Alternative #1
Vibe code your own Hootsuite
Do not attempt to clone Hootsuite for production use; keep paying or use simpler standalone tools. The single biggest catch is that maintaining valid, production-ready OAuth connections and publishing permissions across Meta, X, LinkedIn, and TikTok APIs requires tedious corporate developer verification processes that individual developers routinely get locked out of. Score: 18/100 (Don't bother).
