Which should you choose?

Vista Social: Social media management with publishing, a shared inbox, review management, listening and client reports.

Hootsuite: Social media management platform with scheduling, inbox, listening and reporting.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
