Ayrshare Social Media API
Ayrshare gives developers one API to post, schedule and pull analytics across 14 social networks. If you mainly need to publish and schedule, Social Media Scheduler gives you a posting API, an MCP server and a dashboard on every plan — try it free, from $19.90 a month instead of $149.
Key Features of Ayrshare Social Media API
One posting API
A single POST /post call publishes or schedules text, images, video, Reels and Stories to every linked network at once.
14 networks
Bluesky, Facebook, Google Business Profile, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Snapchat, Telegram, Threads, TikTok, WhatsApp, X and YouTube.
User profiles
On the Launch plan and above, each of your customers gets a profile, and you post on their behalf through the same API.
Hosted linking page
Generate a short-lived link where your users connect their own social accounts; an embedded Connect widget needs the Max Pack add-on.
Analytics and history
Post and account metrics, plus 200 to 500 past posts per profile, including posts made outside Ayrshare.
Comments and messaging
Read and reply to comments, and send DMs on Facebook, Instagram and X, with WhatsApp in beta.
Webhooks, SDKs and GraphQL
Webhooks for post status, official Node.js and Python SDKs, code samples in other languages and a GraphQL endpoint.
MCP server for AI agents
An MCP server with 27 tools so Claude Code, Cursor, LangChain or n8n can post through Ayrshare.
Max Pack add-on
For $300 a month: AI post writing, a link shortener, image resizing, alt text, translation and a branded linking page.
What Is Ayrshare? Product Positioning and Background
Ayrshare was founded in 2020 by Geoff Bourne and Boris Markovich, two engineers who had built Facebook, Instagram, X and LinkedIn integrations again and again and wanted one API to do it for them. In October 2025 it joined saas.group, a portfolio of independently run software companies.
Ayrshare calls itself infrastructure for your product: it does not try to be a scheduling dashboard for marketers. You call it from your own app, an AI tool or an automation, and it handles each network’s API, tokens and rules. Ayrshare says more than 10,000 teams use it, and Quso.ai, an AI video tool with millions of users, is a named customer.
The price reflects that audience. Plans are counted in profiles — one brand or end user with its networks linked — and start at $149 a month for a single profile.
Ayrshare Pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Billed yearly | Profiles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | $149 | $129 / month | 1 |
| Launch | $299 | $249 / month | Up to 10 |
| Business | $599 | $499 / month | 30, then $8.99 down to $2.49 each |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | From 300 |
From ayrshare.com/pricing, checked October 2026. Max Pack is $300 a month extra. Since March 31, 2026, posting to X requires your own X developer app, billed by X.
Who Uses Ayrshare?
SaaS and AI content tools
Products that let their own users publish what they create, such as AI video and image apps.

Teams that give each client or location its own profile and post to all of them from internal tools.
Developers and automation builders
People wiring posting into n8n, Make, Bubble or Airtable, or giving an AI agent the ability to post.
Ayrshare Review: What Users Actually Say
Independent reviews of Ayrshare are few — a handful each on G2, Capterra, Trustpilot and SourceForge in October 2026. Users praise its reliability and technical support; the complaints are about price and how account problems are handled.
What users like
- Posting is reliable, which is the main thing an API is bought for.
- Support staff are technical and answer quickly.
- It removes the work of keeping direct network integrations alive.
- Covers networks cheaper rivals often skip, such as Reddit and Snapchat.
- Straightforward to call once your account is set up.
What users complain about
- Expensive: $149 for one profile, and $299 before your users can link accounts.
- Common extras like a link shortener sit in the $300 Max Pack.
- X now needs your own developer app and a separate X bill.
- No built-in @mention lookup, so you store user IDs yourself.
- One reviewer reports a ban and a much higher price to reactivate.
How Social Media Scheduler Addresses Ayrshare’s Gaps
$19.90 instead of $149
Solo is $19.90 a month for one account set with unlimited posts, and it includes a REST API and an MCP server as well as the dashboard. A single Ayrshare profile costs $149.
Each set is a profile
A set is one brand with one account on each of 10 networks — the same idea as an Ayrshare profile — and API calls take a set_id to choose which one posts. Five sets cost $39 and fifteen $99 a month; 15 profiles on Ayrshare means the $599 Business plan.
A connect link on every plan
The API returns a 48-hour link where a client signs in to each network on its own page, so their tokens never pass through your code. Ayrshare’s linking for your users starts on the $299 Launch plan.
No X developer app to set up
X goes through the same connection as every other network, so you do not register an X developer app or manage a second bill to post to X.
A dashboard on top of the API
Ayrshare has no dashboard of its own. Here the posts your code schedules show up in a composer and calendar, so teammates who do not write code can check them or add their own.

Why Teams Move from Ayrshare to Social Media Scheduler
- 1
Create a set for each brand
Add a set per client or brand. Connect its accounts yourself, or get a connect link from the API and send it to the client to sign in to each network.
- 2
Point your code at the API
Create an API key under Agents & API keys and send posts to /api/v1/posts with the caption, networks, set_id and an optional time. AI agents can sign in to the MCP server with OAuth instead.
- 3
Check the results per account
Fetch the post to see each network’s status and public link, or open it in the dashboard, so you can see what went out without reading logs.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Ayrshare?

Does Social Media Scheduler have a posting API like Ayrshare?
Yes. Every plan, the 7-day trial included, has a REST API and an MCP server: list connected accounts per set, publish or schedule to 10 networks, upload media, check each network’s result, and change or cancel scheduled posts, at up to 120 requests a minute per key. Analytics, comments and DMs are not part of it.
A Posting API Without the $149 Entry Fee
Post from the dashboard, the REST API or an AI agent over MCP — every plan includes all three. Solo is $19.90 a month for one account set (one account on each of 10 networks), Growth $39 for 5 sets and Agency $99 for 15 sets.
