Why switch?

Socify

  • Read-focused social API
  • No publish seat required
  • Credits per successful fetch
  • Nine networks one key
  • No inbox/scheduler tax
  • 99.97% SLA

Hootsuite

  • Publish/management suite
  • Per-seat pricing
  • Scheduler and inbox overhead
  • Team workflows not APIs
  • OAuth account binding
  • Not built as data API

The tax you don't see: a management suite when you only read public data.

Hootsuite seats are for teams publishing and engaging. Public data products should not inherit a management suite.

On Socify public reads do not require a publish seat. Credits meter successful lookups without scheduler or inbox overhead.

Switching from Hootsuite.

What is Socify?

Socify is a social-data API for builders and agents: nine major networks, credits as the only hard quota, a published uptime SLA, and one Bearer + JSON envelope across every plan.

How do I move from Hootsuite to Socify?

Keep Hootsuite for human listening workflows; move programmatic public reads to Socify /api/v1 routes.

Will Socify cover the same surface Hootsuite does?

Hootsuite is a listening/management suite; Socify is a developer social data API on nine networks.

How close is Socify’s API to Hootsuite’s?

Different products: Hootsuite suite UX vs Socify REST resources.

Can I run Socify alongside Hootsuite before cutting over?

Yes. Keep Hootsuite on production paths while you shadow-read through Socify on the overlapping platforms. Compare payloads and latency, then flip traffic when you are ready: no need for a big-bang cutover.
