Hootsuite vs. HubSpot: Get ahead with the best social media tool

With over 17 years as the industry leader, Hootsuite is still the number one choice for social pros. More networks, user-friendly collaboration, deeper social listening, and pricing that actually makes sense — these are just a few of the reasons Hootsuite beats HubSpot across the board.

Spoiler alert: There is no Hootsuite alternative. Here’s why.

Hootsuite does social better. Period.

HubSpot does a little bit of everything. We do one thing better than anyone: social. With Hootsuite, you’ll publish faster, listen smarter, and prove ROI with ease — all without paying for features your team will never use.

Reach a broader audience with more network integrations

Hootsuite supports every major social network — from TikTok to LinkedIn to Threads — while HubSpot sticks to a smaller set. Our intuitive workflows and scheduling tools are built for speed, helping you handle high-volume publishing without the chaos. That means your team can manage more channels in less time and keep your brand consistent everywhere.

Never miss a trend, mention, or a chance to protect your brand

HubSpot’s social listening tools only scratch the surface. With Hootsuite powered by Talkwalker, you get insights from 150 million data sources in 187 languages, plus AI that spots emerging trends and risks before they hit your feed. That’s how you stay ahead of the conversation, protect your brand, and mitigate negativity.

Get the whole data story, not just a few vanity stats

HubSpot’s reporting is templated and tied to CRM metrics, which limits your view of social performance. Hootsuite delivers customizable, social-specific analytics — from optimal posting times to competitive benchmarking — so you always know what’s working. It’s not just reporting; it’s a playbook for your next win.

With built-in automation, assignments, and collaboration tools, you’ll respond faster, delight customers, and turn conversations into conversions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

HubSpot is a great all-in-one marketing suite, but social is just one small piece of it. On the other hand, Hootsuite is built entirely for social media — giving you deeper network coverage, better listening tools, and customizable analytics designed for social-first teams.

The best part about Hootsuite? You can complete the same tasks in fewer clicks compared to the competition. Publish and track social media ads alongside organic posts from the same dashboard. 

Plus, Hootsuite improves your strategy with smarter social media analytics and deeper social listening. It tells you the best time to post based on the unique goal you set. Get recommendations on when to post to extend reach, build awareness, increase engagement, or drive traffic.

Yes. Hootsuite integrates with TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky, and more — in addition to all the major platforms. HubSpot’s social publishing is limited to just a handful of networks, which makes scaling multi-channel campaigns harder.

HubSpot offers basic stream monitoring, while Hootsuite (powered by Talkwalker) monitors 150M+ sources across 187 languages. This helps you uncover untagged mentions, track emerging trends, and catch potential crises before they escalate.

HubSpot’s social monitoring is limited to basic keyword streams and tagged mentions — fine for surface-level checks, but limiting if you want to go deeper. 

Hootsuite’s social listening, powered by Talkwalker and Blue Silk™ AI, tracks 150M+ websites and 30+ social media networks, and 300+ review sites. With Hootsuite, you can listen in for mentions across news, blogs, forums, social platforms, and even podcasts, videos, and images.

That means you’ll catch untagged brand mentions, emerging trends, and early crisis signals long before they hit your inbox — giving you market intelligence HubSpot simply can’t match.

Absolutely. Hootsuite connects with popular CRMs, ad platforms, and productivity tools, so you can still tie social into your broader marketing ecosystem — without being locked into one all-in-one suite.
