Who Curator.io is for

  • Fits if you want posts from several networks on one site feed
  • Works for small sites that stay within 2,000 views a month

Who it is not for

  • Tight if you stay free: 3 sources, 2,000 views and a Powered by Curator link
  • Pricey if you need unlimited views: that is Business at $54 a month
  • Watch out: premium sources and API access are limited to Business and above
  • Watch out: the annual price is inferred from the page, which doesn't label which figure is which

Good to know

Good for

  • Small sites trying a social feed without paying
  • Brands that want to approve posts before they show
  • Sites with heavy traffic that need unlimited views on Business

Worth knowing

  • The free and Pro plans cap views per month (2,000 and 15,000); only Business is unlimited.
  • The Powered by Curator link is removed only on paid plans.
  • The annual price is inferred as the lower figure shown beside the 8% saving note; the page text does not label which figure is which.
  • Premium sources are marked with an asterisk and limited to Business and above.

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.

Your call

You could make the core of Curator.io for yourself: popups.

What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $276 a year.

What you could make

  • Popups: an app builder makes this well.
  • It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.

What you could not

  • It plugs into other products, Instagram, Facebook and X among them, and has an API.

What this rests on. Curator.io’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.
