Hootsuite alternative for short video
Hootsuite starts at $99 a month per user, billed yearly. deploy.social is $15. I remember Hootsuite as the way to send one post to every network at once, and looking at tools like it is how I found the ones I use now. It has grown into a full dashboard for social teams since then, with an inbox, listening and reports built in.
