What is the difference between a source and widget?

SociableKIT allows you to create unlimited widgets on paid plans. This means you can embed as many widgets as you need on your website to display social media feeds, reviews, job listings, and other content.

However, while the number of widgets is unlimited, the number of sources connected to those widgets depends on your plan.

A source is the location where SociableKIT retrieves the content that will appear in your widget. Each source counts separately because our system connects directly to that platform or feed to fetch the data.

Examples of sources:

• Instagram profile for Company A = 1 source
• Twitter profile for Company A = 1 source
• LinkedIn page posts for Company A = 1 source
• LinkedIn page jobs for Company A = 1 source
• Google Business posts for Company A = 1 source
• Google reviews for Company A = 1 source

Because of this setup, you can create multiple widgets using the same source without using additional sources. However, if you want to display content from different accounts, platforms, or feed types, each one will count as a new source.

How sources and unlimited widgets work together:

• You can create unlimited widgets on your website.
• Widgets can reuse the same source multiple times.
• Each new account, platform, or widget type counts as an additional source.
• If you need more sources, you can avail of our Sources Add-on. For more details, you may refer to this article: How to add more sources?

This system gives you the flexibility to build as many widgets as your website needs while managing how many data sources are connected to your account.
