Comparing apples to apples: Ayrshare is API-only
Pitting our free plan against Ayrshare wouldn't be honest: they're different things. Ayrshare sells API access, and in PlanVortex that lives in the Custom plan, the one that lets you create your own apps and call the API. That plan starts at around €79 a month plus VAT with its minimum resources — 8 accounts, 3 users, 300 posts a month, 3 integrations, 1 GB of storage and 4,000 AI credits — and scales up from there based on what you configure. Against Ayrshare's ~$149 a month, that comes out to less than half, with a dashboard included.
When we're NOT the best option
If you have a single profile and post every once in a while, you don't need any of this: your network's own app is enough. PlanVortex starts paying off once there are several accounts, several people or several clients involved.
When we are
When you manage other people's accounts, when you need to truly separate clients, when you want to give them access to a dashboard without building one yourself, or when you want all of that living inside your own product.
