What they are

Metricool

The free plan is genuinely usable, though it caps brand connections and historical data depth.

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.
