and often.
Its good, just can be overwhelming, not HootSuite's fault, just how active your feeds can get.
HootSuite Free is well suited to manage multiple accounts.

Using Hootsuite Free

We did not renew.
