The good knews for those that are not interested in paying for a service, Hootsuite will continue to offer a free services to most of their current users.  What this means to me and other users is, we should be able to continue to use Hootsuite the same as we normally do, but power users and enterprise teams will have more tools at their finger tips.

When Do Users Have to Choose a Plan?

As of August 11 th, 2010, all new customers will have to select a plan during the sign-up process. Then next week, current Hootsuite users will be asked to choose a package. If you are unsure of what package to choose, there is a migration wizard that will help you select the best plan.

If you are interested in the premium plans, there is a 30-day free trial. During the trial period, you will be able experiment and find out what plan is best for you. Of course, if these plans are more than you need, then you can always select the free plan.

For more information about these options, check out Hootsuite’s latest blog post. To keep up date on all things Hootsuite make sure to check out and mark their blog.

  1. Free package is still effective. Platinum is very costly.

    • I agree, I wouldn’t any of the premium stuff. I do all my Twitter stuff. Maybe I would need the paid plans if I was running a medium – to large company…

  2. Hi James, they are really going after the big money with prices ranging from $4.99 – $1,499.00. WHOA!!

    I honestly hope they do well with this, and it will be interesting to see how this changes the game for everyone – I mean everyone – including Tweetdeck, Seesmic, Google, iPhone and lets not forget little ole you and me. It’s actually pretty inspiring watching them try to grab the big brass ring! Cheers!

    • Yeah, It takes guts with what they are doing this. This could hurt them if they do it wrong. But so far, I have been happy with all of their upgrades. Besides, we only the free account. Maybe someday we will need more and now we won’t have to go somewhere else!
