Works great but expensive

  • This is the best social media feed plugin we’ve used to date. However, the pro version price isn’t comparable to other plugins. $100 (USD) per site per social media platform is high – especially when you have to purchase a license for dev/staging sites in addition to production. They do appear to offer 50% off your first purchase, but unsure if that will be available upon renewal. Even at $50 (USD) per site per social media platform is a bit high if you need to license dev and staging sites. Would suggest to the developers they whitelist known WP hosting providers so they don’t need license keys (e.g. wpengine.com). Other plugin publishers offer this as part of their production licensing services.

    Hey @sjnbham,

    Thank you for the kind review here. I will leave you the same reply here just in case it helps another visitor as well.

    Of course, your review is related to the Pro version of our plugin and we do understand that the price is high for some, we have a strong focus on providing a product that is up to date with an ever-changing API, adding features and UX improvements, as well as our expert-level support that will help dig into any of your issues to ensure our plugin works right for you. This is the core reason for our pricing, a sustainable ground for us to provide a high level of service to our customers.

    As for the mention of dev and staging sites, you do not need an additional license for this, we have a few documents mentioning this such as here. We already automatically whitelist a few dev-related URLs and can definitely expand on that! Either way you are always welcome to reach out to our support that would be happy to add any dev, staging or testing site to your standard Personal (1-site) license.

    For additional questions about our pricing or pro version you are also welcome to provide more feedback to us via our contact form found here. If there is anything else we could do to bring our plugin from a 4-star to a 5-star solution for you do let us know!

    Thanks!
