Comparison

See a head-to-head comparison of features for Hootsuite vs. Emplifi

CONTENT PUBLISHING

Go beyond scheduling. Scale your brand voice.

Hootsuite built its legacy on scheduling and monitoring — and it shows. While it offers tools for content planning, Emplifi goes further with integrated publishing, governance, and AI tuned to business impact.

USER-GENERATED CONTENT

From social proof to shoppable experiences

Hootsuite lacks native UGC capabilities. Emplifi helps brands turn customer content into conversions — discovering, securing, and publishing authentic photos and reviews across social and ecommerce.

SOCIAL CUSTOMER CARE

Power every interaction with full customer context

Hootsuite’s inbox stops at social replies. Emplifi gives agents the tools — and data—they need to solve real problems faster, with native care workflows, AI chatbot, and Salesforce integration.

ANALYTICS & ROI

From social metrics to business outcomes

You can’t prove ROI with likes alone. While Hootsuite tracks engagement, Emplifi’s Unified Analytics connects the dots—from content to conversion to care — so you can track what really matters.

The Forrester Wave evaluates the most significant providers of social suite solutions, and named Emplifi a Leader. This visual shows how those providers were scored.
