## What is the best Hootsuite Parliament alternative?

Vulse is the strongest Hootsuite Parliament alternative for B2B teams whose advocacy happens on LinkedIn. Parliament, formerly Hootsuite Amplify, is Hootsuite's employee advocacy product and is included in its Enterprise plan. Vulse is a standalone LinkedIn advocacy platform: built on LinkedIn's official API, drafting an original post for each employee in their own voice, publishing on behalf of leaders with their consent, and reporting results by person from LinkedIn's own data. Pricing is published, from $6 to $18 a seat per month, with no minimum, and you do not need any other social media tool to use it.

## What does Hootsuite Parliament do well?

Hootsuite is one of the best-known social media management platforms, and Parliament lets the social team push approved content to employees from the same tool they already use to publish company posts. Employees share to their own networks, and reporting sits alongside the rest of Hootsuite's analytics. If your team already runs everything in Hootsuite Enterprise, Parliament keeps advocacy in one place with one less vendor to manage. Check your contract first: it may already be included in what you pay.

## Why do teams look for a Hootsuite Parliament alternative?

Three reasons. First, Parliament is part of Hootsuite Enterprise, which is priced on request, so a team that only needs advocacy ends up evaluating a full social media suite to get it. Second, the model is built around employees resharing approved company content, which produces what we call share decay: when ten colleagues post the same thing, their networks learn to scroll past, and participation shrinks back to a few regulars. Third, Hootsuite is built around the Company Page and many networks, while most B2B advocacy value sits on employees' personal LinkedIn profiles.

## How does Vulse compare with Hootsuite Parliament?

Vulse is a dedicated LinkedIn advocacy platform; Parliament is one product inside a social media suite. Vulse publishes its pricing, from $6 to $18 a seat, with no other plan required; Parliament comes with Hootsuite Enterprise, priced on request. Vulse drafts a different post for each person in their own voice; Parliament distributes approved content for employees to share. Vulse publishes on behalf of leaders with their consent; Parliament depends on each person sharing. Vulse reports impressions, reach, engagement and follower growth by person from LinkedIn's API.

## Company Page or personal profiles: where does the reach come from?

Across roughly 700 million LinkedIn impressions we analysed, 90% of a company's impressions came from employees' personal profiles and 10% from the Company Page. We call it the 90/10 split. A social media suite is built to run the 10%: the Page, its scheduling, its inbox and its reporting. Vulse is built to run the 90%: original posts on personal profiles, approved in seconds, with results by person. Many teams keep Hootsuite for the Page and add Vulse for people. The two do different jobs.

On annual billing, Vulse costs $180 a month for 10 seats, $350 for 25, $500 for 50 and $600 for 100. There is no platform fee and no minimum. Hootsuite Enterprise, which includes Parliament, is custom-priced, so compare the advocacy part of your Hootsuite quote against the Vulse seat count you would actually use.

## Who should stay with Hootsuite Parliament?

Stay if your team runs company social on Hootsuite Enterprise across many networks, already pays for the plan that includes Parliament, and mainly wants employees to reshare approved company content with minimal setup. In that case the marginal cost of Parliament may be close to zero.

## How do you switch from Hootsuite Parliament to Vulse?

You do not have to leave Hootsuite. Keep it for the Company Page. Pick 10 to 25 people for a four-week pilot on Vulse, including two leaders who never share anything. Each connects their LinkedIn profile once through the official API, and your team drafts their first posts the same day. At the end of the month, compare each person's LinkedIn impressions and engagement against their Parliament shares. If Parliament is a line item in your Hootsuite renewal, that is the moment to remove it.
