Prices checked June 2026 on vistasocial.com/pricing and cross-referenced across several sources. Extra profiles are bought in blocks of 10, at a rate that depends on your plan, to confirm on the official page. The Enterprise plan stays custom-quoted. Vista Social has no permanent free plan, only a 14-day trial with no card.
What makes the bill climb
The listed price covers a fixed number of profiles and users. As soon as you exceed those quotas or want social listening, add-ons stack on top. Here is what each extra piece costs.
Extra social profiles
Professional includes 15 profiles, Advanced 30, Scale 70. Beyond that, you buy profiles in blocks of 10, at a rate that depends on your plan. If you manage many brands, this is the line item that weighs on the bill fastest.
X (Twitter) integration
Publishing and scheduling on X runs through an add-on billed at $29/month, on top of your plan, because of the X API cost. The other networks (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok and so on) are included in the base price.
Social listening
Tracking your own profiles is free. But listening across social, web and news costs $75/month as an add-on. Budget for it if brand or competitor monitoring is part of your needs.
Employee Advocacy
The advocacy module is free for up to 3 advocates. For 25 employees, it jumps to $199/month. Handy for getting your team to amplify content, but it is a budget of its own.
- Managing fewer than 15 profiles? Professional is enough.
- Past the quotas? Buy blocks of 10 profiles or move up a tier.
- Posting on X? Add $29/month for the integration.
- Want monitoring? Social listening costs $75/month extra.
- White-label starts on Advanced: no need to go higher just for that.
How we size the real cost
Vista Social's listed price does not tell the whole story, because the real variable is how many profiles and users you run, plus the add-ons. For each typical profile, we start from the right plan on annual billing and add the options that genuinely help. Here is the logic.
- Base planProfessional, Advanced or Scale by volumeProfiles + users
- X add-onIf you publish and schedule on X$29
- Social listeningIf you monitor your brand or competitors$75
- Extra profilesBeyond the quotas included in your planBlocks of 10

Vista Social's price versus the alternatives
Vista Social's model (a flat plan with profiles and users included) changes everything once you run several brands. Here is how the entry price lines up against Buffer (per channel), Hootsuite (per seat) and Sprout Social (per seat, premium).
Entry prices checked June 2026. Different billing models.
Vista Social

- Unlimited scheduled posts
- 14-day free trial, no card
Buffer

- Free plan up to 3 channels
- Price climbs with every account
- 15 channels: around $75/month
Hootsuite
Billed per seat
- No free plan
- Standard from $99/user
- Price climbs with the team
Entry prices checked June 2026 on the official pages. Vista Social includes 15 profiles and 3 users in its $79/month Professional plan, where Buffer bills each channel and Hootsuite each seat. Sprout Social, more premium, starts at $199/user/month annually. To run many brands, Vista's flat model often works out cheaper.
So, is Vista Social expensive?
Our take after testing it: for the right profile, it is one of the best profile-to-price ratios out there. Here is when it pays off, and when it stings.
Good value if…
You manage several brands or clients. At $79/month with 15 profiles and 3 users included and unlimited posts, Vista Social avoids the per-seat blowup (Hootsuite, Sprout) and the per-channel blowup (Buffer). The more accounts you pilot, the more the price gap swings in its favor.
Less appealing if…
You run a single brand on 2 or 3 networks. Paying $79/month for 15 profiles is oversized: Buffer's free plan or a per-channel tool comes in cheaper. And if you publish on X and want listening, the add-ons ($29 and $75) push the bill up.
The verdict
Vista Social is an excellent social management engine at a fair price, as long as you think in number of profiles. Pick the plan that matches your volume, add X and listening only if you need them, and pay annually for -20%.
- Pay annually: 20% off every plan.
- Pick the plan as close as possible to your real profile count.
- Add the X add-on ($29) only if you truly publish on X.
- Hold social listening ($75) until monitoring becomes useful.
- Use the 14-day free trial, no card, to validate the tool.
Frequently asked questions about Vista Social pricing
How much does Vista Social cost per month?
Vista Social starts at $63.17/month on the Professional plan with annual billing, or $79/month billed monthly. That price already includes 15 social profiles, 3 users and unlimited scheduled posts. The higher plans rise to $119.17/month (Advanced, 30 profiles) and $303.17/month (Scale, 70 profiles) annually. The Enterprise plan is custom-quoted. The bill mainly climbs if you add profiles in blocks of 10 or add-ons like the X integration ($29/month) and social listening ($75/month).How much does Vista Social cost per year?
On annual billing, the Professional plan comes to $758/year, or about $63.17/month. Advanced costs $1,430/year (about $119.17/month) and Scale $3,638/year (about $303.17/month). The annual commitment saves 20% versus monthly on every plan. If you add extras like the X integration or social listening, count those on top of the plan price. Always check the exact rate on the official page before paying, since the tiers can change.Does Vista Social have a free plan?
No, Vista Social has no permanent free plan. It does offer a 14-day free trial, with no credit card, that gives you access to the features so you can test the tool on your own accounts. That is enough to validate scheduling, the calendar, analytics and review management before you commit. After the 14 days, you have to move to a paid plan, from $79/month monthly ($63.17/month annual), to keep publishing.How many social profiles are included in Vista Social?
The Professional plan includes 15 social profiles, Advanced 30 and Scale 70; Enterprise is unlimited. This is one of Vista Social's biggest advantages over tools billed per channel or per seat: you do not buy each profile one at a time on the base plans. Beyond the included quotas, you can buy extra profiles in blocks of 10, at a rate that depends on your plan, to confirm on the official page. Remember that each network for the same brand counts as a separate profile.How much do Vista Social add-ons cost?
Three add-ons come up often. The X (Twitter) integration costs $29/month on top of the plan, because of the X API cost. Social listening across social, web and news costs $75/month (tracking your own profiles is free). Employee Advocacy is free for up to 3 advocates, then jumps to $199/month for 25 employees. The other main networks (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok) are included in the base price at no extra cost.Is Vista Social cheaper than Buffer or Hootsuite?
It depends on how many profiles you run. Buffer bills per channel (about $5/channel/month annually, with a free plan up to 3 channels): for 15 channels you land around $75/month, similar to Vista Social, but without the users or agency features. Hootsuite bills per seat, from $99/user/month, so its price climbs with the team. Vista Social, which includes 15 profiles and 3 users for $79/month, is often the better deal once you manage several brands with a team.Is there a discount for paying Vista Social annually?
Yes. Annual billing saves 20% on every Vista Social plan versus monthly. Professional goes from $79 to $63.17/month, Advanced from $149 to $119.17/month and Scale from $349 to $303.17/month. That is the main way to pay Vista Social less. Be wary of unofficial third-party coupon codes. The best lever stays the annual commitment, plus choosing the plan as close as possible to your real profile count.What is the price difference between Professional and Advanced?
The Professional plan costs $63.17/month annually (15 profiles, 3 users, 2,500 AI credits), while Advanced costs $119.17/month (30 profiles, 6 users, 10,000 AI credits). The gap pays off mainly if you exceed 15 profiles, need more users, or want white-label reports and dashboard, the Zapier and Make integrations and extended review monitoring (Yelp, TripAdvisor, Trustpilot). For a single brand or a freelancer, Professional is usually enough.How much does Vista Social cost for an agency?
For an agency, there are two scenarios. If you manage up to 30 profiles, the Advanced plan at $119.17/month annually, plus the X add-on ($29) and social listening ($75) if needed, lands you around $223/month all in. For high volume, the Scale plan at $303.17/month annually goes up to 70 profiles, 10 users, unlimited AI credits and DM automation. Beyond that, the Enterprise plan, custom-quoted, unlocks unlimited profiles and users, sentiment detection and a dedicated account manager.Can I cancel Vista Social easily?
Yes, the subscription is managed and canceled from your account, and you can switch plans as your profile count changes. Because the 14-day trial requires no credit card, you can test with no risk of a surprise charge. Before closing your account, remember to export your reports, media and analytics data, and to reconnect your social accounts elsewhere if you migrate. Also check your renewal date on annual billing so you are not renewed by mistake.
