    Considered Both Products
    Hootsuite
    Chose Hootsuite
    Sendible is more professional and used by the agency as it is developed and designed for the agencies, Selecting Hootsuite against Sendible, was because we had very few clients and Hootsuite was cheaper at that time.
    Incentivized
    Chose Hootsuite
    Hootsuite is a bit less busy and easier to use,they also offer a lot of learning resources and tools. I like the simple interface in comparison to others.
    Incentivized
    Chose Hootsuite
    The paid options are cheaper on the other platforms.
    Incentivized
    Chose Hootsuite
    We love saving time by having our content scheduled through Hootsuite, so we do not have to worry about posting every day. Also, we no longer have to search and scroll to find and engage with our target market; they are all right there on our home page on Hootsuite. Plus, when …
    Incentivized
    Chose Hootsuite
    Sprout Social, Shoutlet, Sendible, others. We liked Hootsuite's flat-fee approach, and the fact that it was the most popular and most widely used platform at the time (and probably still is).
    Sendible
    Chose Sendible
    Sendible offers outstanding value for money with majority of the features offered by more expensive platforms at a much lower cost.

    We were using a combination of Hootsuite and Sendible. Sendible remains our primary social media scheduling tool and we were using the free …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sendible
    We have used Hootsuite since 2013, but their pricing is high and we can't afford that since we are a small team. Then we tried Buffer, but Buffer is limiting the number of social media platforms that you can manage. Buffer doesn't have a lot of functions and their analytics …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sendible
    Sendible is much more updated, both in aesthetics and function, than Hootsuite is. When I open our content manager, I don't want to immediately feel stressed by the amount of things on the screen. Sendible's UI is wonderfully clean and easy to learn/follow. I feel much more in …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sendible
    Sendible is a step beyond tools such as Buffer and Hootsuite Pro. Sendible is a slightly more professional platform than these, adding features that agencies will benefit from.

    Compared to similar products such as Sprout Social, the pricing made a lot more sense with Sendible …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sendible
    We used a combination of Hootsuite and Sendible. Sendible allowed us to fill holes that Hootsuite could not provide coverage for at the time.
    Incentivized
    Chose Sendible
    While lacking in some features compared to those big alternatives, Sendible doesn't stop releasing new features every few months and doesn't cost nearly as much monthly as they do for the amount of profiles they allow to manage. Overall I'd say it's a solid competitor if they …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sendible
    Ease of usage and ability to schedule in advance - all at a VERY reasonable subscription price.
    Incentivized
    Chose Sendible
    Sendible totally knocks the rest of the competition out of the water. I have literally tried every single other scheduling app that out there and this platform is the best to view and keep scheduled posts up with ease. You can read and respond to messages right from the home …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sendible
    I don't think the other listed platforms are "bad" per se. I really wanted/needed a more robust platform that was easy to use and implement and I felt the others fell short in terms of what I needed it for. For instance, I think that Buffer has a great company, and a great …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sendible
    I've used full marketing automation platforms, which contain this functionality and much more. I've used HootSuite. Sendible is cheap and doesn't work very well. Give it a trial. If it works for you, great! But consider what your social media goals are. Saving yourself time on …
    Chose Sendible
    Sendible is in a different world. Hootsuit was terribly poor. It was a bad thought and i came right back to sendible.
