Ayrshare Pricing 2026: Plans, Free Tier Limits, and What Users Say

As of July 2026, Ayrshare publishes four tiers: Premium at $149/mo (1 social profile), Launch at $299/mo (up to 10 profiles), Business at $599/mo (30 profiles, then per-profile overage), and Enterprise at custom pricing from 300 profiles. There is no permanently free plan, only a 28-day trial with no credit card required. Source: Ayrshare Pricing, retrieved 28 July 2026.

Ayrshare pricing 2026 (official plans)

Ayrshare is a publishing-first social media API with per-profile billing. Every tier includes API access, posting, scheduling, analytics, and comment and DM moderation; the higher tiers raise the profile ceiling and unlock webhooks, historical content access, and expanded rate limits. The table below reproduces the plan structure exactly as published on 28 July 2026.

The definition of a billable unit matters more than the sticker price. Ayrshare's pricing page states it plainly: "One customer with Pinterest, Bluesky, YouTube, Reddit, X, TikTok (and more!) still counts as one profile." A profile is a customer, brand, or location; a social account is one network connection inside that profile. This is a customer-friendly definition, and it is worth stating clearly because several third-party comparison articles get it wrong.

Above the Business plan's 30 included profiles, Ayrshare publishes three overage bands. Monthly rates first, annual-billing rates in parentheses:

• Profiles 31 to 100: $8.99 per profile per month ($7.99 on annual billing).
• Profiles 101 to 500: $3.49 per profile per month ($2.99 on annual billing).
• Profiles above 500: $2.49 per profile per month ($1.99 on annual billing).
• Add-ons, priced separately: Max Pack at $300/mo and Ads (Facebook Boosted) at $100/mo.

What are Ayrshare's free plan limits in 2026?

There is no free Ayrshare plan in 2026. The old Basic plan, which allowed 20 posts per month, is closed: Ayrshare's own help centre states that "The Basic Plan, which included 20 posts per month, is no longer available to new sign-ups." New accounts get a 28-day free trial with no credit card required, after which the entry price is $149/mo.

• Trial length: 28 days, no credit card required.
• Trial scope: Launch-level access, which is enough to test multi-profile behaviour and webhooks before committing.
• After the trial: the cheapest paid entry point is Premium at $149/mo for a single profile.
• Legacy Basic accounts: existing 20-posts-per-month accounts continue, but the plan cannot be newly provisioned.

If a permanent free tier is a hard requirement, that is the clearest structural difference between Ayrshare and the alternatives. SocialAPI.ai's Hobby plan is free indefinitely (2 brands, 10 posts/month, 50 interactions/month) and includes inbox and MCP access; the full landscape is covered in free social media APIs in 2026.

What platforms does Ayrshare support in 2026?

Ayrshare supports 13 social networks in 2026, and all 13 are available on every paid tier. Because a profile can hold up to 13 accounts, a single-brand customer on Premium can connect every supported network without paying more. The list:

Coverage of Reddit, Pinterest, Snapchat, and Bluesky is genuinely Ayrshare's strongest argument, and it is the main reason to stay. Engagement depth is narrower than the platform count suggests: direct messaging is limited to Facebook, Instagram, and X, while comments and Google Business Profile reviews are broader. The full endpoint-level breakdown is on the SocialAPI.ai vs Ayrshare comparison.

How much is the Ayrshare Premium plan in 2026?

The Ayrshare Premium plan costs $149/mo and includes one social profile with up to 13 network connections on it. It is the cheapest way to get API access, and for a single brand posting everywhere it is competitively specified: unlimited posts, video support, scheduling, and basic analytics are all in the box.

The sharp edge is the second profile. Going from one customer to two means moving from Premium to Launch at $299/mo, a 2x jump for a single extra brand. That breakpoint is the single most common surprise for developers who prototype on Premium and then onboard their first external customer, and it is where most social media API pricing comparisons start to diverge.

What does Ayrshare cost as you scale?

For a SaaS product or an agency, the relevant number is not the plan price but the cost per customer at your target headcount. The table applies Ayrshare's published bands cumulatively to the Business base, which is how the tier table reads. Confirm your exact quote with Ayrshare before budgeting, since negotiated and Enterprise terms differ.

Three things catch teams out. First, the $8.99 band is both the widest and the most expensive: growing from 30 to 100 customers adds $629.30/mo before you sell a single extra seat. Second, the add-ons are not bundled, so a team that wants Max Pack and Facebook ad creation adds $400/mo on top. Third, per-customer cost falls slowly, so pricing your own product below roughly $15 per customer per month leaves very little margin.

That last point is the practical test. If you resell social publishing inside a SaaS product at $29 per customer per month, Ayrshare consumes about 31% of gross revenue at 100 customers. The same workload on a flat plan costs a fixed amount that shrinks as a share of revenue with every new customer, which is the whole argument in the cheapest social media API with a full inbox.

What do users say about Ayrshare on Reddit and G2?

Reddit discussion of Ayrshare is thin. Searches for Ayrshare on Reddit surface comparison blog posts and SDK pages rather than substantive threads, so anyone searching "ayrshare reddit" is mostly finding vendor marketing. The meaningful public feedback lives on G2 and Capterra, where Capterra shows a 5.0/5 average across a small review base.

What reviewers praise

• Documentation and integration speed. Reviewers repeatedly describe the API as straightforward to integrate with strong docs, which matches its developer-first positioning.
• Breadth from one call. Posting to many networks through a single endpoint is the most cited practical benefit.
• Responsive support and steady shipping. Support is described as fast and competent, with regular feature additions as networks change their APIs.

What reviewers complain about

• Price at scale. The most frequent complaint by a wide margin; one G2 reviewer criticised "restrictive plans with high prices".
• Manual @mention handling. Tagging users requires collecting and storing platform user IDs yourself; there is no username lookup.
• Permission scope. Some users report the connection flow requests broader access to social accounts than they would like.
• No visual inbox. The dashboard is a developer console, not an end-user interface, so any customer-facing UI is yours to build.

Ayrshare is unusually candid about the last point. Their own post, Why You Shouldn't Use Ayrshare, tells non-technical users and small manual-posting teams to look elsewhere. That transparency is worth crediting: it means the complaints above are mostly about fit and price, not about whether the product works.

Ayrshare vs SocialAPI.ai pricing in 2026

Both products bill per brand rather than per network connection, so the comparison is unusually clean: same unit, different price. SocialAPI.ai's tiers are Hobby ($0, 2 brands), Side Hustle ($29, 10 brands), Full Send ($109, 50 brands), and Empire ($349, 200 brands), each with unlimited posts and interactions on paid plans.

Price is only half the comparison. SocialAPI.ai includes a unified inbox (comments, DMs, reviews, mentions), webhooks, OAuth 2.1, and a native MCP server with 75+ executable tools on every plan, including the free one, on infrastructure running above 99.9% uptime. Ayrshare ships 13 networks against SocialAPI.ai's 8, gates webhooks to Launch and above, and offers a documentation-only MCP server. The feature-by-feature matrix is on the Ayrshare alternative page.

When is Ayrshare the right choice?

Ayrshare is a well-built API with a specific shape, and there are several cases where switching away would be a mistake. Choose or keep Ayrshare when:

• You publish to Reddit, Pinterest, Snapchat, or Bluesky. These are covered by Ayrshare and not by SocialAPI.ai, and no pricing argument beats a network you actually need.
• You run one brand across many networks. Premium at $149/mo carries up to 13 accounts on one profile, so the per-network cost is low for a single-brand publisher.
• You want a wide official SDK spread. Ayrshare publishes SDKs for Node, JavaScript, PHP, Python, C#, Go, Java, and Ruby.
• You need Facebook ad campaign creation through the same API, available via the $100/mo Ads add-on.
• You already hold a negotiated Enterprise contract. Custom volume pricing can change the comparison entirely; run a like-for-like quote before assuming the list prices apply to you.

Outside those cases, the decision is arithmetic rather than opinion. Agencies in particular should run their own client roster through both models; the agency-scale breakdown does that math across four alternatives at 10, 30, and 50 client brands.

Frequently asked questions

What are Ayrshare's free plan limits in 2026?

Ayrshare has no free plan in 2026. The legacy Basic plan, which allowed 20 posts per month, is no longer available to new sign-ups. New accounts instead receive a 28-day free trial with Launch-level access and no credit card required. After the trial, the cheapest paid plan is Premium at $149/mo for one social profile.

How much is the Ayrshare Premium plan in 2026?

Ayrshare Premium costs $149/mo and includes one social profile with up to 13 network connections, unlimited posts, video support, scheduling, and basic analytics. Adding a second profile requires moving up to the Launch plan at $299/mo. Prices verified on ayrshare.com/pricing on 28 July 2026.

What platforms does Ayrshare support in 2026?

Ayrshare supports 13 social networks: Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Bluesky, Reddit, Pinterest, Telegram, and Google Business Profile. All 13 are available on every paid tier, and a single profile can connect up to 13 accounts. Direct messaging support is narrower, covering Facebook, Instagram, and X only.

How much does Ayrshare cost for 100 social profiles?

Roughly $1,228.30/mo on list pricing: the Business plan's $599 base covers 30 profiles, and the next 70 are billed at $8.99 each ($629.30). At 200 profiles the total is about $1,577.30/mo, because profiles 101 to 500 drop to $3.49 each. Annual billing reduces the overage rates to $7.99 and $2.99 respectively.

Does Ayrshare charge per social network or per brand?

Per brand. Ayrshare bills per social profile, and a profile represents one customer, brand, or location. Their pricing page states that one customer connected to Pinterest, Bluesky, YouTube, Reddit, X, and TikTok still counts as a single profile. Third-party comparisons that multiply profiles by networks overstate Ayrshare's cost.

What is the cheapest Ayrshare alternative in 2026?

Among APIs that also include a unified inbox, SocialAPI.ai is the cheapest at every scale: $0/mo for 2 brands, $29/mo for 10, $109/mo for 50, and $349/mo for 200, compared with $149, $299, $778.80, and $1,577.30 on Ayrshare. Publishing-only APIs can be cheaper still, but they drop comments, DMs, and review management entirely.
