# A Hootsuite alternative for posting everywhere

> For people who mostly publish, at a fraction of the price per seat.

## Is PostMesh a good Hootsuite alternative?

PostMesh is a lower-cost Hootsuite alternative for people who mainly publish. Write a post once, check it against every network's rules, schedule it up to 12 months ahead and retry only the accounts that failed. Creator is $29 a month for 10 accounts, where Hootsuite's Standard plan, also for 10 accounts, is $99 per user a month billed annually. Hootsuite does much more around the post, with an inbox, social listening and approvals, so teams that need those should stay with it.

## What it costs each month

| Accounts | PostMesh | Hootsuite |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 10 accounts | $29/mo (Creator) | $99/mo per user (Standard, billed annually) |
| 50 accounts | $49/mo (Growth) | $199/mo per user (Professional, billed annually) |
| Unlimited accounts | $99/mo (Pro) | $199/mo per user (Professional, billed annually) |

PostMesh prices are monthly; yearly billing is $22, $37 and $75 a month. Hootsuite's are per user seat. Prices in USD before tax.
