Hopper HQ
Checked 26 Oct 2026 · source · 8 networks · API not stated · AI yes
Instagram and TikTok creators who want visual planning, a link-in-bio tool and an AI assistant.
You need public prices up front or a documented API; the pricing page text showed placeholders instead of numbers.
Overview
Hopper HQ is a visual planner that pitches itself at Instagram and TikTok creators. It lists Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, YouTube (as Shorts) and Bluesky. It has an AI assistant and a link-in-bio tool. Threads appears only in the Channels menu, so I have not counted it.
There are two plans. Grow is for 1 user, with unlimited posts, the AI assistant and link-in-bio, but no team permissions or approvals. Scale includes everything in Grow plus unlimited users, team permissions and content approvals. A 14-day free trial is offered, and no free plan is listed.
The prices are the gap. The pricing page rendered unfilled template placeholders instead of amounts when read, so I have no figure for either plan and all prices are null in my notes. I'd open the live page, or start the trial, to see the numbers before comparing it with anything. The shape is still informative: the split between the two plans is purely about team features, so a solo creator would sit on Grow and only teams would be pushed to Scale. No API is documented in my notes.
What it does well
- Unlimited posts are on both plans.
- Grow includes an AI assistant and link-in-bio.
- Scale adds unlimited users, permissions and approvals.
- It covers Instagram, TikTok and six other networks.
What to watch out for
- Prices could not be read from the pricing page.
- There is no free plan.
- Grow has no team permissions or approvals.
- No documented API is stated.
Plans and prices
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed annually, per month | Unit | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grow | Not published | Not published | per month | 1 user; unlimited posts; AI assistant; link-in-bio; no team permissions or approvals |
| Scale | Not published | Not published | per month | Everything in Grow plus unlimited users, team permissions, content approvals |
The structure is two plans split by team features. Grow is for a single user with unlimited posts, the AI assistant and link-in-bio, and no permissions or approvals. Scale includes everything in Grow and adds unlimited users, permissions and approvals. So the bill moves when you add people. The amounts themselves could not be read, because the pricing page showed template placeholders when read. I would not assume a figure.
