Ayrshare is an established social publishing API with a mature engagement surface — comments, DMs, and mentions handled through the API, not just posting. PostProxy is a newer, cheaper entrant billed around a profile-group unit, built specifically for agencies and SaaS products reselling social publishing to their own customers. Neither is us — this is a factual, sourced comparison of the two of them, so you can judge which actually fits your team.
Every figure below is sourced from ayrshare.com and postproxy.dev as of this writing and may change — verify current details on their sites before deciding.
| Dimension | Ayrshare | PostProxy |
|---|---|---|
| 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 (10 posts/mo, no card required). Agentic at $17/mo (5 connected profiles, unlimited posts, +$4/profile for 6–10 down to $1/profile at 101+). Business at $49/mo (20 profile groups, unlimited posts). Enterprise at $699/mo (500 profile groups, SSO/SAML). |
| 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 11 platforms: Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, YouTube, Pinterest, Bluesky, Telegram, and Google Business, through one unified request payload. |
| Multi-tenant / agency billing | Priced per social profile — 1 profile on Premium up to 30 on Business. Managing many clients means paying for profile count directly, with no separate profile-group concept. | Billed around a profile-group unit — one brand or client, up to 11 connected platforms — with per-group pricing on Business ($49/mo for 20 groups) and Enterprise ($699/mo for 500 groups), explicitly positioned for SaaS products and agencies managing customer profiles. |
| White-label & branded connection flow | A branded OAuth linking page with your logo and domain starting on the Launch plan ($299/mo); full custom CSS, favicon, and footer are gated behind the separate Max Pack add-on. | Multi-tenant profile groups aimed at agency and SaaS use cases; public pricing pages don't detail a verified custom domain or branded-page configuration at the level Ayrshare's Max Pack does. |
| 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. | Tracks post delivery through explicit lifecycle states (including failed and failed_waiting_for_retry) and fires per-platform webhooks as each target resolves. Public docs center on publish status, not a comments/DMs/mentions inbox. |
| SDKs | Official SDKs for Node, Python, Go, and a CLI. | Built-in MCP support plus native n8n and Zapier integrations on paid plans; no officially published multi-language SDK set at the level Ayrshare's four options offer. |
| MCP / AI-agent support | A native MCP server exposing roughly 27 tools covering publishing, analytics, history, comments, DMs, and profiles. | Built-in MCP support for Claude and other agent clients, alongside n8n and Zapier workflow integrations, on its paid plans. |
You need a real social-inbox API — comments, DMs, and mentions as first-class objects with webhooks and an audit trail — and you're managing a single brand's profiles rather than billing many clients separately. You're comfortable with a higher base price ($149+/mo) in exchange for a broader platform list (14+, including Snapchat, Reddit, and WhatsApp beta) and four official SDK languages.
Cost and multi-tenancy are the real constraints. You want to start free or at $17/mo, and you want agency/SaaS billing built around a profile-group unit instead of raw profile count. You don't need a comments/DMs/mentions inbox — just reliable publishing with explicit delivery-lifecycle states — and you're already leaning on n8n, Zapier, or MCP-based agents for the rest of your workflow.
If neither Ayrshare's pricier engagement-first model nor PostProxy's per-profile-group billing quite matches what you need, PostGate takes a third approach: a free sandbox plan with no card required, paid plans starting at $4.00/mo, white-label environments with a verified custom domain and bring-your-own Meta/TikTok/LinkedIn app credentials per organization, signed webhooks with per-target delivery evidence, SDKs generated in six languages, and a draft-first hosted MCP server.
Read the detailed, sourced breakdowns: PostGate vs Ayrshare and PostGate vs PostProxy.
Bring your own Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn app credentials per organization — quotas and approval status stay isolated to your app instead of a shared one. Read the environments guide.
Paid plans don't cap posts per month — you scale by connected profiles instead. See plan limits.
The hosted MCP server's create_post tool saves a draft unless the call explicitly sets confirm: true. Read the SDKs & MCP guide.
