Switch from Hootsuite to SocialPatra
SocialPatra is a Hootsuite alternative that publishes to 18 live platforms and prices a workspace by the accounts you connect, with approvals on every plan and automation built in.
Free plan, no charge 18 live platforms Approvals, API and MCP
Hootsuite prices per user, so the bill rises with every person you add. Teams that mostly write, approve and publish posts usually want a calendar, an approval step and automation at a price that follows their accounts.
SocialPatra is built for that. Hootsuite figures on this page come from Hootsuite’s public pages, read on 22 October 2026.
Why people look past Hootsuite
Price per user. Hootsuite states paid plans from $99 per user a month on annual billing, so the bill rises with every person you add. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial. Its FAQ lists nine supported networks.
How to switch from Hootsuite
Create a free account
The Free plan has no charge, so Hootsuite can keep running while you set up.
Connect your accounts
Link each profile you publish to, plus any blog or community you post on.
Rebuild your queue
Bring upcoming posts over with a CSV, or recreate them in the composer.
Invite your team and turn on approvals
Add members and set who approves posts before they go out. Export past reports from Hootsuite before you cancel.
Why SocialPatra is the switch
One calendar for 18 live platforms, including blogs, developer sites and community spaces such as WordPress, Medium, Dev.to, Hashnode, Reddit, Discord, Slack and Telegram. Approvals on every plan: request a review, then approve, reject or ask for changes before a post goes out. Automation that saves hours: RSS auto-posting, recurring posts, evergreen recycling and bulk CSV scheduling. A REST API and a hosted MCP server on every paid plan, so your own scripts and AI assistants can schedule for you. Pricing that follows your accounts: a small base plan plus a low fee for each extra account and member, not a price per user.
