Hootsuite also limits their customer's abilities to add users once the limit is hit. Out of the three plans listed above, only enterprise-level Hootsuite customers are able to add users (which comes with extra fees).

“Previously we were using Hootsuite and were limited on how many users could gain access without spending a lot more money. Now, with HeyOrca, the whole team has access with so much more features.”
