Why Sayweek
What Sayweek does differently from Hootsuite
Content from your week, not just a calendar to fill
A management platform organises the work. Sayweek does the writing: topics come from your calendar, meetings, notes, CRM and the news, and each draft shows where it came from.
Sounds like you – or like each client
Every brand has its own voice and rules, and Sayweek learns from each edit. Agencies keep every client's tone separate.
Approval without the overhead
You approve on the web or on your phone; clients approve on a link without an account. Nothing is published before that.
EU data storage and GDPR
An EU database, a data processing agreement for every customer, and no AI training on your data.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sayweek a Hootsuite alternative?
It depends on what you use Hootsuite for. If you mainly need posts to go out regularly in your own voice, Sayweek covers that – and writes the posts too. If your team relies on social listening and enterprise reporting, a platform like Hootsuite is the better fit.
Does Sayweek have social listening?
Not in the sense of a monitoring suite. Sayweek has a news radar: the news and RSS sources you choose become topic ideas. Replies to your posts arrive in its comment inbox.
Is Sayweek suitable for agencies?
Yes. Each client brand gets its own voice and rules, clients approve on a link without signing in, and there are monthly PDF reports. White-label and larger limits come with the bigger plans – see the pricing page.
Where is my data stored?
In an EU database. Every customer gets a data processing agreement (DPA), and your data is never used to train AI models.
Can I try Sayweek for free?
Yes – 14 days free, no card required, and you can cancel any time. After the trial, plans start at €29 per month + VAT (Solo). The pricing page always shows today's prices.
