Ayrshare is an established social publishing API priced by how many profiles you connect, with a mature engagement surface — comments, DMs, and mentions handled through the API. bundle.social flips that axis: unlimited connected accounts on every paid plan, but a hard monthly post quota instead. Neither is us — this is a factual, sourced comparison of the two of them, so you can judge which limit actually matters for your workload.
Every figure below is sourced from ayrshare.com and bundle.social as of this writing and may change — verify current details on their sites before deciding.
| Dimension | Ayrshare | bundle.social |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing & free tier | No permanently free plan — a 28-day free trial. Paid plans list from $149/mo (Premium, 1 social profile) up to $599/mo (Business, 30 profiles), with custom Enterprise pricing above that. | Free plan at $0/mo (20 posts/mo, 3 connected accounts). Paid plans start at $100/mo (Pro, 10,000 posts/mo), then $400/mo (Business, 100,000 posts/mo), with custom Enterprise pricing above that. |
| Platform coverage | Publishes to 14+ platforms: Facebook, X, Bluesky, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Telegram, TikTok, Google Business Profile, Threads, Pinterest, Snapchat, YouTube, and WhatsApp (beta). | Publishes to 15 platforms: Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Discord, Slack, Mastodon, Threads, YouTube, Bluesky, Google Business Profile, and Snapchat. |
| What actually gets limited | Priced by number of connected social profiles — 1 on Premium, 30 on Business — rather than a monthly post-volume cap. | Unlimited connected accounts on every paid plan, but a hard monthly post quota instead: 10,000 posts/mo on Pro, 100,000/mo on Business. A post-volume-heavy, low-account workload can hit that ceiling before an account limit ever would. |
| Per-platform posting costs | No separate per-post or per-platform surcharge described beyond the plan price. | X (Twitter) posts draw down a separate balance on top of the plan price — $0.015 per post, or $0.20 for a post containing a link. |
| Engagement API (comments, DMs, mentions) | Real-time webhooks for posts, comments, mentions, and DMs, with a dashboard to replay events and audit requests — a genuine social-inbox surface, not just publishing. | Documents webhook delivery and per-platform parameters for tracking post outcomes; public docs emphasize post creation, scheduling, and analytics rather than a comments/DMs/mentions inbox. |
| SDKs | Official SDKs for Node, Python, Go, and a CLI. | An official, typed TypeScript SDK. Other languages are documented as integrating directly against the OpenAPI spec rather than through an official generated client. |
| MCP / AI-agent support | A native MCP server exposing roughly 27 tools covering publishing, analytics, history, comments, DMs, and profiles. | An official MCP server exposing post creation, scheduling, account listing, and analytics tools for MCP clients such as Claude and Cursor. |
You need a real social-inbox API — comments, DMs, and mentions as first-class objects with webhooks and an audit trail. You're managing a modest, fixed number of profiles rather than posting at very high volume, so profile-count pricing (from $149/mo) doesn't bind the way a post quota would.
Your workload is post-volume-heavy on a small number of brands — high-frequency scheduling or AI-generated content published continuously — and you'd rather not pay per connected account. Just watch the monthly post ceiling (10,000/mo on the $100 Pro plan) and the per-post X surcharge if you post there heavily.
If you don't want to choose between paying per profile and hitting a post quota, PostGate takes a third approach: a free sandbox plan with no card required, paid plans starting at $4.00/mo, and no monthly post cap on any paid plan — you scale by connected profiles instead, with no separate per-platform surcharge for any provider.

Solo, Launch, and Build all publish without a posts-per-month cap — only the free sandbox plan is capped. See plan limits.
Each post carries a per-target status array — pending, publishing, retry state, error, platform ID, permalink. Read the delivery guide.
The hosted MCP server's create_post tool saves a draft unless the call explicitly sets confirm: true. Read the SDKs & MCP guide.
