# Vista Social pricing, explained with real math

> Vista Social starts at $79/month, but X costs $29 extra, listening $75, advocacy $199. The real totals for common setups, explained plainly.

Pricing guide · updated August 2026

Vista Social's advertised price is $79/month for the Professional plan: 15 profiles and 2 users, with the $149 and $349 tiers above it. For a full-suite platform (publishing, listening, review management, advocacy), that entry price is genuinely competitive.

The number on the invoice, though, is the base plan plus the add-ons you tick. X (Twitter) publishing is $29/month on top of any plan. Social listening is +$75/month. Employee advocacy is +$199/month. AI credits are metered per tier (1,000 to 3,500 a month). Here's what common setups really total.

## The plans.

| Plan | Price | What’s included |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Professional | $79/month | 15 profiles, 2 users, the core suite. |
| Advanced | $149/month | More profiles, users, and higher AI-credit allowances. |
| Enterprise-level tier | $349/month | The full feature surface and the highest allowances. |
| Add-ons | X +$29/mo, listening +$75/mo, advocacy +$199/mo | Each billed on top of whichever plan you're on. |

## What you’d actually pay.

### One brand, the modern spread, no X

Professional at $79/month covers it with room to spare on profiles.

### One brand including X

$79 + $29 = $108/month before any other extras.

### Suite user: publishing + listening + X

$79 + $75 + $29 = $183/month on the entry plan.

## Know before you buy.

- X is an add-on at every tier, not included in any base plan.
- AI credits are metered per plan; heavy AI use pushes you up tiers.
- The deeper modules (listening, advocacy) are separate monthly line items, not tier unlocks.
- Profiles come in paid bundles as you grow past your plan's allowance.

## The honest verdict

If you're a team or agency that will genuinely use the suite (listening, reviews, advocacy), Vista Social is one of the most complete platforms at its price point, and the add-on model means you only pay for the modules you turn on.

If you're a business owner who mostly needs posts published, the relevant number is $108/month (base + X) versus a flat-rate scheduler. Unbusied is $33/month per Social Set with X included, unlimited posts (except X posts with links, 30 a month), and up to 5 team seats, and there are no add-ons to price in: $33 is the whole bill.

## Fair questions, straight answers.

### How much does Vista Social cost per month?

Plans are $79, $149, and $349 per month. On top of any plan, X (Twitter) publishing is a $29/month add-on, social listening is $75/month, and employee advocacy is $199/month. A single brand posting everywhere including X starts at about $108/month.

### Does Vista Social charge extra for X (Twitter)?

Yes, $29/month on top of any plan as of our last check. That's the single most common surprise in Vista Social's pricing, and it's almost the full price of a flat-rate scheduler like Unbusied ($33/month, X included).

### Does Vista Social have a free plan?

Vista Social's pricing centers on the paid tiers starting at $79/month. Check their pricing page for current trial terms, since these change more often than the plan structure does.

### Is Vista Social worth the price?

If the suite is your job (you manage clients, monitor mentions, run reviews and advocacy), yes: it's strong value against enterprise suites charging multiples more. If you'd only use the scheduler tab, you'd be paying suite prices for publishing you can get flat-rate.
