What they are

Hootsuite

It supports platforms including Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, and Pinterest. The tool is well-suited for teams managing several accounts simultaneously, though solo creators may find the price hard to justify compared to lighter alternatives.

Beehiiv

It includes a built-in ad network, paid subscription tiers, referral programs, and detailed subscriber analytics in one place.
