SociableKit and Zyff
SociableKit is built around sources: an Instagram account, a Google Business Profile, a Facebook page. You connect one, and its widgets display what that source publishes. Zyff connects to several of the same sources — Google, Facebook and Yelp reviews, and Instagram feeds — and also builds widgets that have no source at all.
The free plans make opposite trade-offs, and so do the paid ones. SociableKit's pricing page opens on its yearly prices, so both billing periods are given below.
The free plans
SociableKit's free plan is one source, one widget, one domain, one teammate and up to 2,000 monthly views, with SociableKit branding on the widget. Content syncs when you request it — generally once every 24 hours on the free plan, by SociableKit's own account.
Zyff's free plan is 1 saved widget and 200 views a month, reset on the 1st (UTC), with a small attribution link, on any number of websites. For Google reviews it collects up to 200 per business and shows up to 50, refreshing when you ask from the editor.
If your page gets more than a few hundred views a month and you do not want to pay, SociableKit's free plan is the better one. There is no way to put that more kindly.
| SociableKit Free | Zyff Free | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly views | 2,000 | 200 |
| Widgets | 1 | 1 |
| Websites | 1 domain | Unlimited |
| Refresh | Manual request, about once every 24 hours | When you ask, from the editor |
| Branding | SociableKit branding | Small attribution link |
Paid plans
SociableKit Pro costs $10 a month billed monthly, or $9.17 a month billed $110 a year. It covers one source — more at $5 a month each — with unlimited widgets for that source, unlimited views, unlimited domains, automatic sync and no branding. Business, at $40 a month, raises that to ten sources.
Zyff's Basic costs $3 a month, billed monthly, for 3 saved widgets of any type and 5,000 views a month; Pro is $6 for 9 widgets and 50,000 views. Zyff caps views below its top tier, where SociableKit Pro does not.
So the paid choice turns on traffic. Under 5,000 views a month, Zyff is the cheaper paid plan; for one busy feed, SociableKit's unlimited views at $10 a month are hard to beat.
What each one builds
SociableKit says it supports more than 100 source types — social networks, review sites and other platforms. Zyff builds 31 widget types; most of them need no source at all, and its saved-widget allowance counts every type together.
When SociableKit is the better choice
- You want a free widget for a page with more than a few hundred views a month: SociableKit's free plan allows 2,000.
- You need one feed or review source on a busy site: SociableKit Pro gives unlimited views and automatic sync for $10 a month.
- The source you need is one Zyff does not connect to — SociableKit lists more than 100.
- You want new posts and reviews to arrive without pressing anything. SociableKit Pro syncs automatically; Zyff refreshes only when you ask.
When Zyff is the better choice
- Your site is modest and you want a paid plan: $3 a month covers 3 widgets and 5,000 views, billed monthly.
- You need widgets with no data source — an FAQ, a menu, a countdown, opening hours — under the same plan as your reviews widget.
- You embed on more than one website: Zyff's free plan has no domain limit.
- You also want free image, text and web tools with no watermark on the output and no signup.
