Why switch?

Socify

  • Public lookups without connected accounts
  • Read-focused social schema
  • Credits for successful fetches only
  • No per-network OAuth dance for public data
  • Same nine platforms every plan
  • Agent-simple Bearer + JSON

Ayrshare

  • Built around post and schedule flows
  • Connected-account OAuth per brand
  • Publisher features you may never use
  • Inbox and management surface overhead
  • Plan gates around social actions
  • Not priced as pure read API

The hidden cost: a publishing API when you only need reads.

Ayrshare shines at multi-network publish and management. If your product only needs public profile and post lookups, you still carry posting scopes, connected accounts, and a publisher-shaped surface.

On Socify you do not inherit a publisher stack for public reads. Connected accounts stay optional; credits bill successful lookups only.

Switching from Ayrshare.

What is Socify?

Socify is a social-data API for builders and agents: nine major networks, credits as the only hard quota, a published uptime SLA, and one Bearer + JSON envelope across every plan.

How do I move from Ayrshare to Socify?

Mint a Bearer key and replace Ayrshare read paths with Socify /api/v1/{platform}/{resource} lookups for public data. Keep Ayrshare only where you still need publish.

Will Socify cover the same surface Ayrshare does?

Ayrshare spans publish and management; Socify covers public reads on nine major networks only.

How close is Socify’s API to Ayrshare’s?

Different jobs: Ayrshare is publish-centric; Socify is a read API with one JSON envelope.

Can I run Socify alongside Ayrshare before cutting over?

Yes. Keep Ayrshare on production paths while you shadow-read through Socify on the overlapping platforms. Compare payloads and latency, then flip traffic when you are ready: no need for a big-bang cutover.
