Hootsuite plans explained: the pricing tiers

Standard is $99 a user a month (billed annually) for one user and 10 accounts. Professional is $199/user/mo, and Advanced is $399/user/mo with unlimited accounts and bulk CSV import. Enterprise is quote-only, with no published price.

What sits behind Enterprise

Approvals, granular permissions and unlimited accounts effectively require the quote-only Enterprise tier — a real gate for agencies that need those features without committing to a custom contract.

SkedCast as an alternative

SkedCast includes per-client RBAC and approvals from the Studio tier up ($49/mo), with no enterprise minimum. See the full SkedCast vs Hootsuite comparison for the complete breakdown.
