Despite purchasing a Tier 4 plan, Vista Social has now removed support for X profiles. They initially started charging me $10/mo for each X profile, which I reluctantly obliged because I was happy with the platform.
Now, with no notice, they've tripled that to $29/mo/profile, citing "X Enterprise costs."
How is it my fault that their platform scaled enough to be impacted by X API costs? Why...
DO NOT BUY VISTA SOCIAL! They have changed the terms and conditions for everyone that purchased and supported their AppSumo plans! Absolute fraud and theft from consumers!
AppSumo is no better. They are completely dismissing this issue and saying that "it was a tough decision."
Has effectively solidified my decision to continue using this site.

Q: Request for clarification regarding contractual obligations for X access under AppSumo deal terms
Good morning. I have 2 Vista Social AppSumo accounts: 1 Tier 3 and 1 Tier 4. Your AppSumo listing promised “All current and future social networks” and “All future Custom AppSumo Plan updates.”
Based on that wording, buyers reasonably understood that X would be included. Charging existing AppSumo customers extra for X appears inconsistent with the deal as advertised.

:) well, not really a fraud :D .. X changed their financial model and started charging for APIs (as I understand) and Visa Social (being a start-up) adjusted. Noone wants Vista Social to go out of business - definetelly not me. We all need to be profitable in the end of the day. Another proof that building software on top of X/FB and others is dangerous :) Still loving and using Vista Social :)) H
If you don’t consider a company changing their terms and conditions that are set at the time of sale then you deserve to be taken advantage of. The only purpose these companies use App Sumo is to get quick funds and word of mouth, we as the first supporters should be provided EXACTLY what we purchase. Regardless of changes to other platforms that is not our financial responsibility!
Good morning, I bought 2 max packages from them here at AppSumo - so, do have "skin in the game" :) I understand what you say. Still, do we want them close the business? I don't. You? Tough situation for Vista Social - especially as technically they made contractual obligations to their clients here. I am happy not to be in their shoes. Let us all be reasonable, ok? :) Happy Monday! Helmuts
Of course I don’t want them to close their business. However for any business to be trustworthy they need to honor their obligations of the what they sold us and what THEY made as the terms and features we were buying into. That’s why these LTD are sold in limiting amount, it’s a hit for them so that they can get early quick funds, while new supporters are provided with full features THEY OFFER!
Q: Tier 3 has been downgraded to 100 posts (as Tier 2), but can you not increase it to something mid-3 digit looking?
For Tier 3 users if you have to downgrade us then could you please make it at least 300 posts per month... as that follows the same logic as 100 for tier 2, Because the Tier two verses unlimited posts in Tier 3 was a big shocking difference... right? Downgrade us to 300 please, not down to some much nearer to a two-digit number practically (99s, lol). Also, when will you introduce LINE app to your ecosystem? Thats vital around the world. TY
Q: Why do I have to upgrade to add X and other social accounts?
I have the Tier 3 LTD which allows 40-social accounts and I'm only using 14. When I try and add X AND some of the others, I am getting this notice...

A: X (Twitter) stopped offering Free API access to all tools almost 2 years ago. Vista Social is having to transition into X's Enterprise services offering. This does mean that X is now a paid on for all users (not just Appsumo users). Appsumo plan mirror our standard plans - both when it comes to new features and improvements as well as it comes to plan updates.

Q: Which official plan AppSumo Tier 3 matches?
Your website currently has Advanced, Professional, Scale and Enterprise?
You also introduced DM Automations. Do we get the Advanced DM Automation feature (tier 3)? If yes, what are the limits??
I think it is appropriate that you indicate for us on our plan page not just "Appsumo tier 3" but all the features that we have with their limits.
Thank you!
