#Hootsuite API at a glance
What it is: Hootsuite is an enterprise social media management platform with a REST API.
What it costs: Per user per month: Standard $99 (10 accounts), Professional $199, Advanced $399. API access needs an approved developer account on a paid plan.
Who it suits: Your company already runs on Hootsuite seats and approvals, and the API is for internal tooling on top.
#Honest table
Hootsuite's column is what their own public pages said on 2026-10-29: hootsuite.com/plans, the /compare/hootsuite page (read 2026-09-17). Where we could not find an answer, the cell says so rather than guessing. If their site has moved since, theirs is the one to trust.
| yeetpost | Hootsuite | |
|---|---|---|
| Platforms | 6 live: LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, Discord, Telegram, Mastodon. Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Reddit and Google Business Profile are coming soon. | 11 in the dashboard: Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Pinterest, WhatsApp, Bluesky and Reddit. TikTok, YouTube and Bluesky are not supported by the Publishing API (read 2026-09-17). |
| Price | Per connected account per month: 2 free, then $5 (3 to 10), $2.50 (11 to 100), $1 (101 and up). Posts are unlimited. X charges for writes, so an X post is 1.5 cents, 20 cents with a link, at X's own rate. | Per user per month: Standard $99 (10 accounts), Professional $199, Advanced $399. API access needs an approved developer account on a paid plan. |
| Free tier | 2 connected accounts, no credit card. | None. |
| MCP server | A hosted server at api.yeetpost.com/api/v2/mcp with 37 tools, all always visible. Sign in with OAuth 2.1 from claude.ai, or use an API key. | Four product-specific MCP servers (Perch for publishing, Nest for inbox, Lumen for insights, Parliament for advocacy) with OAuth (read 2026-09-17). |
| Brand voice | Saved on each connection with set_voice. The agent reads it with get_brand before it writes, so posts come out on brand without a new brief. | Not mentioned on the pages we read. |
| Image cards | draw_card writes an image card for a post itself, in the connection's saved look: your colors, fonts and logo, with the post's own numbers on it (POST /posts/{postId}/card). render_image is the path where the agent writes the HTML. | Not mentioned on the pages we read. |
| Agencies and end customers | Profiles, one per end customer, with hosted connect URLs and API keys scoped to one profile. | Not supported for a product with its own customers: the API terms require each user to have their own Hootsuite plan (read 2026-09-17). |
#Who should switch, and who should stay
Stay on Hootsuite if you need a platform yeetpost does not have live yet. Platforms: 11 against our 6, including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn. Inbox, analytics, amplification and approval workflows for large teams. Enterprise support and a long track record.
Switch to yeetpost if your accounts are on LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, Discord, Telegram or Mastodon, an agent writes the posts, and you want them on brand with a card drawn from the brand's own look. The price also drops when the accounts are few: one brand on all six live platforms is 6 connected accounts, 2 free and 4 at $5, so $20 a month. X posts are billed on top at X's own rates.
#Migrating
Hootsuite API and yeetpost do not share a request shape, so we have not drawn a one-to-one mapping. The yeetpost side is one call:
curl -X POST https://api.yeetpost.com/api/v2/posts \
-H "x-api-key: $YEETPOST_API_KEY" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"text": "shipped the new api docs today", "connectionSlugs": ["linkedin", "x"]}'Reconnect each account once in the dashboard, then post by slug. The docs cover scheduling, queues, images and webhooks.
#What yeetpost does differently
The difference we care about most is not an endpoint. It is what happens when an agent runs a brand's social for a month. The voice and look live on the connection, so the agent does not have to be told again, and an image card is drawn by draw_card in the brand's own look instead of a stock picture. The whole thing sits behind a hosted MCP server with 37 tools that an agent signs in to with OAuth. We did not find a voice saved per connection or HTML image cards on Hootsuite's pricing or MCP pages.
Below is the same Herizon post sent as plain text and sent with the card the agent rendered. The card is a real one, drawn from the look saved on the connection.
