Hootsuite alternative
1ThreadsvsHootsuite
Hootsuite: an all-in-one social media suite for teams: publishing, analytics, inbox and listening. 1Threads: a scheduler and analytics dashboard built only for Threads.
Why Threads creators switch from Hootsuite
- Hootsuite has no free plan and starts at $99 per user a month (billed yearly). 1Threads has a free plan and Pro is $12 a month.
- Hootsuite says it can't support Threads polls. 1Threads schedules polls like any other post.
- If Threads is your main channel, you get a calmer tool that does one thing well instead of a suite you mostly don't use.
