The report card
Best for share buttons for any website
AddToAny adds share and follow buttons to a site or WordPress, free and without an account. Its statistics go to Google Analytics because there is no dashboard, and the plugins differ by platform.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free, with no paid plan or fee of any kind on the pages we read. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Free outright: the plugin page says there is no signup or account to manage. |
| Features | C | Share menu, floating share bar, counters and follow buttons. It does a smaller job fully, and it has no dashboard of its own. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record. Drop in a plugin or a script and the buttons appear, with no account. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | A web script plus plugins for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Blogger and Tumblr, a browser extension, a JavaScript API and Google Analytics. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who AddToAny is for
- Fits if you want share buttons without an account or a bill
- Works for sites on WordPress, Drupal, Joomla or a plain script
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a dashboard of shares, as statistics go to Google Analytics
- Too light for social posting or scheduling: it only shares
- Watch out: features can differ between WordPress, Drupal and the plain script
- Watch out: the pages read don't say how the project is funded
Good to know
Good for
- Publishers who want share buttons without an account or fee
- WordPress and Drupal sites that prefer an open source plugin
- Developers who want to customize buttons with a JavaScript API
Worth knowing
- There is no hosted dashboard; sharing statistics go to Google Analytics.
- Plugins are made for each platform, so features can differ between WordPress, Drupal and a plain script.
- The pages read do not say how the project is funded.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
AddToAny is free, so making your own would save you nothing.

What this rests on. AddToAny’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
