Looking for a Hootsuite alternative that your team can afford?
Hootsuite has become expensive and complex for what it offers. Trilo gives you content planning alongside chat, tasks, docs, and AI coworkers at a fraction of the cost.

Hootsuite raised prices significantly and the interface has grown complex. Teams paying $99 or more per month for social scheduling still need separate tools for chat and tasks. Trilo combines content planning with your full team workspace for $25 per month. Choose Hootsuite for enterprise social management. Choose Trilo for affordable social planning with team collaboration.
Why teams leave Hootsuite
Expensive for what you get
Hootsuite Professional starts at $99 per month for one user and 10 social accounts. The free plan was removed and pricing has increased sharply over the past two years.
Bloated interface
Hootsuite streams, boards, and analytics dashboards have become cluttered. Many users report the interface feels overwhelming and slow to navigate.
No team collaboration tools
Hootsuite manages social accounts but has no team chat, no task boards, and no collaborative docs. Your content team still needs Slack, Asana, and Notion.
Per-user pricing scales fast
Adding team members requires the Team plan at $249 per month for 3 users. A 5-person content team can easily hit $400 per month for social scheduling alone.
