Vista Social
Social media management with inbox, DM automations and reviews
Vista Social report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 17, 2026
Best for agencies that also answer reviews
Vista Social packs a lot into one price: 15 profiles, a shared inbox with task assignment, DM automations, replies to Yelp and Trustpilot reviews, and a Mac app. It starts at $950 a year, about $79 a month, which is the dear end of this category. X is $29 a month on top.
Who Vista Social is for
- Great if your business lives on reviews as much as on social posts
- Good for agencies running lots of client profiles with a small team
- Handy when you want comments turned into leads with DM automations
Who Vista Social is not for
- Pricey if you're one person with five profiles, at about $79 a month
- Tight if more than 2 people need in, as Professional stops at 2 users
- Skip it if X is your main channel, since it's $29 a month extra
Why Vista Social gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyProfessional is $950 a year, about $79 a month, for 15 profiles and 2 users, which covers a team of two. That's above this category's $58 dearer quarter but under the $99 where the dearest tenth starts. X is another $29 a month.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan, but a 14-day trial with no card needed.
- BFeaturesPublishing to 9 networks, an inbox with notes and assignment, DM automations, review management for Yelp, TripAdvisor and the app stores, and competitor reports on every plan. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core job.
- CEase of useThere's no App Store rating on record for us to go by, and there's a lot to switch on: profiles, inbox, automations and review sites. So it gets the ordinary grade.
- APlatforms and integrationsWeb, a Mac app, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, with Canva, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Zendesk, Slack, Zapier, Looker Studio and an MCP connector. That's the full spread.

Keep Vista Social, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Vista Social you would be making one mailbox that several people work at once. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 15 of the 19 other social media schedulers we grade. It costs $1,188 a year.
What you could make
- Calendar and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- One mailbox that several people work at once.
- Apps for macOS, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, Canva, Google Drive and Dropbox among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Vista Social’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.
