In their own words
EmbedSocial
EmbedSocial gathers reviews, social posts, photos, and videos and turns them into website content such as feeds, review sliders, and shoppable galleries. It imports from Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Google Reviews, and Trustpilot through official API connections with real-time syncing. More than 200 widget and section templates are available. Product tags and Buy Now links let businesses link displayed content to products; rights tools handle creator permission requests and compliance. Other tools include an AI editor, scoring, moderation, tagging, and translation, plus reports on views, clicks, engagement, and conversions. Integrations include website builders, ecommerce services, Zapier, Intercom, and Slack. EmbedSocial states it is ISO 27001:2022 certified and GDPR compliant. It offers real-time chat support. The free plan is free and allows unlimited widgets, but limits users to one source, 500 views per month, and 500 media items per source. Pro is €29 a month, and a 7-day trial is listed.
Flow-Flow Social Streams
Flow-Flow Social Streams combines posts from multiple sources into social media walls for WordPress sites or blogs. Its listed feed sources include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WordPress, Pinterest, SoundCloud, Tumblr, Foursquare, Dribbble, YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, and RSS. Users can change colors, card width, margins, templates, and other design elements. Visitors can share items, filter by network, search live, view posts in a lightbox, and load more items. The WordPress plugin supports responsive layouts and swipe motion for mobile sliding. Feed data and image caching are described as server-side features. Posts can be excluded by word, username, or URL; pre-moderation is listed for Pro. The free WordPress version costs nothing and includes four sources and a masonry layout, with stream capacity dependent on the server. The WordPress Pro version costs $49, paid once and includes 14 sources and several layouts. The plugin requires PHP 7.x or above and specified server components; some network APIs require server SSL.
