AddThis is dead — what now?
Oracle shut down AddThis in May 2023. If you're still seeing AddThis buttons on sites, they're broken or running on cached code. Millions of websites need a replacement.
Most people searching for an AddThis alternative land on ShareThis or AddToAny — but both have significant privacy and performance issues. There's a better option.
Why not just use ShareThis or AddToAny?
ShareThis sets third-party cookies, sells audience data, and bundles 180KB+ of JavaScript. It's the old web model — your visitors pay for "free" with their data.
AddToAny is lighter but still runs third-party requests and has limited analytics.
TossIt.link — the AddThis replacement built for 2025
TossIt.link was designed from scratch for a privacy-first internet. No cookies, no tracking, no data selling. Just beautiful share buttons that work.

Migrate from AddThis to TossIt.link
The HTML structure is nearly identical to AddThis, so migration is straightforward:
- Sign up free at tossit.link/register
- Use the ShareThis/AddThis migration wizard to import your settings
- Swap the script tag
The verdict
AddThis is gone. TossIt.link is its natural successor for publishers who care about privacy. Free plan covers one property — enough for most blogs and small sites.
