# Hootsuite Cost Tuning ## Hootsuite Plans | Plan | Price | Profiles | Users | API Access | |------|-------|----------|-------|------------| | Professional | $99/mo | 10 | 1 | REST API | | Team | $249/mo | 20 | 3 | REST API | | Business | $739/mo | 35 | 5+ | Full API + webhooks | | Enterprise | Custom | 50+ | Unlimited | Full API + SCIM | ## Cost Optimization ### Step 1: Minimize API Calls ```typescript // Cache profile lists (don't refetch every request) // Batch schedule posts (one session, many messages) // Use bulk endpoints where available ``` ### Step 2: Right-Size Your Plan ```typescript // Audit actual profile usage async function auditUsage() { const profiles = await getCachedProfiles(); console.log(`Active profiles: ${profiles.length}`); console.log(`Networks: ${[...new Set(profiles.map(p => p.type))].join(', ')}`); // If using < 10 profiles, Professional plan may suffice } ``` ### Step 3: Track API Usage ```typescript let apiCallCount = 0; const originalFetch = fetch; globalThis.fetch = async (...args) => { if (String(args[0]).includes('hootsuite.com')) apiCallCount++; return originalFetch(...args); }; // Log periodically setInterval(() => { console.log(`Hootsuite API calls: ${apiCallCount}`); apiCallCount = 0; }, 3600000); ``` ## Resources - [Hootsuite Pricing](https://www.hootsuite.com/plans) ## Next Steps For architecture, see `hootsuite-reference-architecture`.
