Ayrshare alternative and pricing

Ayrshare is a REST social media API for posting, analytics and comments across 14 networks: Bluesky, Facebook, Google Business, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Snapchat, Telegram, Threads, TikTok, WhatsApp, X and YouTube. Its docs also list a messaging API (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, X) and an ads API for Facebook. The pricing page lists an MCP server under its developer tools without saying which plans include it.

Read on ayrshare.com/pricing on 2026-11-01. The pricing FAQ says every plan includes unlimited API calls and unlimited posts.

Requests go to https://api.ayrshare.com with Authorization: Bearer API_KEY. POST /api/post takes post (the text), platforms (an array of network names such as bluesky, linkedin, twitter, or all), optional mediaUrls (HTTPS only; video requires a paid plan) and scheduleDate in UTC. To post for one of your users, add a Profile-Key header with that user's profile key. Billing follows the peak number of active profiles in a cycle, and deleting a profile through the API stops billing for it.

Ayrshare has 14 networks working today, a messaging API, Facebook boosted ads, comment moderation, analytics and enterprise contracts. We have five networks live (X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Mastodon, Telegram), no video, and no analytics, inbox or ads. If you need Instagram, TikTok or YouTube now, or a vendor with a long track record and an account manager, Ayrshare fits.

Its profile unit can also be cheaper per brand at scale when a brand posts to many networks: one Business profile above 100 costs $3.49 and covers every network that brand uses.

An Ayrshare profile is one brand or user with up to one account per network. Our unit is one account. A brand on X, Bluesky and LinkedIn is 1 Ayrshare profile or 3 of our accounts. For one brand that's $149 on Ayrshare and $0 on our Free plan (100 posts a month) or $9 on Hobby for unlimited posts. At 10 brands, $299 against $34. The table above runs the same math to 100 brands.

Our numbers apply to accounts that published that month, so a brand that skips a month costs nothing. Every plan includes the MCP server and the same API. Details on pricing; for what LinkedIn allows through its API, see the LinkedIn API guide.

The entry price and network list decide most cases. If per-account billing with messaging and ads appeals, see Zernio.

• You need Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat or WhatsApp today: Ayrshare.
• You need messaging, boosted ads, an account manager or compliance terms: Ayrshare.
• You're building or testing with one to a few brands and want to start at $0: us. One brand on three networks fits the Free plan; ten brands on three networks is $34 a month.
• Your brands post irregularly: us, since a brand with no posts that month costs nothing.

A Profile-Key maps to external_ref: create a connect link per brand or user with external_ref set to your id, and every account it creates carries that tag. The platforms array of network names becomes accounts, an array of specific account ids (list them with GET /v1/accounts?external_ref=...). post becomes text, mediaUrls becomes media with an optional alt, and scheduleDate becomes scheduled_at. The Authorization: Bearer header stays the same shape with our sk_ key. Users reconnect through our hosted connect link. See the docs.
