What platforms does Publora support?
Publora supports 11 platforms: Instagram, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Threads, Telegram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Mastodon, Bluesky, and Pinterest. That is more than Hootsuite Professional, which covers 10 platforms and charges $99/mo.
Does Publora have auto-renewal?

How does Publora compare to Hootsuite's API?

How do I cancel Hootsuite?
Log into Hootsuite, go to Account > Billing > Manage Plan, and select Cancel. Be aware that Hootsuite may charge you for the full annual term if you signed up for an annual plan. Many users report difficulty cancelling. We recommend exporting your data to Publora first, then cancelling Hootsuite.
