A free plan that actually publishes
Hootsuite ended its free tier years ago. So-me Studio's Free plan is free forever, 10 posts/month, all 20 platforms, AI captions included, no credit card.
AI captions on every plan
Hootsuite's OwlyWriter is gated to higher tiers. So-me Studio includes AI captions, hashtags and post ideas on every plan, from 500 credits/month on Lite to unlimited on Advanced, with an allowance even on the free plan.
Per workspace, not per seat
Hootsuite charges per user and per social account. So-me Studio bundles your whole team and multiple client workspaces under one subscription, no per-seat creep.
A bio-link page in the box
Hootsuite doesn't ship a Linktree alternative. So-me Studio includes branded bio-link pages, starting free, with custom-domain support.
Post from any AI chatbot
Let Claude, ChatGPT or any AI agent draft, schedule and publish for you through So-me Studio's MCP server (200+ tools), REST API and CLI, from the Standard plan. Hootsuite has nothing comparable.

Switch in three steps
No import wizard needed, moving from Hootsuite is smaller than it sounds.
Connect your accounts
Connect the same social accounts in So-me Studio via each platform's official OAuth, no passwords shared, a couple of minutes per platform.
Let Hootsuite's queue drain
Anything already scheduled in Hootsuite still publishes from there. There's no hard cutover, run both side by side while the old queue empties.

Yes. The Free plan is free forever, 10 posts/month, all 20 platforms, AI captions, analytics and a bio-link page, no credit card. Hootsuite removed its free plan in 2023, so any Hootsuite tier costs at least $99/mo.
Yes. The Standard plan ($35/mo) includes 3 workspaces (one per client), team collaboration with OWNER/MEMBER roles and approval workflows. The Advanced plan adds unlimited workspaces and team seats, each workspace with its own logo and brand color.
Hootsuite doesn't expose a clean export, but you can connect the same accounts in So-me Studio and let existing scheduled posts publish from Hootsuite while you ramp down. Most teams switch over a few weeks without missing a post.
Hootsuite holds your historical analytics behind its paywall. So-me Studio starts capturing analytics the moment you connect an account and stores historical snapshots, pulling in as much past data as each platform's API exposes.
Yes. Every plan includes our AI caption, hashtag and post-idea generator, 500 credits/month on Lite, 2,000 on Standard and unlimited on Advanced, with a monthly allowance even on the free plan. OwlyWriter is gated to Hootsuite's paid tiers.
