Ayrshare’s cheapest paid plan is **$149/month for one social profile**. If you are building scheduling into a product and the per-profile bill is what stopped you, this is the swap.\n\n## Price, side by side\n\n| Plan | Price | What you connect |\n|---|---|---|\n| Ayrshare Premium | $149/mo | 1 social profile |\n| Ayrshare Launch | $299/mo | Up to 10 profiles |\n| Ayrshare Business | $599/mo | 30 profiles |\nSchedPilot Silver |\n$21/mo |\n5 accounts, 450 posts |\nSchedPilot Gold |\n$35/mo |\n20 accounts, unlimited posts |\nSchedPilot Enterprise |\n$79/mo |\n100 accounts, 20 workspaces, 10 seats |\n\nAyrshare prices are their published monthly rates. SchedPilot prices are annual billing; monthly is $29 / $39 / $99.\n\n## One POST schedules the post\n\n```\ncurl -X POST https://api.schedpilot.com/developers/v1/post \\\n  -H \"X-API-KEY: $SCHEDPILOT_KEY\" \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\n    \"content\": \"Shipping today.\",\n    \"date\": \"2026-08-04\",\n    \"time\": \"09:30\",\n    \"accounts\": [{\"id\": 1234, \"type\": \"twitter\"}]\n  }'\n```\n\nCall `GET /developers/v1/accounts`\n\nfirst for your account IDs and types. Full reference at [docs.schedpilot.com](https://docs.schedpilot.com/docs/).\n\n## Your AI agent gets the same access\n\nInstall the [ schedpilot-mcp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/schedpilot-mcp) package, set\n\n`SCHEDPILOT_TOKEN`\n\n, and any MCP-compatible agent — Claude, Cursor, your own — gets six tools: `get_accounts`\n\n, `create_post`\n\n, `list_posts`\n\n, `delete_post`\n\n, `upload_media`\n\n, and post analytics. No wrapper code.## What you should know before switching\n\nSchedPilot publishes to X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and Threads. Ayrshare covers 13+ networks — **if you need TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, or Reddit through one API today, Ayrshare is the better fit** and we would rather tell you now.\n\nRate limits are 60 read and 30 write requests per hour, per user. That is 720 scheduled posts a day — enough for most products, worth checking against your volume if you are bulk-importing.\n\n## Who this is for\n\nFounders and developers who want a publishing API without a $149/month floor, agencies billing per client who need 20+ accounts on one plan, and anyone wiring an AI agent to social accounts. SchedPilot is used by 200+ creators and marketers.\n\n## Related posts\n\n[\n](https://schedpilot.com/buffer-api-alternative/)\n\n### Buffer API Alternative: A REST Endpoint, Not a GraphQL Rewrite\n\nJuly 28, 2026\n\n[\n](https://schedpilot.com/hootsuite-api-alternative/)\n\n### Hootsuite API Alternative: Publish Today, No App Review\n\nJuly 28, 2026\n\n[\n](https://schedpilot.com/instagram-vanish-mode/)\n\n### What Is Vanish Mode on Instagram?
