Hootsuite Tripled Their Prices.

Does This Sound Like Your Monday Morning?
"My Hootsuite bill went up. Again."
Three price hikes since 2021. Their "Standard" plan? Now $99/month. Per user. That quiet $23/month tool you signed up for? Gone.
"I just need approval workflows. Why is that $249?"
Bulk scheduling. Custom reports. Team approvals. Basic stuff. Hootsuite calls it "Advanced" and charges accordingly. Per. User.
"We hired someone. Our bill doubled."
Per-user pricing punishes growth. Add a teammate, pay the tax. Build a team, break the budget.
"OwlyWriter sounds like... everyone else."
Generic AI. Generic voice. Generic posts that disappear into the algorithm because they sound exactly like the 50 other brands using the same tool.
You're not imagining it. And you're not alone.
Since Hootsuite tripled their prices in 2023, over 12,000 social media managers have started looking for something better. Something that respects their work — and their wallet.

What Switchers Are Saying
"I was paying $450/month for three users on Hootsuite. Beacon does everything we needed — and things we didn't know we needed — for $49. I felt stupid for waiting so long."
— Rachel M., Marketing Director
"The AI difference is real. OwlyWriter gave me LinkedIn cringe. Fingerprint actually sounds like our brand. Our engagement went up 34% in the first month."
— Derek T., Social Media Manager
"I submitted a support ticket at 9am. Had a real answer by 9:47am. Not a bot. A person. I almost cried."
— Samantha L., Agency Owner
