PostGate vs Ayrshare

An Ayrshare alternative built around white-label ownership

Ayrshare is a real, established social media API and a reasonable default for many teams. PostGate is built for a narrower job: platforms and agencies that need their own brand, their own custom domain, and — increasingly — their own Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn app credentials, not a shared one. Below is a factual, sourced comparison so you can judge which fits your stack.

Why teams switch

Why teams switch to PostGate

White-label environments

Create a test or live environment with a brand configuration — product name, logo, and primary color — for the customer-facing connection experience. Read the environments guide.

Bring your own provider apps

Store your own Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, and other platform app credentials per organization so your approval status and rate limits are yours alone. See the white-label plan.

Signed webhooks with delivery evidence

Subscribe to signed post.published, post.partial, and post.failed events, and inspect per-target delivery evidence instead of guessing why a post stalled. Read the webhooks guide.

SDKs in six languages, plus MCP

Build from generated clients in Node.js/TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, and .NET, or connect an AI agent to the hosted MCP server with draft-first publish safety. Read the SDKs & MCP guide.

Also worth knowing

Idempotent posts, so retries never duplicate

Idempotency keys

Pass a stable Idempotency-Key when creating a post and PostGate makes the logical request safe to retry for 72 hours — no accidental duplicate publishes from a retried request. Explore the docs.
