Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hootsuite at 4.7 against Multi's 2.8. Hootsuite also leads on ratings volume (34K vs 13). Multi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (60% vs 46%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hootsuite holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hootsuite has 34K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Hootsuite's written reviews are positive against 60% of Multi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hootsuite ships an update every 2 weeks, Multi every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
