Loomly vs. Hootsuite
Get more room to plan, approve, and report without climbing Hootsuite's plan ladder.
Start With More Accounts
Hootsuite Standard includes 10 social accounts. Loomly Starter gives your team 12.
Approve Without the Upgrade
Hootsuite lists approval workflows on Advanced. Loomly Starter lets you set custom roles and approval workflows.
Advanced Analytics on Starter
Hootsuite reserves custom performance reports for Professional+. Loomly Starter gives you Advanced Analytics after you schedule five posts.
It is easy to schedule posts for LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram together. I was using Hootsuite previously, and it wasn't easy to do all 3 at once, especially with an Instagram Creator account. Also, the cost of Loomly is much better than Hootsuite.
