Our verdict
Hootsuite prices per user, and its higher tiers list unlimited accounts and approvals. SocialPatra charges per connected account and starts at $5 per month, so it costs less on the listed prices for one person or a small team. Pick Hootsuite if your team needs its approvals tier or you already work in it; check its page for the platform list, because the plans page does not show one.
Questions
How does SocialPatra pricing compare with Hootsuite?
The units differ: Hootsuite prices per user (USD 99 per user per month on Standard, billed annually, with 10 accounts), SocialPatra per connected account ($5 per month for two on Professional). Compare using your own number of users and accounts.
Who should pick Hootsuite instead?
Choose Hootsuite if you need its Advanced tier with approvals, or many users working on one set of accounts under a per-seat plan you already have.
