Protect your brand with inbuilt security measures.

Learn how to use Hootsuite in their very own cohesive online Academy available for subscribers.

Prices and Plans FREE for the most basic plan which allows you to manage 3 different platforms in each place and limits the amount of scheduling you can do (although it is still a huge amount!)  Handy Tip: They tend to hide their free plan pretty well so when looking at plans simply scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and you’ll see a link to their free plan.  Paid plans for more platforms and users available from anywhere between £25-£520 per month.  Find out more here: https://hootsuite.com/plans/upgrade
Biggest Pro Having all your social media profiles and pages in one place to save you chopping and changing between apps and website.  It really helps you get the best out of your time.
Biggest Con If you have multiple companies running through Hootsuite there is currently no way to easily change between profiles so a bit of a faff involved in constantly logging in and out.  I reckon this will come soon though!
