Reviews
what people actually sayRevive Social is a social media auto-posting plugin with a loyal base of Pro users who praise its support team, but free-tier users and small-site owners are consistently frustrated by heavily restricted functionality, upsell banners that break core WordPress features, and unreliable scheduled-post sharing.
What people like
- +Pro plan support is praised as responsive and helpful, with specific staff members named positively×3
- +Works well for Facebook sharing on the Pro plan
Common complaints
- −Scheduled posts frequently fail to auto-share to social media without a manual save/update trigger×2
- −Free version is heavily restricted — meaningful functionality (beyond basic Twitter) requires a paid Pro upgrade×2
- −Promotional/upsell banners in the admin area break core WordPress UI, such as hiding post submission confirmation messages, with no way to dismiss them on the free plan
- −Twitter/X integration is unreliable and error-prone, with missing media field errors reported×2
- −Pro version is expensive and requires annual renewal
- −No Instagram support noted in the free tier
- −Long-term users report persistent frustration and unresolved issues over multiple years
