Frequently asked
Is this really cheaper than Hootsuite?
Hootsuite's Team plan is $739/mo. Operator OS Growth is $149/mo — and includes email, SMS, blog, SEO, and Meta ads on top of social scheduling.
Does it post to X, LinkedIn, TikTok?
Yes. Meta (Facebook + Instagram) uses one-click OAuth. X, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Threads use standard developer app credentials — takes about 5 minutes per platform.
Will the same content get reposted across channels?
No. We hash every title, hook, and caption against the last 90 days across every channel and reject near-duplicates before publishing.
