Where PostWire is ahead
- The lowest bill of the three for an agency. 10 clients on 5 networks: $29 a month on PostWire Pro, every network included. Ayrshare: $299; Blotato: $499.
- It writes the posts. One request turns one idea into a native post per network — a hook for TikTok, a title and tags for YouTube, a longer post for LinkedIn — and the next call publishes them. Ayrshare publishes the text you send; its AI features come with the Max Pack, a +$300 a month add-on on Business.
- A free plan with the API and MCP in it. 1 business, 20 posts a month, no card, no time limit. Blotato has no free plan, and its 7-day trial excludes the API: generating a key ends the trial and starts the paid Starter.
- A free plan, with the API and MCP in it. 1 business, no card, no time limit. Ayrshare has no free plan; its 28-day trial is on Launch only.
- Every network's post written automatically, from one idea, in one request — from the dashboard, REST, n8n or MCP. On Blotato you ask its chat for each rewrite.
- Add it to Claude by signing in. PostWire's hosted MCP server takes OAuth 2.1 or an API key. Ayrshare's MCP server authenticates with a static Bearer key, so it is not a connector you add by signing in.
- An image or a short video from your words, with no credits. "Make an image from this post" and "Make a video from this post" turn the caption into an image card (1080×1350 or 1080×1920) or an 8–12 s vertical video, on every plan. Blotato's visuals and video spend AI credits (1,250 a month on Starter).
