OwlyWriter writes captions inside Hootsuite; the images, carousels, stories and video are still yours to produce, and so is the plan. Quetzal produces the finished week in your brand identity — copy and visuals together — and publishes it. Agencies often keep Hootsuite for workflow and use Quetzal for production.
Growth, the plan most businesses choose, is $229 a month on annual billing and publishes one AI-generated post per platform every day plus stories. Your own photos and past creations post without limit.
