Hootsuite quietly removes trial account restrictions from pricing page
What happened
Between the May 11, 2026 and May 18, 2026 captures of Hootsuite's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Trial account restrictions disclaimer removed from pricing page: note stating daily posting limits (10–20 posts/org) and bulk upload/composer unavailability during trial is no longer shown. Pulse files it as a packaging change (trial change). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists Standard at $99 and Advanced at $249.
It lands 7 days after Hootsuite's previous change, "Hootsuite caps trial posting at 10–20 daily, blocks bulk uploads" (May 11, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Hootsuite slashes Standard to $99 and Advanced to $249 per user/month" (Apr 22, 2026), "Hootsuite Triples Skip-Trial Discount to 25% Off Annual Plans" (Apr 2, 2026) and "Hootsuite boosts annual trial discounts to 25% for Standard and Advanced plans" (Mar 16, 2026). Hootsuite has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window HubSpot, Buffer and Sproutsocial also changed their Marketing & Content pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
