In our last post, we informed we were dropping our free plan. We also reflected on some of the reasons that had led to such decision. Today, we’d like to continue that rational and introduce our new pricing structure.
As some of you know (and remember), GetSocial started out as a tools/widgets software. During the last couple of years, we provided tools for our customer’s needs. During that period, we came to the conclusion that some segments of web analytics were underserved. As such, we focused on providing better social traffic attribution and dark social measurement.
So, it stopped making sense to us to still be mostly known as a social widgets software. So did giving free accounts to convince users to upgrade to a $9 plan, consequently adding thousands of websites to our support responsibilities.
Conclusion: there’s no reason to invest in something we can’t add much value to.
It became crystal clear that we should focus elsewhere. Before I start explaining the new plans, I want to assure that:
- Our current paying users will not be affected in any way;
- I will suggest free alternatives at the end of this message for people that have no interest or availability to spend money on software;
That said, our new offering focuses on delivering value through our vision’s foundation:
– Proper Social Attribution: Through our tools, we’ll continue to measure all social interactions happening on your website. This works for classic share buttons or copy paste sharing.
– Real-time sharing analytics: We’ll continue reporting what’s getting viral, where and why.
– Virality Alerts: We’ll expand instant notifications (via email or slack) to all plans. Alerts will notify you once something’s getting viral, earning a lot of shares or generating a ton of traffic.
– Social Automation: Also available in some plans, our brand-new feature. GetSocial manages the publishing on your Facebook page for you, always picking the content from your website that has the best chance of becoming viral, driving more traffic from social and making you spend less time planning.
Here’s a summary of how pricing will look like, starting February 15th, 2017.

It’s been a wild ride and we would love to have you with us on this journey. We’re first and foremost, a product company and, despite the fact that we’re a small team we’re proud to have customers like Adobe, Sky, Forbes and many others with us.
However, we completely understand if you don’t the means to pay for our tools. If that’s your case, we recommend AddThis or SumoMe, both of which have freemium models similar to the one we had.
