Is FlashPosts a Hootsuite alternative?

Yes, for agencies and multi-location brands. FlashPosts covers the same week of work, from planning and client approval to publishing on ten networks, the inbox and client reports, at a flat price per plan rather than per person. Hootsuite goes further on social listening and enterprise features.

How much does Hootsuite cost for an agency?

On 9 November 2026 Hootsuite listed Professional at $199 per person a month, billed annually, with no cap on social accounts. Three people come to $597 a month and five to $995. Its Standard plan is cheaper but stops at 10 social accounts.

Can I move from Hootsuite to FlashPosts?

Yes. Connect each account to FlashPosts with its network’s own sign-in; there is nothing to export. FlashPosts imports each account’s past posts and figures where the network shares them, so your reports start with history.

How each one charges

Hootsuite charges per person who signs in. Its Standard plan stops at 10 social accounts, so a team running more than that needs Professional or above, each priced per person. Approval workflows start on Advanced.

FlashPosts charges per plan, for the whole workspace: Free for 3 accounts; Starter at $2.99 a month for 10 accounts and 2 people; Pro at $19 a month for 40 accounts and 5 people; Agency at $49 a month for unlimited accounts and 15 people. There’s no charge per person or per account, and no monthly post allowance.
