Unlock the full potential of social with the most complete all-in-one social media management platform

SCAM ALERT: Bait-and-Switch "Lifetime Deal" – Avoid Vista!

Do NOT trust Vista’s "Lifetime Deal" promises. I paid for what was advertised as UNLIMITED resources, only for them to silently impose a 1GB limit months later. This is a textbook bait-and-switch scam.

Why this is unacceptable:
False Advertising: Sold as "lifetime unlimited," now retroactively capped.

Zero Warning: No email, no consent—just woke up to broken functionality.

Underhanded Tactics: Quietly altering terms after taking our money is predatory.

Vista betrayed paying customers who supported them early. My account is now useless for real-world use. Their excuse? "Terms may change"—a cowardly cover for scamming loyal users.

To potential buyers: Run. If they’ll exploit LTD purchasers, they’ll exploit you too.
To Vista: Restore the original terms or refund every LTD customer you deceived.

I am no longer interested in appsumo as about half the deals have done the same scam or just walked away. Can anything be done sumos end? If not i am out.

I have been using Vista Social without issue for the past couple of years. The software worked as intended and I felt I was getting my money's worth. There were some features that were lacking, but the overall app worked well enough that I put those aside.

That was until a couple of weeks ago when I was trying to upload my shorts and then my linkedin posts.

Nothing was uploaded. After a search, I found that they recently and WITHOUT NOTIFYING THEIR CUSTOMER BASE that they drastically reduced the upload limits to 1GB or 100 images per 24 hours. This was only implemented to legacy and LTD plans.

I generally upload a month of shorts (avg 200mb), a month of posts, and a month of carousels at the beginning of each month. With the new limits, I'd be posting nearly daily for 2.5-3 weeks to get the content in which I don't have time to do and defeats the point of a scheduler.

Yes, they say unlimited posts, but they are limiting in another way so drastically (can't be realistically used for shorts unless you're scheduling a few posts at a time) that it makes the software unusable.

And the worst part, is they never notified users of this change. I had to find it buried in the fine print. I've talked to other users as well and they weren't notified either. This is bad business practice.

To be honest, I'm getting leery of Appsumo LTDs because once they are off Appsumo and got their money, they treat those who supported them when they needed an influx of cash, as second-class citizens.

The software works if you pay a monthly subscription, but their support is horrible and takes 12-24 hours to get a response, if you get one at all. I would not recommend this company in the future. And that's sad, because I had recommended them in the past.

I made a significant investment when the deal was available, aiming to get the best Appsumo LTD . I purchased a premium 4 deal. However, I have found that this deal does not live up to that investment, as it is filled with bugs and errors occur every time I try to post something. Drafts vanish instantly, and the AI feature is inconsistent; once you choose a prompt, it fails to save the approved content and take it to the editor . Additionally, it does not support RTL languages, and working with LTR text is very tough as it is not user friendly. Moreover, new features are excluded and require an upgrade. The platform is unreliable and cannot adequately support any professional business. There are numerous other applications on AppSumo that are cheaper and more reliable. Just name it the dashboard design is boring publishing their usless news and updates . U/UX is a big failure so for me it is one of the worst investments .

If you buy this EXPECT that they will not let you upgrade/downgrade or do anything else - unless you go on their MONTHLY subscription - AWFUL money grabbers!

GREAT Software - FAKE/unhelpful OWNERS that agreed to APPSUMOs terms just to Gain a bunch of people that would then HAVE TO become MONTHLY subscribers and they did all this AFTER the Refund period was over!! AWFUL!

I bought Vista Social in Aug 2023 and it keeps improving a lot as at today in Feb 2025. The admin GUI is revamped and look very organized now. Many social media platforms are available for connection. I feel peace of mind to use Vista Social as I don't need to check the inbox of each social media platforms individually, but I can see all the messages in the unified inbox in Vista Social. I can also mark the incoming message spam or assign task if follow up is needed. Statistics is also available after the post is uploaded to social media platforms even though they are post by other third party scheduler (not Vista Social). I am highly impressive to see Vista Social to have such big enhancement that I write this review now. Keep up the good work !!!!!!!!

Believe it or not, if you schedule a regular email report, it CANNOT BE DELETED OR EDITED. So if you ask it to send a report every Monday, the only way to amend it or edit it is to MANUALLY go through the calendar and one by one delete each instance of the email for eternity. Sucked in if you send it to multiple team members because each one is a new calendar entry for you to manually delete! For eternity 😂
When you ask for help you’re told your feedback is important but there’s nothing they can do on their end.
Of course there’s no warning of that when you schedule a report so it’s essentially begging you to delete your account. Which I highly recommend. If it wasn’t past the deadline I would be absolutely asking for the money back.

I wanted to like this publishing tool. It has all the bells and whistles to support a social media publishing tool, but 2 issues sent me back to my original tools:

##Deal
1. Tier 1 Appsumo customers were originally mapped to the "Pro plan" on their site. They now map to a new "Standard" Plan which actually has LESS features than the Appsumo Tier 1 plan. Essentially, downgrading and blocking Appsumo customers out of feature updates of a Pro Plan.

##Functionality
2. Queue categories (labels, tags etc) are non-existent in Tier 1 and not mentioned in their Appsumo listing for any Tier .

It is impossible to manage a social media content strategy if you're not able to categorise your posts. Which is why it comes as standard in most tools in this niche.

While this tool has great features around publishing media, it's the actual publishing functionality that is lacking in a core feature at Tier 1

For the above reasons I've given 3 stars.

Ok yes I purchase products with the intent to use them one day. This was no difference, and I was mad I didn't full stack. I lined up all the social media schedulers and this by far is the best. I upload my work-out videos to VS and type everything one time, let the video process schedule and done. I wish I full stack this instead of followr.
I'm sure there are other features that I need to dive into but with reels and shorts being the new trend this is perfect. If they come back to Appsumo, make sure to purchase if you already haven't.

I have purchased dozens of solutions on AppSumo, and "Vista Social" has undoubtedly delivered the most over the years. They have consistently improved the product and, today, I believe it is one of the best social media posting aggregators on the market.

I doubt they will ever come back to AppSumo, as they are already very advanced and established. If they ever launch a product again, I recommend purchasing a few tiers or go all in

I've bought quite a few products on AppSumo, and most are generally good, but this is one of the first and best purchasing decisions I've made. It's been wonderful watching VS grow into a powerhouse social media management tool. I doubt this will come back to AppSumo because of the success it seems like they're having, but if it does, buy it immediately.

Vista Social is just awesome! Around the same time I purchased Vista Social, there were several other Social Media Management LTD solutions available and on sale. I ended up getting a few of them too, but none have developed and evolved as remarkably as Vista Social!

What sets Vista Social apart is its comprehensive feature set that makes social media management a breeze. It offers robust scheduling options, allowing you to plan your posts with precision across multiple platforms. The analytics dashboard provides in-depth insights, helping you track engagement and optimize your strategy effectively.

The platform also supports social listening, enabling you to monitor brand mentions and trends in real-time, which is crucial for staying ahead in the fast-paced world of social media. Additionally, Vista Social's intuitive content calendar simplifies collaboration with team members, streamlining your workflow.

Usually, I write about communication like support and customer service, but with Vista Social, I never had a reason to reach out to their support. Everything is so nicely presented with tutorials and is self-explanatory.

Even if this deal doesn't return, I can confidently say that Vista Social is absolutely worth any subscription fee! Its continuous development and user-friendly design make it an indispensable tool for anyone serious about effective social media management.

The product doesn't work on the first try because no photo is sent to Google. This shows me in the backend that a photo has been inserted, but it is not displayed in the Google my Business profile.
When I try to contact support I get such an unprofessional and nonsensical answer that neither solves my problem nor fits my question.
My query was then not answered at all.
What a disastrous business.
I deeply regret buying this.
