The report card
Best for social sharing and auto-posting on WordPress
Social Snap is a WordPress plugin for share buttons, follow buttons and auto-posting, from $39 a year for one site. The page says the lower price is for the first purchase and renewals cost more without saying how much, and it only works on self-hosted WordPress.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Plus is $39 a year for one site, about $3.25 a month, but the page says a discounted first-purchase price applies and doesn't give the renewal. Pro is $99 for 3 sites. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing is free: no free plan or trial, only a 30-day money-back guarantee. |
| Features | C | 34 share providers, 40 follow networks, counters, statistics and meta tags. The listing's gap: auto-poster, social login and boost old posts are addons not in Plus. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A WordPress plugin you install and configure. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Self-hosted WordPress only, with Bitly and Google Analytics, across social networks. No other site platforms. |
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 Social Snap is for
- Fits if you run self-hosted WordPress and want share buttons with counters
- Makes sense if you want auto-posting and are happy with the $99 plan
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want to try it, as there is no free plan or trial
- Skip it if your site isn't self-hosted WordPress
- Pricey if you want auto-poster or social login: addons need Pro at $99 a year
- Watch out: the renewal price isn't stated, and the page says renewals are at full price
Good to know
Good for
- WordPress blogs that want share and follow buttons in one plugin
- Site owners who also want old posts reshared automatically
- Agencies covering up to 15 client sites
Worth knowing
- It works only on self-hosted WordPress, not on other platforms.
- The pricing page says a discounted price applies to the first purchase and renewals are at full price, without giving the renewal amount.
- There is no trial; the page offers a 30-day money-back guarantee instead.
- Addons such as auto-poster and social login are excluded from the Plus plan.

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
To replace Social Snap you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 41 of the 54 other popup and widget tools grade higher. It costs $39 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Social Snap’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.
