Yearly billing saves about 20%. Extra users and profiles can be bought on the higher plans (profiles in blocks of 10 on Scale). Vista Social's FAQ still says Professional includes 3 users and Advanced 6; its plan cards and comparison table say 2 and 3. Confirm with Vista Social if the user count decides it for you.

There is no free plan any more. Older articles, including an earlier version of this page, described a free plan with 3 profiles and prices of $79, $149 and $379. Those no longer match Vista Social's pricing page.

SocialRails is far cheaper for a small team, but it has no inbox, no listening and no approval workflows. If those are why you are looking at Vista Social, SocialRails is not a substitute. For a head-to-head on simpler tools, see Vista Social vs Buffer.

You post to X every day. What does that add to a Vista Social bill?

What Vista Social Does Well

All-in-one management

Publishing, an inbox for messages, comments and reviews, reporting, a link in bio page and DM automations in one plan.

Listening and reviews

Listening on your own profiles is free, and review sites such as Yelp, TripAdvisor, Trustpilot and Google Play can be managed alongside social.

Agency features

Client approval workflows on Advanced, and white label and client profile connect on Scale.


What Vista Social Lacks

No free plan. Only a 14-day trial.

X costs extra. $29/month on top of any plan.

Few users per plan. 2, 3 and 4 users on the self-serve plans, with extra users at additional cost.

AI is credit-based. Captions and replies draw on AI credits.


Is Vista Social Worth It?

Worth it if you:

  • Want publishing, inbox, reviews and reporting in one tool
  • Run an agency that needs client approvals or white label
  • Manage many profiles with a small team

Not worth it if you:

  • Need a free plan
  • Mainly need scheduling and content creation on a tight budget
  • Need many users without paying for extras
