Free with no card, against $149/mo
Ayrshare starts at $149/mo. Its 28-day free trial, with no card, is on the $299/mo Launch plan; Premium, Business and Enterprise are billed at signup. Schedule & Chill is free with no card, so you can make real API calls against your own accounts for as long as you like.
Both ship an MCP server
Ayrshare runs its own MCP server with 32 tools for posts, analytics, comments, messages, profiles and media. Schedule & Chill's exposes 22 tools, 4 resources and 2 prompts. An AI agent can publish through either; the difference is the price.
Ayrshare covers far more networks
Ayrshare posts to 13+ networks and sends webhooks from the Launch plan up. Schedule & Chill publishes to 5 networks today and has no outbound webhooks. If you need either, Ayrshare is the honest pick.
Where Ayrshare is strong
- Well-documented REST API for 13+ networks
- Its own MCP server with 32 tools, plus a documentation MCP
- Webhooks from the Launch plan up
- Running since 2020; Ayrshare says more than 10,000 teams use its API
Where Ayrshare falls short
- Starts at $149/mo; the only free trial is on the $299/mo Launch plan
- Business bills every profile above 30 on top of the plan price
- Add-ons such as Max Pack ($300/mo) and Ads ($100/mo) raise the Business price
- Its media gallery API lists files; the docs show no filter by tag or type
Switching from Ayrshare
Both are REST APIs, so this is a real migration rather than a rebuild: swap the base URL, the auth header and the request shape. Check platform coverage first — Ayrshare supports 13+ networks and Schedule & Chill covers 5, so the move only works if your platforms are on that list.

Ayrshare vs Schedule & Chill, answered
The questions people actually search before choosing between the two.
Both products are REST APIs, so migration is mechanical. Point your client at the Schedule & Chill base URL, swap in a new auth token, and map your request fields using the API reference. One thing to plan for: if you rely on Ayrshare webhooks today, you will need to poll GET /api/posts/{id} instead, because Schedule & Chill has no outbound webhooks yet.
Schedule & Chill is free, against Ayrshare's $149/mo Premium and $599/mo Business plans ($499 billed yearly), and Business bills each profile above 30. But the free plan stops at 2 channels and 500 posts a month, and there is no bigger plan to buy today. Free also buys you 5 platforms; if you need Ayrshare's range or volume, the comparison is not really about price.
Yes. Schedule & Chill is built API-first for embedding posting into other software: accounts are connected once, and your product publishes through the REST API. Ayrshare supports this too. Schedule & Chill shows each account's publish status and the platform's error message on GET /api/posts/{id}.
Both ship a first-party MCP server that can publish. Schedule & Chill's exposes 22 tools, 4 resources and 2 prompts on the free plan, so agents on Claude Code, Cursor, n8n or Make.com can schedule posts with no glue code. Ayrshare's exposes 32 tools and needs a paid plan after the Launch trial. Pick by price and by the networks you need.
Ayrshare offers webhooks from the Launch plan up. Schedule & Chill does not ship outbound webhooks yet; publish status and per-account failure detail are available by polling GET /api/posts/{id}, which carries per-account status. That endpoint is available on every plan.
Yes. Upload an asset once via POST /api/media, reference it by media_id across any post, and filter the library by tag, type or text. Ayrshare also has a media gallery API; its docs show no tag or type filter.
Yes. Ayrshare supports 13+ networks; Schedule & Chill publishes to 5 today, with 5 more adapters built but awaiting platform review. If you depend on a network outside that list right now, stay on Ayrshare.
Yes, and there is nothing to cancel. Schedule & Chill is free with full API access, so you can connect an account and make real API calls without a card. Ayrshare's Launch plan also has a 28-day free trial with no card, so you can test both side by side.
