Social Moderator AI:
a Hootsuite free alternative
Hootsuite is the most widely used social media management platform — but at $99+/month it's built for publishing and scheduling first, with comment moderation as a basic inbox feature, not an AI-native capability.

The key differences that matter for page owners who want real transparency.
Built for moderation, not suites
Hootsuite starts at $99/month for a platform built around scheduling. We're focused entirely on moderation — at a fraction of the cost.
AI-native moderation
Hootsuite's comment management is manual inbox review. Our AI proactively hides spam and shows its reasoning for every decision.
Plain-English rules
Write your moderation policy in plain text and let the AI apply it. Hootsuite requires manual keyword rules.
AI reply drafting
We draft on-brand replies automatically. Hootsuite's inbox requires manual responses with no AI drafting.
