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.
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.

The same publish call — yours to host, or theirs
A AYRSHARE
SOCIAL FANOUT
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.
When Ayrshare fits
You need SDKs, scheduling, analytics and engagement APIs across Ayrshare’s supported networks, including Snapchat, Telegram and Google Business Profile. Check its profile-based plan limits against your intended customer count.
If you’re starting fresh and either self-hosting or hosted white-label by written agreement matters — or you just want to start free — that’s the ground Social Fanout was built on.
