Real stories from real people who switched from Hootsuite to Saki.
I was paying $99/mo for Hootsuite and barely using half the features. Switched to Saki's free plan and it covers everything I actually need. Batch-create on Sundays, the rest of the week runs itself.
Our agency was spending over $500/mo on Hootsuite seats. With Saki's workspaces and flat pricing, we manage 12 client brands for a fraction of the cost. Our engagement is up and our stress is down.
Switch from Hootsuite in under a minute. No credit card, no trial countdown, no per-user fees.
Everything you need to know before switching from Hootsuite.
Hootsuite Standard is $99/user/month (annual) or $149/month (monthly) for just 5 social accounts. Saki's free plan includes 20 posts/month and 2 workspaces. Starter, Pro, and Business plans are a fraction of Hootsuite's price, and none of them charge per user.
There's no direct Hootsuite import, but Saki auto-imports your last 30 days of posts from your connected social accounts. Most users are fully switched within a single session.
Saki supports Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, and Bluesky. LinkedIn support is coming soon. Hootsuite also supports YouTube and X (Twitter), which Saki does not yet offer.
