Hootsuite Plans
| Plan | Price | Profiles | Users | API Access |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Professional | $99/mo | 10 | 1 | REST API |
| Team | $249/mo | 20 | 3 | REST API |
| Business | $739/mo | 35 | 5+ | Full API + webhooks |
| Enterprise | Custom | 50+ | Unlimited | Full API + SCIM |
Cost Optimization
Step 1: Minimize API Calls
// Cache profile lists (don't refetch every request)
// Batch schedule posts (one session, many messages)
// Use bulk endpoints where available
Step 2: Right-Size Your Plan
// Audit actual profile usage
async function auditUsage() {
const profiles = await getCachedProfiles();
console.log(`Active profiles: ${profiles.length}`);
console.log(`Networks: ${[...new Set(profiles.map(p => p.type))].join(', ')}`);
// If using < 10 profiles, Professional plan may suffice
}
Step 3: Track API Usage
let apiCallCount = 0;
const originalFetch = fetch;
globalThis.fetch = async (...args) => {
if (String(args[0]).includes('hootsuite.com')) apiCallCount++;
return originalFetch(...args);
};
// Log periodically
setInterval(() => { console.log(`Hootsuite API calls: ${apiCallCount}`); apiCallCount = 0; }, 3600000);
