Vista Social: is $99 monthly or $950 annually right for your team?

A third colleague can change the budget

Vista Social brings scheduling, replies and reports for your social accounts into one place. A social profile is an account or page you connect, such as your company’s Instagram profile. Count those profiles separately from the people who need a login: a team managing ten profiles may still need a higher plan because three colleagues use it.

This article uses the cards; confirm the allowance in the order. A login should belong to each user, as the terms prohibit sharing credentials.

Annual billing pays off in the tenth month

Professional costs $891 for nine monthly payments (9 × $99), or $990 for ten. The $950 annual payment sits between them. The calculation is $950 ÷ $99 ≈ 9.60 months; Advanced and Scale also cross at about 9.60 months. The annual totals are about 20% below twelve monthly payments, with small rounding differences.

For Professional, $950 ÷ 12 = $79.17 is a monthly equivalent, not a monthly charge. If you need it for a short campaign, monthly billing keeps the initial payment to $99 before tax. If the same team will use it throughout the year, the $950 annual payment saves $238 against $1,188 (12 × $99).

Add the channels and approval steps you actually use

X is $29 a month extra. Professional plus X therefore costs $128 monthly ($99 + $29). With the base plan paid annually and X at the published monthly rate throughout the year, the model total is $950 + 12 × $29 = $1,298. The add-on’s billing cycle and any discount need to be confirmed in the order.

Listening across social networks, the web and news starts at $75 a month; tracking your own profiles is free. Employee Advocacy is free for three advocates, with pricing starting at $199 a month for 25 employees. Advanced adds multi-stage approvals and Zapier/Make integrations. Choose it for a workflow you need, rather than for spare capacity alone.

The dates to keep beside an annual payment

The terms of service require an annual plan to be canceled at least 30 days before renewal. Monthly plans renew monthly until canceled. Cancellation is available through the billing page, access continues to the paid period’s end and the unused portion is not refunded.

Monthly price changes require at least 30 days’ notice. Annual renewal prices may rise by up to 7%, with at least 60 days’ notice required for a larger increase. Upgrades charge the remaining cycle’s prorated difference; downgrades apply at the cycle’s end without a refund or credit and may reduce capacity or remove content. After termination, the account and content may be deleted within 30 days. Export what you need before closing it.

If a handful of posts on one account is all you need, test whether consolidating the work is worth the subscription during the 14-day trial, which needs no card. Professional is the starting point for up to two users and 15 profiles; Advanced accommodates three users or the more involved approval workflow. For four users or over 30 profiles, compare Scale, and request an expansion quote beyond its included capacity. Commit to annual billing after the trial only if you expect at least ten months of use.
