Who it's for

Make posts, flyers & video is a job almost every small business or nonprofit has, so this aisle is open to everyone. How we decide

Our take · general advice for this aisle

How a small shop might use it

  1. Start with one thing you make every week anyway, like a specials post or an event flyer.
  2. Make it once by hand in the tool, then see whether the AI help saves you time on the second one.
  3. Keep your own photos and your own voice. Customers notice when everything looks generic.

These are general first steps for any make posts, flyers & video tool, not a review of Hootsuite. We haven't tested it hands-on.

Before you buy, check

  • Priced per person, seat or channel. Count how many you would need.
  • Some prices assume yearly billing. Paying monthly can cost more.
  • There is a free trial. Put the end date on your calendar so a charge isn’t a surprise.
  • Whether it connects to the apps you already use.
