SocialAPIs vs Data365
Pricing verified June 2026. All claims linked to a source at the bottom of the page.
Data365 ([data365.co](https://data365.co)) sells a credit-based social media data API across 7 networks — Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest, Threads. The product is solid; the buying experience is built for analytics teams with procurement, not for developers shipping by Friday. Signup is a contact-sales form, trials are gated, and the entry plan is €300/month.
Data365's pricing is transparent on the page but the floor is high. Compare like-for-like and the gap is in onboarding cost, not raw per-call rate.
“Where Data365 wins: platform breadth. They cover Reddit, Pinterest, Threads, and X out of the box — we don't (Facebook + Instagram live today, with TikTok / X / LinkedIn / YouTube on the roadmap). Where we win: anyone can sign up in 30 seconds with 200 free calls, no credit card, no sales call. Paid plans start at $4.99/month (Pro) — about 60× less than Data365's €300 floor. If you're a developer evaluating before you commit, or running production at sub-€300/month volumes, we're the better entry point. If you need Reddit + Pinterest + Threads on day one, Data365 covers more ground.”
| SocialAPIs | Data365 | |
|---|---|---|
| Signup | Self-serve, 30 seconds, no card | Sales form → wait for rep → access provisioned |
| Entry tier | Free: 200 calls/month. Paid: $4.99/mo (Pro, 1,500 calls) | Basic: €300/month, one platform |
| Platform coverage today | Facebook + Instagram (TikTok / X / LinkedIn / YouTube on roadmap) | Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest, Threads — 7 networks |
| Pricing transparency | Public per-tier table, exact per-call cost in `X-SocialAPIs-Credits-Deducted` header | Public tier table but per-call cost varies (1/5/7/9 credits) and requires modeling |
| Free trial | Free tier, no time limit, no card | 14-day trial, no card but sales-gated to start |
| MCP / AI agents | Native MCP server, in MCP Registry | Not advertised |
| Target buyer | Developers + small teams; agencies + enterprise on custom plans | Analytics + market-research teams at enterprise |
If you only need Facebook + Instagram, Data365's €300/month minimum is about 60× our cheapest paid plan, Pro ($4.99/mo, 1.5K requests), and even our top self-serve plan, Mega ($179/mo, 120K requests), sits below it. If you use most of Data365's 500K credits every month, their per-credit rate (~€0.60 / 1,000) is lower than our $1.49 on Mega, but their calls cost 1–9 credits each. If you need 5+ platforms today and don't mind the sales-gate, Data365 covers more of them in a single contract. The crossover point isn't volume — it's platform-breadth required on day one.
Yes, materially, at the entry tier. Data365 starts at €300/month for one platform. We start at $4.99/month (or free for evaluation). At high volume it flips: if you use most of their 500K credits, their per-credit rate (~€0.60 / 1,000) is below our Mega rate ($1.49 / 1,000), and past 120K calls a month we quote custom plans. The gap is in the floor, not the ceiling.
If you need Reddit, Pinterest, Threads, or X on day one and you're comfortable with a sales-gated signup + €300/month minimum, Data365 covers more platforms in one contract than we do today. We focus on Facebook + Instagram and add platforms based on customer demand — TikTok, X, LinkedIn, and YouTube are on our roadmap but not live.
Yes, but simpler. We default to 1 credit per call, with variable pricing on a few endpoints where the cost depends on what's actually returned (e.g. page posts charges `ceil(posts_returned / 3)`). The actual amount deducted is reported in an `X-SocialAPIs-Credits-Deducted` response header so you can reconcile from your client — no spreadsheet modeling needed.
Yes. Sign up at socialapis.io/auth/signup with an email, get an API token, make a call. 200 free calls/month, no credit card, no sales rep. The first interaction with us is when you decide to upgrade — and even then it's a checkout, not a procurement call.
Honest answer: I haven't done a controlled head-to-head benchmark, so I can't make a claim. Both products scrape the same public surface; what differs is endpoint coverage, schema, and the operational layer (proxy rotation, DOM-change resilience). If a specific endpoint is critical to your use case, the free tier on our side lets you smoke-test before committing.

200 free calls / month. No credit card. The same engineering behind 7.2M+ monthly calls, one curl away.
