Ayrshare is a social media API for publishing: one integration that posts, schedules and reports across fourteen networks, with the OAuth and token refresh handled for you.
It is on this page because it comes up in social-API searches constantly, and the most useful thing we can tell you is that it is not the same purchase as anything else here.
What it costs
| Plan | Price/month | Social profiles | Accounts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | $149 | 1 profile | up to 14, across 14 networks |
| Launch | $299 | up to 10 | up to 140 |
| Business | $599 | 30 included | up to 420 |
| Enterprise | custom | from 300 | thousands |
Launch includes a 28-day free trial. Business applies tiered pricing beyond the 31st profile, up to 300.
Add-ons, priced separately: Max Pack $300/month, Ads (Facebook Boosted) $100/month.
⚠️ There is no "per 1,000" for this, and we are not going to invent one
Seven of the fourteen pages in this family have a per-thousand column, because those seven competitors meter calls, credits or results. Ayrshare meters profiles.
A profile is a connected set of accounts for one entity — one brand, one client. The $149 tier is one profile with up to fourteen accounts attached. Calls are not the unit, so dividing $149 by anything produces a number with no meaning.
This matters because comparison pages — including the ones competitors write about us — routinely normalise everything to cost-per-thousand and publish a league table. When one of the entries prices a different thing, that table is tidier than the truth.
The denominator that is real is cost per profile, and it is the comparison an agency actually makes: $149 ÷ 1 = $149; $299 ÷ 10 = $29.90; $599 ÷ 30 = $19.97. That is a volume discount of 7.5× between Premium and Business, and it is our arithmetic on their figures.
The bigger difference: it writes, we read
Ayrshare's core job is posting. Ours is reading.
We have no publishing endpoint, no scheduler, no token vault for write access, and no plan to grow any of them. If your product needs to publish to fourteen networks, we are not a candidate and Ayrshare is a strong one.
Conversely, Ayrshare is not where you go to ask what gained traction in this niche over the last week — that needs an archive captured hour by hour, which is a different business from holding write tokens.
Who it's for
A tool with clients. If you are building a social-media-management product, an agency dashboard, or anything where each customer connects their own accounts, profile-based pricing matches your revenue shape and per-call pricing does not.
It is the wrong shape for a single-tenant analytics product: you would be paying $149/month for one profile to read data that a per-call API serves for a fraction of that.
Where it is better than us
Publishing, entirely. Fourteen networks, scheduled, with OAuth handled. We do none of it.
Fourteen networks for write access, including several we do not read.
Token management. Holding refreshable OAuth tokens for other people's accounts is a security and compliance burden we deliberately do not take on — our API reads public pages and holds no customer credentials.
The legal part
Publishing on someone's behalf puts you inside the platforms' official APIs and their terms, which is a more settled legal position than public-page reading — they are an authorised client, not a scraper.
Our position is the other one, and we publish it: public versus personal data and a removal route.
Who measured this
We did, and we barely compete — for publishing we are not an alternative at all. We wrote this page so that someone searching "social media API" and landing in our comparisons gets told plainly that these are two different products, rather than being sold a false equivalence with a tidy table.
What we run is an hourly archive of what's rising. What we sell is read access with one response shape.
Plan prices, profile counts, account limits, the 28-day Launch trial and both add-on prices read from ayrshare.com/pricing on 2 October 2026 — primary source, read directly from the page. No per-1,000 figure is published here because profiles, not calls, are the billed unit; the per-profile figures are our arithmetic on those plan prices. Verify before deciding.
