I’ve had Hootsuite since the inception and frankly I’ve loved their service! So when I went to login today and found I couldn’t I was like wtf! As usual, I’m late catching up on the latest uptakes! Normally I login and set up my next months worth of post the last week of the month. This month however trying to login and catch up simply wasn’t working. It seems I missed the official announcement that Hootesuite has a new pricing plan.
How am I going to handle this, well if I can recover my account I plan on trying the free version which allows 5 social networks and 1 RSS feed. However I know there are other alternatives like for example; Tweetdeck & Seesmic but I also know neither offer the features of HootSuite. Which offers time-posting your content making it easy to setup a full months worth of facebook or twitter post as well as rss feed posting & letting team members join to help you in monitoring and posting — something tells me switching to the new pay structure may just be in my future. You can check out the plans here: http://hootsuite.com/plans.
The packages range from free to $99 a month. The only thing you get for free going forward is 5 accounts, 1 RSS feed and no additional team members. You’ll also have to deal with ads being placed in your Twitter stream.
The features Hootesuite offers makes for a very compelling case to join those who are now paying for the service. Personally I’m frugal so I find it hard to start paying for a formerly-free service however If the 5 accounts limit becomes an issue I may just have to do it! Did you switch to the payment plan?
