Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 0 of the 49 other social media schedulers we grade
Ayrshare is a developer-facing API that lets a product publish, schedule and moderate posts on 14 or more social networks through one integration. It is billed by social profile, meaning a customer or brand that may connect several networks, rather than by seat. A hosted MCP server and an AI agent product extend it to AI tools.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Ayrshare, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Anyone who just wants to schedule posts should look elsewhere.
- 1
Best for adding social posting to your own product
Ayrshare is an API that posts to many social networks, aimed at developers building scheduling into their own apps.
- 2
Paid plans start at $129 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $129 per month for 1 profile, billed annually ($149 billed monthly).
- 3
You can try it first
28-day free trial of the Launch plan; other plans are billed at signup
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Publishing API
One call posts and schedules to 14 or more networks, including LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, Pinterest, Bluesky, YouTube and Reddit.
- 6
Multi-tenant profiles
White-label user profiles let a SaaS product or agency connect each customer's accounts. Billing stops when a profile is deleted through the API.
- 7
Analytics and history APIs
Cross-network metrics and access to users' past posts come through separate APIs. Advanced analytics start on the Launch plan.
- 8
A 1.6 GPA, above 0 of 49
That is against the other social media schedulers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Ayrshare you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for adding social posting to your own product
Ayrshare is an API that posts to many social networks, aimed at developers building scheduling into their own apps. It costs $129 a month on annual billing for a single profile, and there's no end-user app to fall back on. Anyone who just wants to schedule posts should look elsewhere.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $129 a month on annual billing ($149 monthly) for 1 profile, which is where the category's dearest tenth starts. Launch is $249 for 10 profiles. |
| Free plan and trial | D | 28-day free trial of Launch; the listing doesn't say whether a card is needed. No free plan. |
| Features | C | Posting, analytics, comments and webhooks through the API, with multi-tenant profiles. Premium is single-user and limited to basic analytics. |
| Ease of use | D | It's an API, so you need to write code. No store rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web and API, with LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, Pinterest, YouTube and WhatsApp covered. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Ayrshare is for
- Fits if you are building a product that needs to post to social networks
- Makes sense if you run an agency with your own client dashboard
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want an app with a calendar to click around in
- Pricey if you only manage one brand: $129 a month annually for 1 profile
- Tight if you pick Premium: single user, basic analytics only; unlimited team members start on Launch
- Watch out: beyond 30 profiles pricing is tiered and the page doesn't list the tier prices
- Watch out: the Max Pack AI upgrade is a paid add-on on Launch and Business
Good to know
Good for
- SaaS platforms that embed social posting as a feature
- Agencies building their own client dashboards

Worth knowing
- It is an API to build on; there is no end-user scheduling app to rely on instead.
- Premium is a single-user plan; unlimited team members start on Launch.
- Beyond 30 profiles on Business, pricing is tiered and the page does not list the tier prices.
- The Max Pack AI upgrade is a paid add-on on Launch and Business.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Ayrshare you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 48 of the 49 other social media schedulers grade higher. It costs $1,548 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- It plugs into other products, LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Ayrshare’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
