Hootsuite alternative for short video

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, and its plans start at $99 a month per user, billed yearly. If what you need is one short video on every platform, Deploy does that for $15 a month, and five videos a month are free.

The Caption step in Deploy: one caption going to seven platforms, with a counter under each platform's logo showing how it fits that platform's limit, a first comment, and a preview.
One caption for every platform, checked against each one's limit before it posts.
