SchedPilot
Ayrshare Alternative: The Same Social API From $21/Month
Get your API key → 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.

Your AI agent gets the same access
Install the 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, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky, and Pinterest — nine networks. Ayrshare covers 13+, so if you need Reddit, Mastodon or Google Business Profile 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 210+ creators and entrepreneurs.
