$99 Social vs 98 Dollar Social: A dollar cheaper — with generic stock, not custom posts.

98 Dollar Social undercuts us by a dollar, but the Express plan's content is built on generic stock imagery — a logo overlay isn't even included. You also get a single channel and a 30-day cancellation notice instead of true month-to-month.

98 Dollar Social appears to have ceased operating. We've kept this comparison for reference, since people still search for it.
98 Dollar Social review

What is 98 Dollar Social?

98 Dollar Social pitches a fast, hands-off service at $98/month, but the model favors volume over fit: content is built on generic stock images — a logo overlay isn't even included — and the single-click monthly approval leaves little room for collaboration or adjustments.

The Express plan covers a single channel, offers no revisions, and requires 30 days' notice to cancel. $99 Social delivers custom, branded posts you can revise freely, across any channel you add, month-to-month.

The difference

How $99 Social is better than 98 Dollar Social.

01
Top-quality talent

02
Planned a month ahead

Your whole month of content is briefed, designed and laid out in advance for your approval — so you can see the full plan before anything publishes, instead of reacting week to week.

03
Flexibility & scale

Add channels and scale posts up or down anytime, thanks to a subscription model and a modular team structure built to adapt to your needs.

04
Cost-efficiency

We use technology to streamline operations and a no-waste model — then pass the savings on to you, keeping the price at $99 since 2012.

Where 98 Dollar Social falls short
  • Generic stock, not customPosts use stock photos with no brand personalization — even a logo overlay is excluded.
  • One channel onlyThe Express plan covers a single platform; we let you add any channel.
  • 30-day cancellation noticeLeaving requires a month's notice rather than cancelling anytime.
Where $99 Social wins
  • Real humans, never an AI millEvery caption is written and every graphic designed by a person on your team. AI only helps us research and brainstorm — it never writes your posts.
  • A whole team, not one generalistA dedicated account manager, a writer, and a designer matched to your industry — the crew an agency assigns to a $3,000/mo retainer, at a fraction of the price.
  • Nothing posts without your approvalReview and approval is built into every post at no extra charge. We never publish content you haven't signed off on.
  • Month-to-month, same $99 since 2012No setup fees, no contracts, cancel anytime — plus a written 14-day money-back guarantee on management plans.
Honest fit

Who is 98 Dollar Social actually right for?

In practice, no one right now: 98 Dollar Social appears to have ceased operating, and you can't sign up for a service that isn't taking customers. We keep this page up because people still search for the name — often while actually looking for 98 Buck Social (now Engage365) or for us, $99 Social.

Even when it was active, the Express plan was a volume play: generic stock imagery without so much as a logo overlay, one channel, no revisions, and 30 days' notice to leave. If a rock-bottom done-for-you price is what drew you to it, $99 Social is the closest live equivalent that's actually custom — branded posts, free revisions, any channel, month-to-month.

Making the move

What switching from 98 Dollar Social looks like.

If you were a 98 Dollar Social customer, there's likely nothing to cancel — but your feeds shouldn't sit dark while you shop for a replacement. Moving to $99 Social starts with a short brief from our client dashboard; from there we build your posting workspace, you connect your pages, and your first full month of custom content is laid out for your approval.

The upgrade is material, not just a dollar: instead of unbranded stock photos pushed to a single channel, you get posts written and designed for your business across every channel you add, with a review step before anything publishes and a written 14-day money-back guarantee.

Questions

$99 Social vs 98 Dollar Social: quick answers.

It appears to have ceased operating. Its plans are no longer available, so most comparisons you'll find online describe a service you can't actually buy.
No. The names are one dollar apart, but they're unrelated companies. $99 Social has operated continuously since 2012 and is very much in business.
Also no — that's a third, separate company. 98 Buck Social rebranded as Engage365 and moved upmarket to $599/mo plans; 98 Dollar Social appears to have shut down.

"I've been using $99 Social to manage social media for my law practice and my non-profit, and I can't recommend them enough. I get regular, professionally written posts that keep both accounts active and engaging — without me carving out hours every week. Five stars, and worth every penny."
