My Recommendation for Social Snap –

As I said before starting the Social Snap review that it’s more than just a social sharing or social following plugin.

I will continue to stick with it until now! As I really enjoyed the user experience both from the front-end and back-end.

It beautifully crafted its basic features like button customization, placement options, responsive controls for different devices.

On the other hand, it also worked well on advanced features like advanced analytics and statistics, click tracking without API, add-ons like social auto poster, boost old posts and social login.

In the end, it’s up to you what suits your requirement and budget well.

I will recommend you to Try SocialSnap Pro version as they offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.

You can get your money back just in case Social Snap won’t meet your expectations.
