Bottom line
Iconosquare is the pick for teams evaluating scheduled report delivery, and it's the only one of the two with a free scheduling plan. Vista Social fits agencies and teams that want publishing, listening, and review management in one tool better, and it reaches Google Business and Bluesky among others, which Iconosquare doesn't.
A verified price comparison requires the same billing term, currency and eligible workload. See each pricing section for the published terms. Vista Social adds a link-in-bio page that Iconosquare leaves out.
