Why switch?

Socify

  • Social-only nine networks
  • One schema, no mixed web junk
  • Pay per successful social lookup
  • 99.97% SLA
  • Fast major-network fetches
  • Builder-focused plans

SocialCrawl

  • 68 platforms mixing web sources
  • Catalog breadth over social focus
  • Uneven social depth
  • Harder to reason about schema
  • General crawl positioning
  • Weaker social-only SLA story

The part that does not scale: breadth without a social-only schema.

Breadth looks good on a pricing page. Agents paying for mixed non-social sources still want a tight social envelope and success-based credits.

On Socify you pay for a social-only schema, not a mixed 68-source catalog. Credits move only when a social lookup succeeds.

Switching from SocialCrawl.

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 SocialCrawl to Socify?

Cut over social routes to Socify; leave general web crawl elsewhere if needed.

Will Socify cover the same surface SocialCrawl does?

SocialCrawl mixes many sources; Socify is social-only on nine networks.

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

Expect adapters: different catalogs and envelopes.

Can I run Socify alongside SocialCrawl before cutting over?

Yes. Keep SocialCrawl 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.
