Ayrshare and Social Magnum both let software run social media; the resemblance ends at who the software is. Ayrshare is a REST API for your code — thirteen networks behind endpoints, priced per profile at enterprise rates. Social Magnum is an app for your team with an MCP server for AI agents riding its ordinary flat plans. Comparing them is really deciding which caller you have: a backend with engineers, or an assistant with a login.

Where Ayrshare wins

  • Thirteen networks. Including X, LinkedIn and Google Business — five more than we publish to. A platform serving arbitrary customers needs that breadth.
  • Code-first maturity. Years of SDKs, webhooks, docs and edge cases. If engineers are integrating social posting into a product, this surface is the benchmark.
  • Volume economics. $2.49 per profile past 500 — at genuine enterprise scale, the per-profile ladder becomes fair value.
  • The 28-day trial. No card, full Business features — a serious evaluation window.

Where Social Magnum wins

  • The bill below enterprise. $24 against $299 at ten profiles, with no add-on packs.
  • The agent era arrived. If the “integration” is an AI assistant, our MCP server replaces the SDK-and-keys exercise: OAuth sign-in, 26 tools, approvals and pacing enforced server-side.
  • Humans get an app too. Calendar, inbox, approvals and analytics for the team — Ayrshare assumes you build the interface.
  • A free plan exists. 2 accounts and 15 posts a month to build against, forever.

Which one to pick

The short version

  1. 1

    Your product posts on behalf of many customers, in code: Ayrshare — its per-profile ladder and mature REST surface are built for exactly that.

  2. 2

    An AI agent or a human team runs your own accounts: Social Magnum — $24 flat with the app, inbox and MCP included.

  3. 3

    X, LinkedIn or Google Business is required: Ayrshare; we publish to none of them.

  4. 4

    Budget rules below enterprise scale: Social Magnum, at roughly a tenth of the price per ten profiles.

  5. 5

    Cheapest honest test: their 28-day Launch trial against our free plan — wire the same workflow into both.

Frequently asked

Is Social Magnum cheaper than Ayrshare?

At matching profile counts, by roughly ten times: Social Magnum's $24 flat plan covers 10 accounts where Ayrshare's Launch tier covers 10 profiles for $299, and our $119 top plan covers 70 accounts where Ayrshare's Business starts at $599 for 30. At true enterprise volume Ayrshare's per-profile rates fall to $2.49, where the comparison changes. Prices from both pages, 23 August 2026.

Does Ayrshare have a free plan?

No — plans start at $149 a month for one profile, with a 28-day no-card trial on the $299 Launch plan. Social Magnum keeps a free plan of 2 accounts and 15 posts a month, with MCP agent access included.

What is the difference between Ayrshare's API and Social Magnum's MCP server?

Ayrshare gives your code REST endpoints — you write and maintain the integration. Social Magnum's MCP server gives an AI agent typed tools it reads like documentation: Claude, ChatGPT or Codex connects with OAuth and schedules, replies and reads analytics conversationally, with approvals and rate limits enforced on our side. Different callers, different products.

When is Ayrshare worth $149 a month?

When software must post on behalf of many customers across thirteen networks with enterprise reliability — its docs, webhooks and volume pricing ($8.99 down to $2.49 per profile) are built for platforms, and nothing on our side replaces that. For running your own brand's accounts, it is more machine than the job needs.

Can I switch from Ayrshare to Social Magnum?

If an AI agent or human team will do what your integration did, yes: connect accounts, wire the agent over MCP with OAuth, and retire the keys — the free plan lets you prove the workflow first. If a backend service must keep calling REST endpoints, stay with Ayrshare or a code-first alternative like Upload-Post or Postiz.
