Data365 is a read-only API built to pull public social data in at scale: profiles, posts, engagement. Ayrshare publishes and manages content out on behalf of your users, and also reads back in: analytics, post history, and a Listen API for real-time keyword, hashtag, and mention monitoring with sentiment. Harvesting large volumes of arbitrary public data is Data365's job; publishing, managing, and listening across the accounts you serve is Ayrshare's. Some products use both. - **Ayrshare**: Where Data365 pulls public data in, Ayrshare publishes content out on behalf of your users. One integration handles publishing across **13+ networks**, a Listen API for keyword and mention monitoring with sentiment, analytics, comments and DM automation, pre-publish validation, and Facebook Ads, plus a History API for AI brand-voice training. Built for multi-tenant products and billed **per Social Profile**, proven at 30M+ daily API calls with 24/7 engineering-backed support. - **Data365**: A **read-only** data extraction API for developers who need structured public social media data at scale. Covers Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, Reddit, Threads, and Pinterest. Live-from-source data model (no cached datasets), customizable by data type, frequency, and volume. No publishing or scheduling capability. Pricing requires a sales conversation; a 14-day free trial is available. ## Side by side - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ## Per profile vs. custom data contract Ayrshare's pricing is profile-count-based and publicly structured: one profile connects all 13+ networks as a single billing unit, starting at **$149/mo** (Premium) and scaling with your user base. Data365's pricing is scoped per sales engagement, billed monthly and driven by which platforms, data types, update frequency, and volume you need. Because the two products bill differently for different jobs, a head-to-head price comparison is less useful than understanding what drives cost in each. Ayrshare's cost scales with the number of brands you publish for; Data365's scales with how much public data you pull and from how many networks. - - - - ## Which one is right for you? ## Both earn strong marks, for different things Ayrshare reviewers highlight API quality, documentation, and technical support. Data365 reviewers highlight support responsiveness, onboarding, and the value of one unified extraction API versus maintaining separate platform integrations. > Greatest social media integration API ever. The documentation doesn't take long to understand and the API response is very fast. > — Diaa N., developer-rated > Data365 is an affordable social media data provider that is very easy to integrate into your app or service. > — Verified reviewer ## Different directions of data flow, sometimes complementary Most teams aren't choosing between Ayrshare and Data365. They're matching the right API to a specific job. Data365 moves data **in**: public posts, profiles, and engagement metrics from social platforms into your pipeline. Ayrshare moves data **out**, and listens around the accounts it serves: publishing, scheduling, and managing content across 13+ networks, plus a Listen API for monitoring keywords, hashtags, and mentions. Some products need both: a social analytics or influencer platform might use Data365 to ingest public data at scale and Ayrshare to publish, manage, and monitor for connected accounts. If you're embedding social posting into a product for the first time, we hand your team a reference integration and stay with you on Slack through the build. No ticket queue.

It retrieves public posts, profiles, comments, and engagement metrics from social platforms. It doesn't offer posting, scheduling, or publishing endpoints. If your job is publishing content on behalf of your users, Ayrshare is the relevant choice. If your job is extracting public social data at scale, Data365 is built for that. ### Does Ayrshare extract public social media data like Data365 does? Not at the same scale, but Ayrshare does read social data. Its History API returns up to 200 to 500 past posts per connected profile, and its Listen API monitors keywords, hashtags, and mentions in real time with sentiment and brand/competitor lookups. What Ayrshare isn't built for is harvesting arbitrary public profiles in bulk: Data365 is purpose-built for large-scale ingestion of public data across Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, Reddit, Threads, and Pinterest, with control over frequency and volume. If you need monitoring tied to the accounts and conversations you act on, Ayrshare covers it; if you need raw public data at high volume for research or model training, Data365 is the stronger fit. ### Can I use Ayrshare for social listening? Yes. Ayrshare's Listen API monitors social media for keywords, hashtags, and mentions in real time so you can track brand conversations, sentiment, and trends, and it includes brand and competitor lookups on the Business plan. The difference from a dedicated data provider like Data365 is intent: Ayrshare's listening is built to flow straight into action, so you can monitor a mention and then reply, post, or report through the same API, rather than exporting raw public data at scale into a separate pipeline. ### Which is better for an AI or LLM data pipeline? It depends on the direction of data flow. Data365 explicitly serves AI-oriented businesses and supports scalable, real-time public data extraction across seven networks, making it a direct fit for data-ingestion-heavy AI use cases. Ayrshare is oriented toward outbound publishing: an AI agent can use Ayrshare to post, schedule, and measure content across 13+ networks on behalf of users, with a hosted MCP server and a History API for brand-voice context. If you need to ingest public social data to train or power a model, Data365 is the stronger fit. If you need to publish compliant content as an AI agent, Ayrshare is. ### What social platforms does Data365 cover? Data365 provides structured JSON data from Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), TikTok, Reddit, Threads, and Pinterest. YouTube is referenced as on their roadmap but not yet a fully supported extraction platform as of 2026. Ayrshare publishes to 13+ networks including several Data365 doesn't extract. ### Is Data365's pricing public? Not in full. Data365 routes prospects through a contact form; the sales team then scopes a plan based on data types, platforms, update frequency, and volume, with monthly billing. Capterra lists a starting price of around 300 euros per month, but verify directly with Data365. All users get a free 14-day trial with some limitations. ### What does Ayrshare offer that Data365 does not? The ability to publish, schedule, and manage social content as an API. Ayrshare covers the full outbound lifecycle: multi-tenant publishing across 13+ networks, a History API for connected accounts, an Analytics API, pre-publish validation, comments and DM automation, review management, Facebook Ads, and per-profile billing. Data365 has no publishing capability. The two products solve adjacent but non-overlapping jobs: outbound content management versus inbound data extraction. ### Can I use both Ayrshare and Data365 together? Yes, and for some products that combination makes sense. A social media analytics or influencer marketing platform might use Data365 to ingest public profile and post data, and Ayrshare to publish and manage content on behalf of connected user accounts. Because the two serve opposite data-flow directions, they complement rather than duplicate each other. ## More comparisons you're weighing - **Phyllo** - **OneAll** - **Bundle.social** - **Twilio** - **Buffer** ## Building social into your product?
