eksis vs Hootsuite
Hootsuite is the enterprise incumbent, priced accordingly. For a small team running twenty accounts, the gap is the widest on this site.
Both figures are for 20 social accounts on monthly billing, taken from each vendor's public pricing page in August 2026. Check the current page before you decide — published prices change.
What each costs for 20 accounts
Hootsuite bills per seat and adds accounts on top, so the cost climbs on both axes at once — more people and more accounts each raise it. eksis sets both from the plan: Premium holds 75 accounts and 10 operators, Agency holds 200 and 30, at one flat price each.
Where eksis and Hootsuite actually differ
Hootsuite carries deep reporting, approval workflows, and social listening that eksis does not have. eksis carries native comment and DM automation, a public API on every paid plan, and a price that does not move when the team grows.
Who should switch, and who should not
Switch if the reporting and listening modules are not what you are paying for, and the seat count is. Stay on Hootsuite if compliance approvals, listening, or an agency reporting pack are the reason it is in the stack.
