Pricing


Kontentino pricing

Kontentino’s priority is to grant access to team members and clients, so they can seamlessly collaborate, approve and comment on posts. That is the reason why the number of users in all of our plans is set much higher than in the Hootsuite planner.

Kontentino costs start at considerably lower prices for a user than Hootsuite’s while at the same time providing you with collaboration and approval workflow from the start.

Kontentino pricing starts at 49 €/month with the XS plan that allows for 3 users and management of 10 social media profiles. With this plan, you gain the approval workflow, since it’s for more than one user.

Small plan costs 99€/month and allows you to manage an unlimited number of social media profiles. In Small plan, you can add up to 10 users. You also get to create a post checklist, see review history, etc.

The Medium plan is designed for slightly bigger teams, for 189€/month you can add up to 20 users. The number of social media profiles managed is unlimited. There is the option to export analytics in a PDF format and set KPIs and benchmarks. You also gain a premium customer support (email, phone call).

Conclusion

As a user, you need to understand what you want to use the tool for. If your priority is to have easy collaboration and approval workflow, you should seriously go for Kontentino. Apps like Hootsuite may offer you similar features, but their main focus is not collaboration, so they don’t include as many users as you may need.

Is Kontentino a great alternative to Hootsuite for you? You decide!

If collaboration and approval aren’t your priorities because you’re a freelancer or a small agency, Hootsuite can be the solution for you.

Kontentino is one of the most popular alternatives to Hootsuite and you can try it for free. Why Kontentino might suit some users better than Hootsuite is because the tool was created in an advertising agency by social media managers for social media managers. That’s why the team at Kontentino understands the customers’ needs perfectly. The main scope of Kontentino is improving your approval and collaboration process, therefore if you are searching for something different than “just”  Hootsuite planner, Kontentino is a great choice for you!
