Oliver Ramirez
Agency Owner
★★★★★

Switched from Hootsuite — saving over $840/year with more features. Setup took 10 minutes. Wish I’d switched sooner.”

LS
Laura Stevens
Digital Marketing Agency
★★★★★

“The approval workflow alone saved us from 3 client disasters. Planning, scheduling, approvals — all in one place at a fraction of what Hootsuite charges.”

ED
Emily Davis
Social Media Manager
★★★★★

AI content generation is a game-changer. A week of captions in 30 minutes — and they sound like us, not a robot. Hootsuite never offered this.”

EC
Ethan Cooper
Brand Manager
★★★★★

“Best social media tool I’ve used. Customisable reports and analytics give our clients deep insights. Switched after Hootsuite’s price hike notice arrived.”

James O'Brien
Marketing Manager
★★★★★

Managing all 8 platforms from one place instead of logging into each separately is worth it alone. The time saved pays for itself in the first week.”

Common questions

Everything you need to know.

Correct — no credit card is needed to start your 14-day trial. You get full access to the Team plan. If you don’t upgrade at the end, your account moves to the free plan automatically (2 channels, 30 posts/month). No charges at any point without your explicit action.
Yes. Turrboo connects directly to the same social platforms — it doesn’t import from Hootsuite. You’ll need to reschedule future posts in Turrboo, but historical analytics remain in your existing social accounts. Most teams complete the switch in under 30 minutes.
6 million AI text credits per month means roughly 4,000–6,000 social media captions, hashtag sets, or post ideas every month. For most businesses this is effectively unlimited. One typical caption generation uses around 1,000–1,500 credits.
Turrboo covers all core social media management — scheduling, publishing, analytics, unified inbox, approval workflows, and AI content. Turrboo does not offer enterprise social listening (open web brand mention tracking) which is Hootsuite’s Insights product aimed at large enterprises. For SMBs and agencies, Turrboo covers everything needed.
Turrboo is built on transparent, locked pricing. Any plan you sign up for is the price you keep. We will never raise prices on existing customers without 90 days notice and the option to cancel. This is a core commitment.
Team ($47/month annually) gives 15 channels and 3 users — perfect for in-house marketing teams. Agency ($103/month annually) gives 40 channels and 10 users, plus campaign creation and priority support — built for agencies managing multiple client accounts.
