Social FanoutversusA Ayrshare

Two developer APIs.
The difference is deployment terms, not the look.

Ayrshare and Social Fanout both offer REST publishing and MCP tools. Ayrshare combines publishing, analytics and engagement in a hosted service. Social Fanout offers a focused publishing API, a free tier, and self-hosting or hosted white-label through written agreements.

The short version
A Choose Ayrshare if…
  • You want a publishing API with official SDKs
  • You need 14+ supported networks
  • You want built-in scheduling, analytics & AI
  • Hosted deployment fits and the tiers fit your budget
Choose Social Fanout if…
  • You want to self-host the publishing layer under a written agreement
  • You want hosted white-label through a written reseller agreement
  • You want a free tier, Builder at $19, and Pro at $49
  • You want a single fan-out call with structured receipts
01 — Same category, different economics

Both expose a publish endpoint. Both ship an action MCP.

Ayrshare provides REST publishing, SDKs, and a hosted MCP server that can publish and retrieve analytics. Its publish endpoint accepts multiple networks and returns per-network results.

Social Fanout covers the same core — one POST /v1/publish, up to 20 targets, per-target receipts, a local action MCP.1 Where we diverge isn’t the feature list; it’s the deployment model and the economics around it.

Ayrshare you rent, in their cloud. Social Fanout you can run under a written agreement.

Three concrete forks: Social Fanout can be self-hosted by written agreement (Ayrshare advertises hosted plans); hosted white-label is available through a written reseller agreement rather than being bundled into an enterprise price tier; and we start with a free tier, Builder at $19, and Pro at $49.

03 — What it looks like to use

The same publish call — yours to host, or theirs

A AYRSHARE

POST https://api.ayrshare.com/api/post Authorization: Bearer $KEY { "post": "Shipping day 🚀", "platforms": ["twitter","linkedin"] } # hosted API · plan-specific branding

SOCIAL FANOUT

curl https://socialfanout.com/v1/publish \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "text": "Shipping day", "targets": [ {"platform":"bluesky","accountId":"conn_bluesky"}, {"platform":"threads","accountId":"conn_threads"} ], "dryRun": true }' # private validation · no native post

Replace the example account IDs with your owned connections and keep the key private. This dry run checks routing and plan access without posting. It does not prove provider acceptance. Approve the exact content and accounts before a live request.

Compare the required fields and response contract for your workflow. The Social Fanout example validates without sending; its live request requires approval of the exact content and connected accounts.
