Dash Social (formerly Dash Hudson)
Checked 26 Oct 2026 · source · 7 networks · API not stated · AI yes
Visual-first consumer brands that want Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest planning with AI content-performance predictions and unlimited users priced per brand.
You need a published price or self-serve signup, or you publish to X: all plans are quoted after a demo and X is not in the supported network list.
Overview
Dash Social is the current name of Dash Hudson, and dashhudson.com redirects there. The homepage describes a platform that brings content, creators, community, campaigns and performance together. Features include Vision AI content predictions, generative AI for creative, social listening, creator management, competitive insights, a shoppable link in bio called LikeShop, bulk publishing, approvals and a scheduler.
Pricing is not published. There are three tiers, Engage, Advance and Enterprise, and each leads to a demo request. What the page does state is the structure: unlimited users, and one social set per brand, so the unit of cost is the brand, not the seat. Engage covers the planning and publishing calendar, community inbox and link in bio. Advance adds custom dashboards, Vision AI trends, competitive benchmarks and UGC tools. Enterprise adds regional reporting, access governance and SSO.
Networks are TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, YouTube and Threads. The homepage also names Snapchat, which is outside this directory's list. X is not supported. The pricing page offers 14 days of free access.
What it does well
- Unlimited users on every tier.
- Built around visual channels, with Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest in scope.
- Content performance prediction and competitive benchmarks are listed.
- Community inbox and approvals are part of the suite.
What to watch out for
- No prices are published and there is no self-serve signup.
- X is not supported.
- I found no public API on the pricing page.
- The cost scales per brand, so many brands may add up.

Dash Social shows no dollar figures, so I can't give a ladder. What the page does tell you is how the bill is built: it is per brand, with one social set per brand and unlimited users on every plan. That is the opposite of per-seat tools, and it favors a brand with a big team over an agency with many small clients. Engage, Advance and Enterprise differ in features (analytics, benchmarks, governance), and all quotes come after a demo.
