Postproxy vs Ayrshare
Both are publishing APIs for developers. Postproxy costs a fraction at scale, gives you real per-client data isolation, and includes a permanent free tier.
TL;DR
A quick take in two columns, then the detailed comparison below.
Both APIs abstract social platforms behind a single REST endpoint. The difference is pricing and architecture. Ayrshare charges per profile starting at $149/mo — a 10-client agency pays $299/mo, a 500-account SaaS pays ~$2,624/mo. Postproxy uses posts + profile groups: $49/mo for 50 groups with unlimited posts. No per-profile scaling.
Postproxy enforces per-client data isolation with scoped API keys. Ayrshare routes everything through a master key with Profile Keys in headers. Postproxy adds a queue system with timeslots, jitter, and priority, plus a state machine with per-platform failure states and retry logic. Ayrshare covers 13 platforms to Postproxy's 8 (expanding) and has no free tier — only a 14-day trial.
Side by side
A full breakdown of capabilities, integrations, and API design.
| Ayrshare | Postproxy | |
|---|---|---|
| Platforms | 13 | 8 (more in progress) |
| Free tier | No (14-day trial on Launch) | Yes — 10 posts/mo, all formats, permanent |
| Cheapest paid plan | $149/mo (1 profile) | $17/mo (10 profile groups) |
| Pricing model | Per profile | Posts + profile groups |
| Multi-tenant | Profile Keys (master + per-user key) | Scoped API keys (per-client isolation) |
| SDKs | 7 | 7 |
| Queue system | Scheduling only | Slots, jitter, priority |
| Publish lifecycle | Per-platform status | State machine (draft → pending → published → failed → retry) |
| n8n | HTTP request node | Native node |
| MCP server | Yes | Yes |
| Zapier | Yes | Yes |
| Make.com | Yes | Coming soon |
| Post limits | Max Pack add-on ($300/mo) for full limits | Unlimited on Scale ($49/mo) |

Pricing at scale
Ayrshare prices per profile. The difference compounds as you add clients.
| Scenario | Ayrshare | Postproxy | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small agency, 10 clients | $299/mo | $49/mo | 84% |
| SaaS, 50 clients | ~$599/mo | $49/mo | 92% |
| Agency, 100 clients | ~$1,228/mo | $399/mo | 68% |
| Platform, 500 clients | ~$2,624/mo | $399/mo | 85% |
Ayrshare also charges $300/mo for a "Max Pack" add-on to unlock maximum posting limits. Postproxy Scale ($49/mo) includes unlimited posts with no add-ons.
Where Postproxy wins
APIs, SDKs, tenant isolation, and predictable behavior—without running publishing infrastructure yourself.
5–10x cheaper at scale
10 clients: $49/mo vs $299/mo. 500 clients: $399/mo vs ~$2,624/mo.
Scoped API keys
Per-client data isolation at the API level. Not header routing through a master key.
Queue system
Recurring slots with jitter and priority levels. Ayrshare has scheduling but no queue concept.
No hidden caps
Scale plan = unlimited posts. No $300/mo add-on to unlock full limits.
Native n8n node
First-class integration. Ayrshare requires the generic HTTP request node.
Permanent free tier
All formats, no branding, no expiry. Ayrshare has no free plan — only a 14-day trial.
