What Hootsuite does well
Hootsuite is a mature, broad social management platform: listening, monitoring, analytics, and large-team governance. For enterprises managing brand presence at scale, that breadth matters.
One capture, the whole week
Hootsuite helps you manage what you post. Float helps you make it. Float generates and renders the content itself, on-brand and per client, so you are not exporting from five other tools just to feed the scheduler.
Hootsuite replaces your scheduler. It does not replace your designer, editor, writer, or repurposing tool. Float replaces that stack: about $2,400 per brand, per month.
