The full guide
Everything above, in detail: how it works, what it replaces and what it does not.
Short answer: Alori is a Hootsuite alternative for small software companies and agencies that post on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok and want the comments and messages to land next to their customers and deals. Every plan has unlimited users, so the whole team can write and answer. Switching takes one connection: sign in with Facebook in Alori and your Pages and Instagram accounts show up.
Why teams leave Hootsuite
Hootsuite is a complete social media platform, with listening, reports and approvals. Small teams leave it for the bill and the distance from the rest of the business:
- Plans are priced per user, from $99 a month on Standard, so a team of five pays five times.
- Standard manages up to 10 social accounts. More takes Professional, at twice the price per user.
- A comment asking for a price is answered in Hootsuite while the deal lives in a CRM, so nobody sees both.
What you pay
Hootsuite, as listed on its plans page in November 2026 (billed yearly):
| Team of 5 | Hootsuite | Alori |
|---|---|---|
| Users | $99 per user a month on Standard, $199 on Professional | Unlimited users on every plan |
| Monthly total | $495 on Standard, $995 on Professional | Free to start, Solo from $99 a month, Business from $249 |
| Social accounts | Up to 10 on Standard, unlimited on Professional | Your Facebook Pages, Instagram accounts and TikTok |
| AI | Included | Uses your plan's credits |
See pricing for the details.
What Alori replaces
- In Social media, write a post once and send it to your Facebook Page, Instagram and TikTok, now or at a set time. Add up to 10 photos (a Facebook album, an Instagram carousel) or one video, or post an Instagram Story.
- Give Instagram different text, add a first comment with your hashtags or up to 3 Instagram collaborators, and preview how the post looks on each network.
- Facebook and Instagram comments, Messenger and Instagram messages land in Conversations, on the person's record. Answer a comment in public or privately.
- Ask Sam "post this photo on Instagram Friday at 9". He writes the draft, and it goes out once you confirm.
- Change your Facebook Page's intro, phone, website and email from Alori.
- Facebook and Instagram lead forms land on your pipeline as new deals. See Facebook and Instagram.
- Email campaigns, your website and the CRM are in the same app. See marketing.
What Alori doesn't do yet
Alori doesn't post to LinkedIn, X, Threads, Pinterest, YouTube or Google Business Profile, and has no social listening, analytics reports with competitor benchmarks or approval workflows. A content calendar with client approvals is coming soon. If your team lives on LinkedIn, listens to brand mentions or reports to a big client every month, stay on Hootsuite.
How to switch
- Start free. Describe your business and paste your website. Alori builds your app with your customers, Conversations and Social media.
- Connect Facebook & Instagram. In Alori, open Connectors and sign in with Facebook, then pick your Pages. Connect TikTok the same way if you post there.
- Move your scheduled posts. They don't come over from Hootsuite. Paste the next few in Ask Sam with their dates, check each draft and confirm, then delete them in Hootsuite.
- Answer from Conversations. New comments and messages arrive there from now on, next to each person's deals and emails.
Questions
Another question? Ask it when you start.
For a small team that posts on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok and wants comments and leads in its CRM, yes. For LinkedIn and X, listening or deep social reports, Hootsuite stays the better fit.
Yes. Alori has unlimited users, so a team of 5 pays from $99 a month on Solo, against $495 a month on Hootsuite Standard.
Alori has a free plan with no card needed. You connect Facebook and Instagram and post for free, then buy credits or pick a plan when you use AI, texts or calls.
Your accounts reconnect in one sign-in. Scheduled posts, past reports and saved replies don't come over: you recreate the posts you still need.
Small software companies and agencies, usually under 50 people.
