- Team approvals: Scale and Agency plans[22].
- White-label: Agency plan only[27].
- Client connect links: Agency plan[44].

Who should pick which?
- Vista Social
- Stay on Vista Social if you want listening and a white-labelled dashboard under one login. Listening is free on your own profiles and from $75 a month across social, web and news[46], and it has white-labelled reports and dashboard on Scale[26], with a custom domain of your choosing[47].
- Aidelly
- Pick Aidelly if your team is bigger than Vista Social’s included users. It is priced per plan, with team members included (up to 8 on Scale, unlimited on Agency)[3], and it has white-label on the Agency plan only[27] and client connect links on the Agency plan[44].
- Sendible
- Pick Sendible if you want unlimited users on every plan[18] and can take a paid white-label add-on on Elite and Enterprise[28]. Profiles: 6 profiles per workspace[13].
- Agorapulse
- Pick Agorapulse if the inbox is the centre of your work: it has an all-in-one inbox for comments, DMs and reviews[48] and a CSV export of posts from the Publishing Calendar[49]. It is priced per user, with each additional user at the same rate[6], and it offers a 30-day free trial, as two 15-day trials, with no credit card[50].
How do you move from Vista Social to Aidelly?
- In Vista Social, export your queue as shareable calendar links or PDFs of published and scheduled posts[43]. Neither is a CSV Aidelly can import, so use them as a checklist while you recreate the posts in Aidelly.
- In Aidelly, set up one workspace per brand or client[52]; plans include 2 workspaces on Launch, 8 on Scale and unlimited on Agency[12].
- Connect each social account in its workspace. If clients connected their own profiles in Vista Social, send them a connect link that lets clients connect their own accounts[53], available as client connect links on the Agency plan[44].
- Recreate the posts with Bulk Fill, which turns a CSV into posts and schedules them after a preview[54]. That needs bulk content creation on the Scale and Agency plans[45], and the CSV header row has to match Aidelly's template exactly[55]. On Launch, bulk content creation is not included[56], so recreate the posts by hand.
- Rebuild your approval stages. In Aidelly, turn on Team Approvals, a workspace switch that holds members' posts until an owner or admin approves them[57], available as team approvals on the Scale and Agency plans[22]. For clients, add a magic link clients use to review and approve posts without logging in[58], available as client approval links on the Agency plan[59].
- Run both tools until the first Aidelly posts have published, then cancel Vista Social. If you pay for its listening, set up a replacement first.
What Vista Social does better
Vista Social covers a lot in one subscription. Listening is free on your own profiles and from $75 a month across social, web and news[46]. Its white label covers white-labelled reports and dashboard on Scale[26], with a custom domain of your choosing[47]. It brings messages, comments and reviews in one place[60], and it has an MCP server with 100+ tools[36] and a 14-day free trial with no credit card[61]. Profiles go a long way too: 15 social profiles on Professional, 30 on Advanced and 70 on Scale[11]. If you want listening, reviews and a white-labelled dashboard under one login, Vista Social is the stronger fit.

“Agorapulse offers a flexible 30-day free trial (two 15-day trials) to help you explore everything our platform has to offer, without needing to enter a credit card.”
