Why agencies pick Kyte
Your agency needs to onboard brands, get clients to sign off and keep the work moving. Here's how the two products approach it.
Onboarding
On Hootsuite you set up the brand details and connect accounts from your dashboard. In Kyte you send one link. The client answers brand questions and connects their own accounts. No password hand-offs, no kickoff call.
Hootsuite account setupBrand voice
Hootsuite's Wisdom can learn brand voice from a connected account's recent posts. Kyte starts with the client's own answers, then keeps their voice, preferred words and brand rules in a profile your team can edit.
Hootsuite's brand voice toolsApprovals
Hootsuite supports sequential and parallel approvals on Advanced and Enterprise. Kyte includes a workflow builder in Studio. Set your stages, send edits back to the writer and decide who gets notified when.
Hootsuite approval plans and setupClient sign-off
Hootsuite's approval process uses members of your organization with access to the social account. In Kyte the client gets a link by email. They open it, approve or ask for a change. No login or paid seat needed.

Hootsuite includes internal comments and inbox collaboration on Advanced. Kyte also has team chat, direct messages and workspace conversations, so the campaign thread and the quick question can stay beside the posts.
