Where Hootsuite falls short
Priced per person, billed yearly
Hootsuite's plans are per user: Standard is $99 a month per user, billed yearly, for 10 social accounts. Each person on the team is another seat.
More accounts cost a bigger plan
Standard holds 10 social accounts. Unlimited accounts come with Professional at $199 a month per user, and approvals with Advanced at $399.
A suite, when you mostly post
Hootsuite bundles publishing with an inbox, listening and employee advocacy. If you mainly publish and schedule, you pay for a lot you don't use.
Data run from Canada
Hootsuite is run from Canada. Its privacy policy names no hosting region and allows storage outside the EU under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or standard clauses.

Why post with Superbridger
One upload instead of six. Nothing that fails halfway. Your AI doing the posting. Every brand kept apart. And one price for all 6 platforms.
Your time back
Six uploads become one
One video a day to 6 platforms is 180 uploads a month by hand, in 6 apps with 6 sets of rules. With Superbridger it's 30. Each platform still gets its own format, and its own text where it's worth it.
See how it worksPeace of mind
It doesn't fail halfway
No more finding out at night that your video went live on four platforms and was refused by the fifth. Every video is checked against each platform's rules before anything goes out, a platform's hiccup is retried on its own, and you get an email only when something needs you.
See how it worksAI apps
Or just ask your AI
Tell Claude or ChatGPT to post this video everywhere tomorrow at 9. It takes the file from your computer, shows what each platform will get, and schedules it, all from the chat you already have open.
See how it worksBrands and clients
Never the wrong account
Every brand or client gets its own space, with its own accounts, hashtag sets and defaults. Switch in one click, and a client's video stays on that client's accounts.
