I use Vista Social to replace Hootsuite and haven't had to look back, may have had issue a couple times with videos but ultimately it's been an overall great purchase, wish I bought tier 4 instead of three. They have been great at keeping up-to-date tutorials and have been quick to respond to any issues that I've had.
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 .
They don't keep to the Promises of APPSUMO terms!!
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!

One of the best purchases I've made on AppSumo
I use Vista Social to replace Hootsuite and haven't had to look back, may have had issue a couple times with videos but ultimately it's been an overall great purchase, wish I bought tier 4 instead of three. They have been great at keeping up-to-date tutorials and have been quick to respond to any issues that I've had.
