# Status 200 Uploads vs Ayrshare

Canonical: https://status200uploads.com/vs/ayrshare

Competitor details last verified 15 October 2026.

Ayrshare is a social media API that products embed to post for their own users. Here is how it compares, checked against Ayrshare's own pricing page and API docs.

## Verdict

### Status 200 is better for

- Creators, small businesses and agencies who post to accounts they manage and want a free plan, or paid plans from $9/mo instead of $149/mo
- Skool community owners: Skool is not among the networks Ayrshare lists
- Claude users: our AI connector signs in (OAuth) as a custom connector, from Beginner, while Ayrshare's docs say its MCP server cannot be added as a personal connector in claude.ai, Claude Desktop or the Claude mobile app

### Ayrshare is better for

- SaaS platforms whose own users link their social accounts inside the product, through a white-label linking page or an embedded Connect widget
- Developers who need Bluesky, Google Business Profile, Reddit, Snapchat or Telegram, or WhatsApp messaging (beta)
- Products that need comments, direct messages, reviews and webhooks through the same API
- Platforms with hundreds of end-user profiles: Business pricing falls to $1.99 per profile a month, billed yearly, beyond 500

### Ayrshare

| Plan | Price | What it includes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Premium | $149/mo | Billed monthly ($129/mo billed yearly); 1 social profile |
| Launch | $299/mo | Billed monthly ($249/mo billed yearly); up to 10 social profiles; 28-day free trial |
| Business | $599/mo | Billed monthly ($499/mo billed yearly); 30 social profiles included, then priced per profile, up to 300 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Volume-based pricing, from 300 social profiles; includes the Max Pack |

Ayrshare bills per active social profile: one customer, brand or location counts as one profile, however many networks it connects. The prices shown are billed monthly; billed yearly ("Save 17%") they are $129, $249 and $499 a month. On Business, profiles 31 to 100 cost $8.99 each a month ($7.99 billed yearly), 101 to 500 $3.49 ($2.99) and above 500 $2.49 ($1.99). There is no free plan for new sign-ups: the Launch plan has a 28-day free trial that needs a credit card or Stripe Link, and Premium, Business and Enterprise are billed at sign-up. On Business, the Max Pack (AI generation, link shortener, image resizing and more) is $300/mo and Facebook boosted ads $100/mo; Enterprise includes the Max Pack. Ayrshare's pricing FAQ says every plan includes unlimited API calls and unlimited posts; its help center adds that each profile has a monthly post quota set by its plan, and that failed posts count toward it. Posting to X needs your own X developer app and X API credits, which X bills separately.

## Key differences

### A free plan, then $9/mo

Status 200 has a permanent Free plan (1 profile, 30 posts per month, REST API keys) and paid plans from $9/mo ($7.50 a month billed yearly) for 3 profiles. Ayrshare has no free plan for new sign-ups: Premium, its first plan, is $149/mo ($129 billed yearly) for 1 social profile, and the 28-day free trial of its Launch plan needs a credit card or Stripe Link.

### An AI connector that signs in

Status 200's MCP server lets an AI app sign in to your account (OAuth), so you can add it to Claude as a custom connector. Tested with Claude and Claude Code. The AI connector is included in every paid plan, from Beginner. Ayrshare's MCP server accepts only an API key sent in a request header: its docs say Claude Code can connect that way, but personal custom connectors in claude.ai, Claude Desktop and the Claude mobile app cannot.

### Skool and 5 GB YouTube uploads

Status 200 posts to Skool communities on every paid plan, from Beginner ($9/mo); Skool is not among the networks Ayrshare lists. Status 200 also uploads YouTube videos up to 5 GB, where Ayrshare's media guidelines set 4 GB (larger files on Enterprise, by request).

### Where Ayrshare is ahead

Ayrshare is built for products that post for their own users: each user links accounts on a white-label page or in an embedded Connect widget, and one call posts to up to 13 networks, Bluesky, Google Business Profile, Reddit, Snapchat and Telegram among them, with WhatsApp messaging in beta. Its API also covers comments, direct messages, reviews, webhooks, Facebook and Instagram ad boosts and GraphQL, with official Node.js, Python and Flutter SDKs, and its per-profile rate falls to $1.99 a month (billed yearly) beyond 500 profiles.

## Who should use which?

### Choose Status 200 if...

- You post to accounts you manage (one brand or several) and want a free plan, or 3 profiles for $9/mo
- You publish to Skool, or upload long YouTube videos (up to 5 GB)
- You want Claude or Claude Code to post for you after you sign in

### Choose Ayrshare if...

- You are building a product whose users connect their own social accounts inside your app, with a white-label linking page and per-profile billing
- You need Bluesky, Google Business Profile, Reddit, Snapchat or Telegram, or WhatsApp messaging
- You need comments, DMs, reviews or webhooks through the API
- You need LinkedIn document or multi-image posts, Pinterest video Pins, X threads and polls, or Facebook Stories
- You want official Node.js or Flutter SDKs, or a GraphQL API
- You run hundreds of end-user profiles: Business pricing falls to $1.99 per profile a month (billed yearly) beyond 500

## Switching from Ayrshare?

1. Create a free Status 200 Uploads account at status200uploads.com/signup
2. Connect the social accounts you post to through Ayrshare, one profile per brand. Eight networks connect through their own official sign-in (OAuth), so we never see your password. Skool has no such sign-in: you paste your Skool session cookie, which we store encrypted.
3. Point your code at the REST API (https://status200uploads.com/api/v2): one request publishes one post to one network from one profile, where Ayrshare takes a platforms array in one call, and post.scheduledFor schedules it up to 365 days ahead
4. Recreate your scheduled posts in the dashboard or through the API; there is no import tool
5. Check that your first posts publish, then cancel your Ayrshare subscription

## Questions

### Is Status 200 cheaper than Ayrshare?

On list price, yes, though the two are built for different jobs. Ayrshare Premium is $149/mo ($129 billed yearly) for 1 social profile, Launch $299/mo ($249 billed yearly) for up to 10, and Business $599/mo ($499 billed yearly) for 30, then $8.99 per extra profile a month ($7.99 billed yearly) up to 100. Status 200 has a Free plan for 1 profile, then Beginner at $9/mo ($90 a year) for 3 profiles, Skilled at $69/mo ($690 a year) for 10, Expert at $199/mo ($1,990 a year) for 25 and Agency at $499/mo (monthly billing only) with unlimited profiles. At 30 profiles, Ayrshare Business billed yearly and Status 200 Agency (billed monthly) both cost $499 a month. Ayrshare's price also pays for things Status 200 does not offer, such as comments, DMs and webhooks through the API, linking pages for your own users, and posting to Bluesky, Google Business Profile, Reddit, Snapchat and Telegram.

### Does Ayrshare have a free plan?

Not for new sign-ups. Ayrshare's help center says its Basic plan, which included 20 posts per month, is no longer available to new accounts; to try Ayrshare for free you start the 28-day free trial of its Launch plan, which needs a credit card or Stripe Link at checkout. Status 200 has a permanent Free plan with 1 profile, 30 posts per month on 7 networks (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Threads) and REST API keys. No credit card required.

### How does posting to X compare?

Since 31 March 2026, Ayrshare requires your own X developer app for every X request: you create one app in X's developer console, send its API key and secret as two headers on each call that targets X, and buy X API credits from X (Ayrshare's guide says the minimum purchase is $5). On Status 200, X is a $9/mo add-on on any plan, Free included, with 200 X posts per billing month, up to 20 of them with a link; X posts do not count toward your plan's allowance.

### Can Claude post through Status 200 or Ayrshare?

Both have an MCP server. Status 200's, at https://mcp.status200uploads.com/mcp, lets the AI app sign in to your account (OAuth), so you can add it to Claude as a custom connector; it can then publish, schedule, check and retry posts on all 9 networks (Skool included, X with the $9/mo add-on). Tested with Claude and Claude Code. The AI connector is included in every paid plan, from Beginner; the Free plan has the REST API. Ayrshare's MCP server, at https://api.ayrshare.com/mcp, accepts only your Ayrshare API key in a request header: its docs say Claude Code can connect that way, while personal custom connectors in claude.ai, Claude Desktop and the Claude mobile app cannot (an administrator option in beta covers some Claude Team and Enterprise organizations).

### Which networks does each support?

Both post to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Threads. Ayrshare also posts to Bluesky, Google Business Profile, Reddit, Snapchat and Telegram, and lists WhatsApp for messaging (beta). Status 200 adds Skool, included from Beginner ($9/mo). X is a $9/mo add-on on Status 200; on Ayrshare it needs your own X developer app and X API credits.

### Do Status 200 and Ayrshare work with n8n, Zapier or Make?

Both can be used from n8n. Status 200 has a community node, @status200uploads/n8n-nodes-status200uploads, which n8n verified on 26 October 2026, for n8n Cloud and self-hosted n8n; n8n's HTTP Request node does the same without it. Ayrshare documents two routes: n8n's built-in MCP Client Tool node connected to its MCP server, or the HTTP Request node. There is no Status 200 app in Zapier or Make. Ayrshare's integrations page does not list Zapier, and on Make the Ayrshare app is maintained by the developer Stob AI, according to Make's listing.

### Can I move my Ayrshare integration to Status 200?

Yes, with a few changes. Ayrshare publishes one post to several networks in one call (the platforms array) and acts for a user profile with a Profile-Key header. Status 200's REST API takes one request per post per network, names the profile in accountId, and schedules with post.scheduledFor up to 365 days ahead; DELETE cancels a scheduled post. Media can be imported from a URL (videos up to 5 GB, images up to 20 MB). There is no import tool for scheduled posts and no webhooks yet, so read a post's status with GET /api/v2/posts/{id}. For Python there is a package: pip install status200uploads.
