Where the two products differ
Status 200 has a permanent Free plan and paid plans from $9/mo. Hootsuite has no free plan, only a 14-day trial, and starts at $99 per user per month, billed annually, for Standard with 10 social accounts.
Status 200 issues API keys on every plan, including Free, with no application step and no monthly request cap. Hootsuite has a REST publishing API, but you need a Hootsuite user account plus a developer account that Hootsuite approves before you can use it. Its publishing API does not post to TikTok, YouTube or Bluesky.
Status 200 prices by plan and profile count, not per user. Hootsuite prices every self-serve plan per user: $99, $199 or $399 per user per month, billed annually.
Status 200 focuses on publishing and automation. Hootsuite is a broader suite with a unified inbox, brand monitoring, custom reports and approval workflows, which matter if your team uses them.

Expert ($199/mo or $1,990 a year, 25 profiles) and Agency ($499/mo) cost more than one Hootsuite Standard seat.

TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads, and Skool — 9 platforms in total. The free plan covers 7; Skool is included from Beginner and X is a $9/mo add-on.
