Hootsuite is a powerful social media management suite. Upnext is a professional workspace for publishers, media companies, agencies and businesses that use Facebook to distribute content and drive traffic.
Hootsuite is designed to manage a broad social media organization. Upnext is designed around a different job: turning Facebook publishing into a repeatable traffic operation.
A strong fit for organizations that need multi-network publishing, social listening, inbox workflows, approvals and broader social media governance.
If you publish to Facebook to generate reach, clicks and website traffic, Upnext brings the operational tools around that job into one focused workspace.
This isn't a contest to count the most features. It's about which product is designed around the work you actually do.

I built it because I needed it. After more than 15 years working hands-on with Facebook publishing and traffic — while continuously studying how serious publishers and large traffic operations work — generic social media tools no longer matched the workflow I wanted.
So Upnext started as my own internal tool. Step by step, every publishing problem became a reason to improve it: multiple Pages, content distribution, scheduling, Stories, Reels, first comments, links, traffic tracking, cleanup, recycling and the repetitive work around all of them.
It grew far beyond what I initially expected. Today, that same workspace is being built for publishers, media companies, agencies and businesses that take Facebook traffic seriously.
If Facebook traffic matters to your business, Upnext was built for you.
Upnext connects the steps around Facebook publishing so the workflow continues after you click Publish.
Prepare Posts, Reels and Stories individually or bring content in through bulk workflows.
Select Pages or Page Groups, add first comments and control how content is delivered.
Avoid pushing every Page at once. Organize delivery around a real multi-Page operation.
Keep Facebook publishing connected to the website traffic the content is meant to generate.
See what was published and use performance signals to guide the next publishing decisions.
Manage and remove old Facebook content without turning Page maintenance into repetitive work.
Bring evergreen content back into your publishing workflow instead of rebuilding it from scratch.
Turn publishing into a repeatable traffic operation rather than a collection of disconnected tasks.
Upnext is not designed to feel like a directory of disconnected social media features. Publishing, distribution, traffic, content management and recycling are parts of the same operation — so they belong in the same workspace.
Every feature has a reason to exist: it solves a problem that appears when Facebook is not just a place to post, but a real acquisition channel.
