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).
Working with some of the best, used daily by 5157+ teams
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!

Statusbrew covers everything in publishing (compared to Hootsuite) and brings in industry-first planning features, so you don't have to rely on Notion, Airtable, etc.
Encouraging the community, prioritizing the important customers, keeping out the spam, and getting to Inbox Zero—Hootsuite is just not an efficient system for that.

We've created a product that's easier, faster, cheaper, and a lot better than Hootsuite. We think we've succeeded, and some people agree.
The interface of Statusbrew is easier than Hootsuite. Also, in terms of features, it currently leads the market.
The onboarding and support around Statusbrew makes it easier to understand. Can’t recommend enough!
