Expanded social sharing tools for WordPress
GetSocial TOOLS is the paid version of the GetSocial social sharing and analytics plugin. It is intended for websites that want to encourage visitors to share content, follow social profiles, and interact with sharing tools across desktop and mobile experiences.
The TOOLS version includes the features available through GetSocial’s social toolset, together with additional options for mobile sharing, image sharing, button customization, and tracking activity that may not appear in standard social share reports. The service is designed for use without coding and includes dashboards with readable social analytics.
Sharing tools for different layouts
GetSocial supports horizontal and floating share and follow buttons for social networks including Facebook, X, WhatsApp, Email, and more. The toolset also includes native social buttons, reaction buttons, a Welcome Bar, and the Hello Buddy smart pop-up. Hello Buddy can be configured to ask visitors to share, subscribe, or visit a specific page. Its triggers include time spent on the site, percentage of the page scrolled, and exit intention.
The TOOLS version adds Mobile Share and Follow Buttons, including mobile-only options such as Telegram, Snapchat, Kik, and Viber. These mobile bars are designed for visitors using smaller screens and provide a dedicated way to present sharing actions on mobile devices.
Image sharing and customization
Image Share Buttons allow visitors to share images with their friends and followers. This is useful for websites where pictures are an important part of the content experience.
Paid customization options let you adjust the appearance of share buttons to match a website. Available controls include colors and gradients, as well as other visual settings for supported tools. The source lists customization for the horizontal shares and follow bar, floating shares and follow bar, Hello Buddy, the mobile share and follow bar, image sharing, and reaction buttons.
Tracking sharing activity
Copy & Paste Share Tracking is designed to show sharing activity that can happen through private channels. It can identify sharing through SMS, email, messaging applications such as WhatsApp, Messenger, and iMessage, as well as copied and pasted links. This provides additional information about how content is shared beyond visible social button interactions.
GetSocial also provides analytics dashboards for reviewing activity on the website. Paid TOOLS accounts have a stated limit of 50,000 visits per month. Websites exceeding that level are directed to contact support at support@getsocial.io.

The TOOLS version is offered as a monthly subscription for $9 per month. An annual subscription is stated as $6.90 per month. There are no contracts, and the source states that users can cancel at any time; access continues through the current monthly billing cycle.
