Hootsuite Strips Approval Workflows and Permissions from Advanced Plan
What happened
Between the Mar 2, 2026 and Mar 9, 2026 captures of Hootsuite's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Removed 3 features from Advanced plan card: approval workflows, inbox reporting, custom user access permissions [all 3 moved to Enterprise-only in comparison table; Advanced card reduced from 12 to 9 feature bullets; features still listed for Enterprise tier]. Pulse files it as a product change (feature removed) with a downward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Jul 6, 2026) lists Standard at $99 and Advanced at $249.
It lands 59 days after Hootsuite's previous change, "Hootsuite Unveils Standard Plan at $99/user/mo, Expanding Social Accounts from 5 to 10 and Adding Adobe Express Templates" (Jan 11, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Hootsuite Expands Auto-Boost to LinkedIn, Adds Reddit for Social Ads" (Week 1, 2026). Hootsuite has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window HubSpot, Buffer, Sproutsocial and Coschedule also changed their Marketing & Content pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
