We were tired of paying
$99/mo for Hootsuite
Solo freelance social media managers and small agencies are paying enterprise prices for tools designed for Fortune 500 social teams. We built Made4Founders so they don't have to — AI per-platform caption rewrites, multi-platform scheduling, unified inbox, and analytics at $49/mo flat.
Our Story
Made4Founders started when we watched solo freelance social media managers run the same numbers we'd run on ourselves. Hootsuite Pro at $99/mo. Buffer at $15/channel. AI caption tools at $29/mo. The bill made no sense for one person scheduling 15 posts a week across 4 platforms.
Every solo SMM and small agency we talked to had the same problem: per-seat pricing, AI as a paid add-on, annual contracts that lock you in, and unified inboxes priced for enterprise teams.
We looked for an alternative but everything was either too expensive (Hootsuite, Sprout Social) or too thin (Buffer's AI is one generic caption — you still rewrite per platform yourself). So we built what we wished existed: AI per-platform rewrites, multi-platform scheduling, unified inbox, and analytics — all included on every plan.
Made4Founders is the Hootsuite alternative for solo freelance social media managers, small agencies, and small business owners who got tired of paying enterprise prices. We also bundle a 96-item compliance checklist, an encrypted credential vault, and an AI business assistant — because we use those ourselves.
Our Journey
Our Values
The principles that guide everything we build.
Built for Operators, Not Enterprise
We build for solo freelance social media managers, agencies, and small business owners — not enterprise IT departments. Every feature saves you time and reduces complexity.
Security Without Compromise
Your client credentials and content are sacred. We use bank-level AES-256-GCM encryption with zero-knowledge storage and never compromise security for convenience.
Speed Over Perfection
We ship fast and iterate based on user feedback. Your needs drive our roadmap.
Honest Pricing
No per-seat tax. No annual lock-in. No hidden AI credits. $49/mo flat — and the price stays $49 whether you have one user or five.
Our Mission
To give every solo freelance social media manager, small agency, and small business owner the tools they need to grow on social media — without paying enterprise prices for them.
