How does Multi Upload Tool work?

Multi Upload Tool simplifies your workflow by allowing you to upload a video once and distribute it to multiple platforms (TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels) simultaneously. You can schedule posts, manage captions, and track performance from a single dashboard, saving you hours of manual work.

Can I manage multiple accounts?

Yes! Depending on your subscription plan, you can connect and manage multiple accounts for each platform. This is ideal for content creators with multiple brands or agencies managing client accounts.

Do you support scheduling?

Absolutely. You can schedule your posts for days, weeks, or even months in advance. Our system will automatically publish them at your specified times, ensuring consistent engagement with your audience without you needing to be online.

How do you handle API updates (e.g., if TikTok changes their algorithm)?

We act as a middleware buffer. If a platform updates its API, we update our backend immediately. This means you don't have to rewrite your code—our unified API remains stable, saving you the headache of maintaining integrations for multiple constantly changing platforms.

What are the API Rate Limits?

Rate limits depend on your tier. For the Free and Basic plans, we have generous daily limits to prevent abuse. For Pro, Business, and Agency tiers, we offer high-throughput limits suitable for SaaS applications. Usage details are available in the developer dashboard headers.

What file formats and sizes are supported?

We support MP4, MOV, and AVI up to 4GB per file. Our engine automatically transcodes and optimizes parameters (bitrate, resolution, aspect ratio) to meet the specific requirements of each destination platform (e.g., converting to 9:16 for Reels/TikToks automatically).

Do you support Webhooks for event notifications?

Yes, Webhooks are available on Pro and Agency plans. You can listen for events like upload.success, upload.failed, or auth.expired to trigger actions in your own app instantly without polling our API.

Will using an automation tool decrease my views (Shadowban)?

No. We strictly adhere to the official API guidelines of TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Unlike bot services that simulate clicks, we are a legitimate publishing tool. The algorithms treat content uploaded through our system exactly the same as native uploads.

Where is my data stored?

Your data is securely stored on encrypted servers located in compliant data centers. We prioritize your privacy and security, ensuring that your content and account credentials are protected at all times. We do not share your personal information with third parties.

Is my account safe? Do you store my passwords?

We never store your social media passwords. We use official OAuth 2.0 protocols, meaning you verify directly with platforms like TikTok or Google, and we only receive a secure token to manage uploads. You can revoke this access at any time from your social media settings.

Do you offer White-Labeling for Agencies?

Yes. The Agency plan allows you to remove our branding entirely. You can use your own domain (CNAME), logo, and color scheme on the dashboard and in reports, presenting the tool to your clients as your own proprietary technology.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan later?

Absolutely. You can scale seamlessly. If you upgrade to a higher tier like Agency, the changes are instant. Prorated billing applies, so you only pay for what you use.

Why Switch From Hootsuite?

Paying for Unused 'Listening' Features

Hootsuite bundles expensive social listening tools that 90% of creators don't use. You're paying a premium for enterprise features while just wanting to post videos.

Stop subsidizing enterprise tools. Pay $9.99/mo for the video tools you actually use.

The 10-Account Pricing Trap

Hootsuite's $99 Professional plan caps you at 10 social accounts. Adding a client with 3 profiles (TikTok, IG, YT) forces an upgrade to the $249 Team plan immediately.

Get 20 accounts on our $19.99 Pro plan or 60 accounts on Business for $49.99.

Manual Upload Friction

While Hootsuite supports video, their bulk composer often fails with modern short-form formats (9:16), forcing manual one-by-one uploads for TikToks and Reels.

Bulk upload 50+ TikToks and Reels in one CSV with full metadata.

Features Hootsuite Doesn't Have

Agency White-Labeling

Completely remove our branding and use your own domain/logo for client reports and dashboards. Hootsuite only offers this on custom Enterprise plans.

Smart Links with Retargeting

Our link-in-bio tool isn't just a list—it builds audiences with pixel retargeting and conditional routing (iOS vs Android). Hootsuite's Owly is just a redirect.

Developer API Access

Build your own internal tools with our documented API. Hootsuite restricts API access to high-tier partners.

Stay with Hootsuite if you...

You need enterprise-grade social listening
Your company requires SSO and audit trails
You manage 100+ accounts with 20+ team members

Your org is already locked into Hootsuite contracts

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Hootsuite really charge $99/mo for just 10 accounts?

Yes, as of 2026 pricing updates, their entry 'Professional' plan allows only 1 user and 10 social accounts. To add a team member, you must jump to the Team plan at $249/mo.

Is your bulk upload compatible with Hootsuite's CSV format?

Mostly. We offer a column-mapping tool that lets you import CSVs. However, Hootsuite exports don't always include the video file links, so you may need to re-attach video files.

Do you have social listening like Hootsuite?

No. We focus 100% on publishing and scheduling. For listening, we recommend dedicated tools like Brand24 which, combined with us, is still 50% cheaper than Hootsuite.

Can I manage comments?

We support comment management for primary platforms, but our focus is distribution. If you need a unified inbox for 50+ channels, Hootsuite might be better, but you'll pay a premium.

What about Hootsuite's 'Best Time to Post'?

We also offer 'Best Time to Post' analytics based on when your specific audience is most active on TikTok and Instagram.
