Is Uplonic a full Hootsuite replacement?

For publishing, scheduling, approvals, analytics and the comment inbox, yes. Uplonic has no social listening or competitor benchmarking — if your team relies on those, Hootsuite (or a dedicated listening tool) still has a place.

How much can I save by switching from Hootsuite?

Hootsuite starts at $99 a month for one seat; Uplonic charges per channel and has a free plan. The calculator above compares both for your channel count, billed yearly.

Does Uplonic support X (Twitter)?

Not today — the networks row in the table above lists where Uplonic publishes. If X is a core channel for you, keep a tool that supports it for X alone, or stay with one that covers it.

Strengths on both sides

Where Uplonic is better

A free plan, and monthly per-channel pricing instead of a $99 starting point per seat.
Approval workflows and client approval by link on Pro Plus, not only on the top tier.
A video library with storage per channel and bulk upload from a CSV.
Per-network video settings (privacy, interactions, TikTok disclosure) checked before posting.

Where Hootsuite is better

Social listening and brand monitoring on every plan.
Competitor benchmarking — up to 20 competitors on Professional.
Enterprise features: SSO, Salesforce integration, employee advocacy, compliance options.
Automated inbox replies, message routing and team productivity tracking.

Switching from Hootsuite in three steps

1
Connect your channels
Sign in to each network once. Several accounts on the same network are fine — pick which one is the default, and every post addressed to that network goes there.
2
Bring your content over
Drop your videos into the bulk uploader and attach a spreadsheet: captions, channels and dates are filled in from a CSV (Excel and Google Sheets exports both work). Your Hootsuite queue can keep running in the meantime.
3
Rebuild the schedule, then switch
Set up publishing profiles and daily time slots for each channel, check the first week in the calendar, and pause the old queue once the first posts have gone out from Uplonic.
