For Small Business
Looking for a Hootsuite alternative?
Hootsuite, Buffer and Sprout Social schedule your posts. None of them write the caption or shoot the video. Creovus is a flat-rate team that actually makes the content, then posts it.
The real difference
Hootsuite, Buffer and Sprout Social are scheduling and inbox tools. They’re built for teams that already have a content pipeline and just need somewhere to queue posts, track engagement and manage replies. If you don’t have that pipeline, a better calendar doesn’t fix it. Creovus skips the tool entirely: real people plan, shoot, edit and write your content, then post it, all inside one flat-rate plan.
How the pricing compares
Creovus
$99–449/month flat. Content creation is included, captions, video editing, scheduling and posting, done by a real team. Nothing goes live without your approval. No contract, cancel anytime.
Hootsuite
$99–399 per user/month depending on tier (Standard, Professional, Advanced), billed annually. A scheduling and inbox tool for teams who already have someone creating content. You still write every caption and shoot every video yourself.
Buffer
Free plan for 3 channels, or $5–10 per channel/month on paid tiers. The cheapest of the scheduling tools, but still just a scheduler; you’re creating and uploading every post yourself.
Sprout Social
$199–399 per seat/month (Standard, Professional, Advanced), billed annually. The most feature-heavy of the three, built for larger teams with analytics and listening needs, priced accordingly. Still a tool, not a content team.

Frequently asked questions
Is Creovus a replacement for Hootsuite?
Not exactly, we’re not a scheduling tool. We’re a content team. We plan, create and post for you, where Hootsuite, Buffer and Sprout Social all still expect you to supply the content yourself.
Is Creovus cheaper than Hootsuite?
Depends what you’re comparing. Hootsuite’s entry Standard plan starts around \$99 per user/month for scheduling only. Creovus also starts at \$99/month flat, but that includes the content creation, not just the posting.
Can I use a scheduling tool alongside Creovus?
Most clients don’t need to, scheduling and posting are part of every plan. Nothing stops you from also running your own tool if you want extra oversight.
Do I need my own content ready if I switch from Hootsuite?
No. Hootsuite assumes you already have content ready to schedule. With Creovus, we’re the ones making it, that’s the actual gap most people hit when a scheduling tool alone isn’t working out.
Is there a contract?
No. Plans are billed monthly and you can cancel anytime, same as every other Creovus plan.
