PlanVortex vs Ayrshare for publishing to social from your own product

Ayrshare starts at $149/month with no free plan. PlanVortex starts at €0/month, and its first paid plan costs €15/month. That's the biggest difference between the two, but not the only one: Ayrshare covers more than double the social networks and ships SDKs in four languages that PlanVortex doesn't have yet. This comparison covers both sides.

How much does each one cost?

Prices verified at ayrshare.com/pricing on August 20, 2026, and in PlanVortex's production code (PLAN_PRICES) the same date.

	Entry plan	Mid plan	Top plan	Enterprise
Ayrshare	Premium: $149/month	Launch: $299/month	Business: from $599/month	Enterprise: custom
PlanVortex	Free: €0/month	Basic: €15/month	Pro: €30/month	Custom: custom

Ayrshare has no free tier: its cheapest plan, Premium, already costs $149/month. The closest thing to "free" is the 28-day trial on the Launch plan, which becomes paid after that month. PlanVortex has a permanent free plan, no card required, no expiration.

What's included in each plan?

This is where price alone is misleading, because the two measure different things: Ayrshare limits by user profiles, PlanVortex by connected accounts.

Ayrshare (verified on its pricing page):

Plan	Social profiles	Connected accounts
Premium ($149/mo)	1	Up to 13, across 13 networks
Launch ($299/mo)	Up to 10	Up to 130
Business (from $599/mo)	30 (scalable to 300)	Up to 390
Enterprise	From 300	Thousands

PlanVortex (PLAN_LIMITS in production code):

Plan	Accounts	Users	Publications/month	AI credits/month
Free (€0)	3	1	40	— (no AI)
Basic (€15/mo)	4	1	150	1,000
Pro (€30/mo)	8	3	300	4,000
Custom	Custom	Custom	Custom	Custom

This surfaces the second axis of comparison: for $149/month, Ayrshare gives up to 13 social accounts but only 1 user profile and no limit on scheduled posts. For €30/month, PlanVortex gives 8 accounts, 3 users, and 300 publications, with AI content generation included. These are different pricing structures, not a direct conversion — you have to run the numbers against your own volume.

Supported social networks

Ayrshare covers more than double: Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Bluesky, Reddit, Telegram, Google Business Profile, Threads, Pinterest, Snapchat, and YouTube (13, per its own site). PlanVortex covers Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, and WhatsApp (6).

If the product you're building needs to publish to Reddit, Bluesky, or YouTube today, the answer is simple: Ayrshare has them and PlanVortex doesn't. Where PlanVortex has something Ayrshare doesn't list among its networks: WhatsApp, built for messaging rather than a feed, with its own rules inside the product.

Developer tooling

This is where Ayrshare clearly wins. Per its own documentation, it offers:

• Official SDKs for Node.js, Python, Go, and PHP
• Its own CLI
• A native MCP server, so AI agents can call the API directly
• Real-time webhooks
• A white-label version of the API

PlanVortex documents its public API in Swagger, with outbound webhooks and a white-label option (€100 to remove the brand), but doesn't publish official SDKs in any language yet. Integration is direct REST. If the team integrating would rather not hand-write the HTTP client, today that's a point in Ayrshare's favor.

AI content generation

This doesn't show up in any pricing table, but it's the biggest product difference. The APIs Ayrshare publicly documents are Publishing, History, Analytics, Engagement, and Creator Data: none of them generate text or images with AI. PlanVortex does this out of the box from the basic plan up — you describe the week's theme and the planner generates text and an image for each network, at optimal times, with human review before anything publishes.

Where each one wins, without spin

Ayrshare wins on: number of supported networks (13 vs. 6), official SDKs in four languages plus a CLI and MCP server, and a product with more years in market and volume (per its own site, 10,000+ client teams and 30M+ daily calls — its own figure, not independently verified).

PlanVortex wins on: entry price (€0 and €15/month vs. $149/month with no free tier), and AI content generation — text and image — built into the planner itself, something Ayrshare doesn't offer per its documented APIs.

When each one makes sense

If the product needs networks PlanVortex doesn't support yet — Bluesky, Reddit, YouTube — or the team would rather integrate with a ready-made SDK than raw REST, Ayrshare is the option today, with a $149/month entry cost to budget for from month one.

If the networks you need are within PlanVortex's six, and the project needs to validate the integration without committing budget upfront, the free plan (€0, 3 accounts, 40 publications) lets you test it end to end before paying anything — something Ayrshare doesn't offer.

How PlanVortex charges

Flat price per plan, with no hidden per-account fees within those limits: free is free, basic is €15/month, pro is €30/month, custom is tailored from pro's limits upward. Full detail, with the four-column comparison table, is on the pricing page.
