Compare - Social Fetch alternative
Social Fetch alternative
Social Fetch is the closest thing to what we built. Same idea, one key, many platforms. The difference is the price tag.
Live now
Social Fetch is the competitor I respect most, because it is the same idea as ours: one key, many platforms, clean JSON. 26 platforms, 274 endpoints, monitors that watch accounts for you, team seats. If you need that breadth, buy Social Fetch. This page exists because their pricing is hard to read, and ours is not.
Social Fetch publishes two price sets. On its monthly plans, Starter is $29 a month for 18,000 credits, which is $1.61 per 1,000 requests. On its comparison pages, the pay-as-you-go Starter pack is $14 for 1,000 credits, which is $14.00 per 1,000 requests. Same credit, same request, nearly 9x apart depending on which page you land on. That is not a trick, it is just credit pricing with two doors in. Our price is one table: $0.003 a call, $2.90 per 1,000 on Basic, $0.15 per 1,000 results at 20 per call.
The comparison below uses Social Fetch's monthly rates as the basis, because that is the fair fight, and shows the pay-as-you-go pack rates alongside so you can see both doors.
The call
One API key works for every endpoint below. Send your key in the x-api-key header.
curl -X POST https://social-data-api.chideraezeudu2.workers.dev/v1/tiktok/search \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"keyword": "coffee"}'Search takes keyword, count (default 20, max 50) and offset. One call costs 1 credit and returns a page of videos. The same key also covers X, with Instagram next and Reddit after.

When Social Fetch wins
On breadth, and on per-call price. 26 platforms against our 2 live, 274 endpoints against our 8, monitors that watch accounts for you, team seats, an MCP server for AI agents, and $1.61 per 1,000 requests on its monthly Starter against our $2.90 per 1,000 calls on Basic. It also lets you start with 100 free credits and no card, while our trial needs a card. If you need more than TikTok and X, or you need monitors and teammates on the same account, Social Fetch is the better buy, and this page will not tell you otherwise.
We win on price clarity and on focus. One price table, no second door: $0.003 a call, $29 a month, $0.15 per 1,000 results. And on the entry ticket for occasional use: a $10 top-up here buys 3,333 calls, while $10 at Social Fetch's pay-as-you-go Starter rate buys about 714 credits. If your work is TikTok and X, and you want to read the price once and understand it, we are the simpler choice.
How it works
- Get one API key from the Social Data API dashboard. The same key works for TikTok, X, Instagram and Reddit.
- Send the call above with your key in the
x-api-keyheader. - Use the JSON. List endpoints take
count(default 20 results per call, max 50) andcursorfor the next page.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Social Fetch have two different prices?
Because it sells credits two ways: monthly plans and one-off packs, and the per-credit rate differs between them. The monthly Starter plan is $29 for 18,000 credits, which is $1.61 per 1,000. The pay-as-you-go Starter pack is $14 for 1,000 credits, which is $14.00 per 1,000. Same credit, different door. Always check which price set you are reading.
Is Social Fetch cheaper than Social Data API?
Per call on a monthly plan, yes: $1.61 per 1,000 requests against our $2.90 per 1,000 calls on Basic. Per call on pay as you go, it depends which pack you buy: $14.00 per 1,000 on its Starter pack against our $3.00, or $1.64 per 1,000 on its Scale pack. Per result at 20 per call, it is $0.081 against our $0.15.
