Feedly vs Vista Social

vs

Feedly isn't a social media scheduler at all. It's a content-discovery and monitoring tool, an RSS reader with AI on top, that social media managers use to find and track content. To actually schedule, you pair it with a real scheduler.

$6 /mo
Free plan

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. It used to be the cheap option, but it dropped its free plan and reset pricing higher, so the entry is now $79 a month.

Bottom line

Feedly and Vista Social both cover the basics; the right one comes down to how you post. Feedly is the stronger pick for Social media managers who need a steady stream of content ideas; choose Vista Social for Agencies and teams that want publishing, listening, and review management in one tool.

  • Shared boards, team AI feeds, integrations
  • Feedly is a content reader and discovery tool, not a social scheduler. It does not schedule or auto-publish social posts; it surfaces content you can then share manually or push into a scheduler like Buffer or Hootsuite (often via Zapier), which means paying for two tools.
  • Plans: a free tier (100 sources), Pro at $6 a month on annual billing, Pro+ at $8.25 (adds Feedly AI / Leo), and an Enterprise market-intelligence plan from around $1,600 a month.
  • Prices are USD from current listings.
  • It's included here because social media managers use it to find and monitor content, not because it publishes.

  • Custom pricing, unlimited profiles and users
  • Sentiment detection, premium analytics, brand safety and compliance
  • Dedicated account manager, custom integrations, SSO, data migration
  • 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.
  • Social listening is free for your own profiles; listening across social, web, and news is a $75-a-month add-on. Employee Advocacy is a separate $199-a-month add-on for 25 employees.
  • 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.
