# Ayrshare Alternative: The Same Social API From $21/Month

[ Get your API key →](https://app.schedpilot.com/api-access) 7-day free trial, no charge during trial.

SchedPilot is a social media publishing API with an MCP server included, and **API access is on every plan starting at $21/month**. 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.

## Price, side by side

| Plan | Price | What you connect |
|---|---|---|
| Ayrshare Premium | $149/mo | 1 social profile |
| Ayrshare Launch | $299/mo | Up to 10 profiles |
| Ayrshare Business | $599/mo | 30 profiles |
SchedPilot Silver |
$21/mo |
5 accounts, 450 posts |
SchedPilot Gold |
$35/mo |
20 accounts, unlimited posts |
SchedPilot Enterprise |
$79/mo |
100 accounts, 20 workspaces, 10 seats |

Ayrshare prices are their published monthly rates. SchedPilot prices are annual billing; monthly is $29 / $39 / $99.

## One POST schedules the post

```
curl -X POST https://api.schedpilot.com/developers/v1/post \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $SCHEDPILOT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "content": "Shipping today.",
    "date": "2026-08-04",
    "time": "09:30",
    "accounts": [{"id": 1234, "type": "twitter"}]
  }'
```

Call `GET /developers/v1/accounts`

first for your account IDs and types. Full reference at [docs.schedpilot.com](https://docs.schedpilot.com/docs/).

## Your AI agent gets the same access

Install the [ schedpilot-mcp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/schedpilot-mcp) package, set

`SCHEDPILOT_TOKEN`

, and any MCP-compatible agent — Claude, Cursor, your own — gets six tools: `get_accounts`

, `create_post`

, `list_posts`

, `delete_post`

, `upload_media`

, and post analytics. No wrapper code.## What you should know before switching

SchedPilot 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.

Rate 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.

## Who this is for

Founders 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.
