Questions about switching
Can I keep using Hootsuite while I try theposting.ai?
Yes. The 7-day Pro trial needs no card, so you can run both side by side and compare the results.
Does theposting.ai write the posts for me?
Yes. You give it photos or a video and one line about the post. It writes a version for each network you pick. You edit or approve each one before anything goes out.
Will anything publish without my approval?
No. Every draft waits for your OK. Then you publish now, add it to the queue or schedule it.
Can my team use one account?
Pro covers 3 businesses and Business covers unlimited businesses under one login. If several people need their own seats and approval steps, Hootsuite may fit you better.
