Hootsuite is a powerful social media management tool. But if you're running a community on Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks, it's the wrong tool for the job. Here's why.
Hootsuite manages social media. StickyHive manages communities. If you're managing a Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks community, Hootsuite won't help you—it doesn't integrate with these platforms. You need a tool built specifically for community management, not social media scheduling.
Hootsuite is excellent at what it does—managing multiple social media accounts. But community management and social media management are fundamentally different:

Yes! Many community managers use Hootsuite for social media promotion and StickyHive for community management. They complement each other—Hootsuite brings people in through social media, StickyHive keeps them engaged in your community.
"I used Hootsuite for years to manage our Twitter and LinkedIn. But when we launched our Skool community with 3,000 members, I realized I needed completely different tools. Hootsuite couldn't help me with moderation, member engagement, or community digests. StickyHive was built for exactly what I needed—and it saved me 12 hours a week on community work."
Don't choose based on price alone. Choose based on what you're managing. Hootsuite cannot manage Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks communities—regardless of how much you pay. If you're managing these platforms, you need StickyHive.
