Vista Social is a genuinely deep all-in-one suite — publishing, a social inbox, review monitoring, listening, and employee advocacy in one place. But its cheapest plan is a team bundle that lists at $79/month (verified June 10, 2026), priced in USD, with X (Twitter) sold as a paid add-on and Mastodon missing. Here is what each plan actually includes, where the costs hide, and who the bundle genuinely makes sense for.
Quick answer
Vista Social starts at $79/month — $64/month billed annually ($758/year, verified June 10, 2026) — for the Professional plan, which bundles 15 social profiles and 3 user seats whether you need them or not. There is no smaller solo tier and no free plan, just a 14-day no-card trial. X (Twitter) costs an extra $29/month on every tier.

Prices are listed in USD. Cards show the per-month yearly rate (billed up front, ~20% off); the compare table lists both monthly and yearly figures. Every plan is a bundle sized for teams — there is no creator or solo tier below Professional. The 14-day trial requires no credit card; there is no free plan, and no money-back guarantee is mentioned anywhere on the page (verified June 10, 2026).

Hidden costs
Vista Social’s compare table lists X (Twitter) publishing, boosting, automations, and analytics as a paid add-on at +$29/month — and the row appears under all four plan columns, Professional through Enterprise (verified June 10, 2026). Adding one of the most common networks to a $79/month plan takes the real entry total to about $108/month, before anything else (derived: $79 + $29 = $108/month, from list prices).
Beyond X, full social listening across social, web, and news is listed at +$75/month, and employee advocacy starts at $199/month for 25 employees (verified June 10, 2026). Listening on your own profiles and advocacy for a tiny group are free, to be fair — but the full versions the marketing leads with cost extra. The $79 headline can quietly become a three-figure bill once you switch on the suite.
Professional bundles 15 social profiles and 3 user seats; there is no smaller plan beneath it (verified June 10, 2026). A solo operator with a handful of accounts is buying a three-person package designed for a team. The compare table shows extra-profile and extra-user rows as icon-only on Professional/Advanced and “Customizable” on Scale — no per-unit overage price is published, so confirm before you scale.
There is no free-forever plan — only a 14-day trial (no card required), and no refund or money-back guarantee is mentioned anywhere on the pricing page (verified June 10, 2026). Some users report on G2 and Trustpilot that pricing and plan terms have shifted over time, so it is worth screenshotting your terms at signup. Vista Social’s 14-day trial is, in fairness, longer than SocialKit’s 7 days.
Zapier, Make, and MCP integrations are listed only from the Advanced plan at $149/month ($120/month billed annually) — they are not on Professional (verified June 10, 2026). If your workflow depends on automations, the real entry price is Advanced, not Professional: roughly $1,430/year billed annually, almost double the $758 you might have budgeted from the headline.

Honest take
Vista Social is worth it for the buyer it is built for: agencies and mid-size teams that will actually use the breadth. Publishing, a unified social inbox, review monitoring, social listening, employee advocacy, and AI tools genuinely live under one roof, every plan bundles multiple seats, and the 14-day no-card trial lets you test it properly. If you manage social for clients or a multi-person brand — and Snapchat or Reddit, which it supports and many tools skip, matter to you — the bundle is coherent and the per-feature math improves at scale.
The math turns when you mainly want clean scheduling. Then the $79/month entry is a three-seat, 15-profile package you will not fill, X costs an extra $29/month, listening and advocacy cost more on top, and there is no solo tier to step down to. Agency that will use the suite: worth it. Solo creator who schedules posts: do the add-on math first.
If you landed here because the $79/month three-seat bundle is more than you need, SocialKit attacks the exact line items that inflate Vista Social’s real cost. Every plan covers all 11 platforms — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, Mastodon, and Google Business — at a flat EUR price, with X included at no surcharge (Vista Social lists it as a +$29/month add-on) and Mastodon supported (Vista Social does not list it at all). Solo is €29/month (€17.40/month billed annually) with 15 social accounts — the same profile count as Professional, sized and priced for one person.
The team math holds, too: SocialKit Team is a flat €49/month (€29.40/month billed annually) with 30 social accounts and 2 seats, extra teammates €2 each and extra accounts €4 each, with AI on every plan (metered credits, not unlimited) and API + webhooks everywhere — ready for Zapier, Make, and n8n on the cheapest plan. Honest caveat: if you are an agency that will genuinely use the social inbox, review management, listening, and advocacy — or you need Snapchat or Reddit — Vista Social’s suite is deeper than SocialKit attempts. For everyone else, the trial is 7 days, €0.00 due today, with a 7-day money-back guarantee.
