Hootsuite vs Statusbrew

Which social media management tool is
right for you?

Statusbrew has 1:1 feature parity with Hoosuite and is generally lower priced for the same features, social channels, and team access. If you're hearing about Statusbrew for the first time, it's a good, modern, team-friendly software around $120/mo offering Hootsuite Enterprise-like features (approvals, saved replies, tags, automations, team reporting, etc).

The difference between Statusbrew & Hootsuite

Hootsuite, like other leading platforms (Sprout Social, Sprinklr, etc.), is not customer-friendly despite being a good enough platform. They are getting discovered (due to their ads on your social, their name in the media, and paid influencers talking about them).

Their incentive structure aligns with growing faster, which is okay, but not at the expense of upselling and raising prices for existing customers.

If you go to their website, you will see more and more references around Enterprise. Hootsuite even added an enterprise page to its website header. These plans are not cheap.

And constantly harassing existing customers by gatekeeping simple features in these plans and pushing people to upgrade or lock them in long contracts.

Do you think it's okay to pay $1000/mo for Approval workflows & labels?

This is no way to do business and would even shake the loyalists!

We know trust takes time—especially with a tool you’re likely hearing for the first time.

Trying something new isn’t easy. It takes time, effort, and a leap of faith. And if you’ve already had to make compromises with other tools, you probably don’t want to go through that again.

That’s why we won’t just tell you what we offer—we’ll show you.
On this page, there are detailed video walkthroughs, you can take a demo, start a chat or if you’d rather hear it from real people, you can. These folks gave us a chance when we were just starting out. We’re grateful—and they’re open to sharing their honest experience.

Whether you’re part of a growing agency, an enterprise org, or running things small—we’d be happy to connect you with someone in a similar space.

We’re here when you’re ready.

If you're under a Hootsuite contract, we can offer you a trial until your contract ends, so you don't have to pay for two tools.

Our primary reason for moving was costs but over time it has added so much to our work. It’s truly remarkable how things have changed.

Everyone from our content team has their own seats, which makes collaboration and reviews really easy. Sharing credentials wasn't ideal.

Support with our old tool was a nightmare—slow responses and constant upselling. It's a totally different experience with Statusbrew and it matters.

Why Statusbrew?

What Statusbrew won’t do…

Statusbrew is a powerful social management tool.
But part of what makes us special is what we won’t do, such as:

  • No Price Hikes, Ever: The price you sign up for is the price you keep. Forever.

  • No Upselling, No Sales Emails. You’ll hear from us only when it matters.

  • No Long Contracts. You're free to come and go as you please. No strings attached.

  • No Ignoring Feedback: We listen & evolve (in days) based on your needs.

  • No Complex Pricing. We'll recommend the best plan, even if it's a lower one.

  • No Waiting. Our CS team works across 4 timezones and responds within minutes.
