Hootsuite caps trial posting at 10–20 daily, blocks bulk uploads
What happened
Between the May 4, 2026 and May 11, 2026 captures of Hootsuite's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Added trial account restrictions notice: daily posting limits (10–20 posts per organization depending on plan) and bulk upload/composer unavailable during trial. Pulse files it as a packaging change (trial change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Jul 6, 2026) lists Standard at $99 and Advanced at $249.
It lands 19 days after Hootsuite's previous change, "Hootsuite slashes Standard to $99 and Advanced to $249 per user/month" (Apr 22, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Hootsuite Triples Skip-Trial Discount to 25% Off Annual Plans" (Apr 3, 2026), "Hootsuite boosts annual trial discounts to 25% for Standard and Advanced plans" (Mar 17, 2026) and "Hootsuite Strips Approval Workflows and Permissions from Advanced Plan" (Mar 10, 2026). Hootsuite has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
