Hootsuite reveals trial posting limits hidden behind asterisks
What happened
Between the May 25, 2026 and Jun 1, 2026 captures of Hootsuite's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Trial accounts now disclosed to have daily posting limits (10-20 posts per organization, depending on plan) and bulk scheduling unavailable during trial. 'Unlimited post scheduling' and 'Bulk schedule up to 350 posts at once' now carry asterisk referencing these restrictions. 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 14 days after Hootsuite's previous change, "Hootsuite quietly removes trial account restrictions from pricing page" (May 18, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Hootsuite caps trial posting at 10–20 daily, blocks bulk uploads" (May 11, 2026), "Hootsuite slashes Standard to $99 and Advanced to $249 per user/month" (Apr 22, 2026) and "Hootsuite Triples Skip-Trial Discount to 25% Off Annual Plans" (Apr 3, 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.
