What’s the pricing of Social Social Snap?

The pricing plan of Social Snap is very flexible. 2 months ago the cost was a little bit high but as Social Snap Plugin is improving, its pricing is very reasonable now.

Before the price goes higher I recommend you to purchase social snap as soon as you can.

However, Social Snap has limited features in a free version that is available at WordPress.org.

Social Snap Pro currently provides 3 plans for users.

  1. Plus Plan
  2. Pro Plan

Plus plan

If you have a single website and don’t want additional addons then plus plan is good for you. you can use it on 1 site and you will get all the premium features of Social Snap Pro. However additional addons are not included in this plan.

Pro plan

This plan offers extra premium extensions for both social login and auto-posting and it costs $99 and you can use it on up to 3 sites. If you have multiple sites then this is the best plan to purchase.

I also purchased the pro plan because I have multiple money-making sites and I want to use it on my different sites.

Agency Plan

The Agency plan is $299 and usable on up to 15 sites with all of those additional and cool features.

This is best for people who are running a big network of websites and have multiple websites to manage.
