| The verdict | Hootsuite is a veteran social scheduling tool that still works well for managing multiple platforms from one calendar. |
| Free tier | No free tier listed. A trial may be available. |
| Best for | Podcasts running a real social calendar across several platforms with more than one person posting. |
| Not the best fit | Solo hosts who just need to schedule a few posts a week, it's overkill and overpriced for that. |
| The gotcha | Pricing jumped significantly in recent years and the entry plan now covers fewer social profiles than it used to. |
| Public plans | Read public plan notes
|
| Pricing notes | No additional note in the catalog. |
