Vista Social packs a lot into one tool: scheduling to a dozen networks, a unified inbox with DM automations, listening, review management, competitor analysis, and a link-in-bio page.

  • Flat, quota-bundled plans: each tier bundles a set number of social profiles and users, and you move up a plan as you grow rather than buying one profile at a time. Extra users run about $3.75 a month each, and extra profiles are available on the higher tiers.
  • X (Twitter) is a paid add-on at $29 a month on every plan (publishing, boosting, automations, and analytics), because of X's API pricing.

  • There's no free plan (Vista Social dropped its old free tier and cheaper Standard plan when it revamped pricing); the way in is a 14-day trial, no card required.
  • Annual billing is about 20% cheaper: Professional works out to $64 a month, Advanced $120, Scale $304.
  • DM automation contacts are capped per plan (10,000 / 25,000 / 100,000), and the AI assistant is credit-limited (2,500 / 10,000 / unlimited a month).
  • Prices are USD, read off the live pricing page by toggling monthly and yearly and cross-checked against current third-party listings.
