# Sked vs Hootsuite
> Canonical: https://skedsocial.com/compare/sked-vs-hootsuite
One modern workspace — ideas, scheduling, approvals, analytics and listening — priced for growing teams, not for enterprise deploys.
## Modern software, not a decade of bolt-ons.

Hootsuite runs on architecture older than most social networks it connects to. Sked is built for how teams work now — one workspace, fewer tabs, no legacy UI tax.

### Three reasons it tends to stick.

- **Priced for the team you have** — Basic $29. Grow $149 with 3 users. Accelerate $299 with 6. Add paid seats only when you scale past Accelerate.
- **Collaboration without the upsell** — Approvals, client review portals and role-based permissions on every paid plan — not gated behind Enterprise.
- **24/7 humans, 91% CSAT** — Sydney, London and New York coverage. ~4-minute average reply during business hours. No chatbot wall.

## Why teams switch — and stay.

Modern UI, transparent pricing and support that picks up. That's the pitch. That's also why the retention curve stays flat after the switch.
