Spaces vs Agorapulse
Agorapulse is social media management for teams: publishing, a social inbox for comments, DMs and reviews, listening and reports, plus a free MCP connector for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot — priced per user. Spaces is messaging infrastructure for AI agents: one REST API and one MCP server that let the agent you already use — in Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, Cursor or your own code — read and answer conversations on Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Messenger.
In one line: Agorapulse is a social team's inbox and calendar, per user; Spaces is the connection your own agent uses to answer chats, per account. Here is how they differ, and when each is the better choice.
| Spaces | Agorapulse | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Messaging API + MCP server for AI agents | Social media management for teams: publishing, inbox, listening, reports |
| Built for | Developers and businesses whose own agent answers customers on chat apps | Social media managers and teams, from one person to large organisations |
| Channels | Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Messenger (inbox). TikTok posts and comments are live — no TikTok DM inbox. Facebook Pages coming soon. | Publishing and comments across Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Reddit and Google Business. DMs on Facebook, Instagram and X (X needs a paid add-on). LinkedIn: comments and mentions — private messages from a personal profile can't be synced. TikTok: comments only. |
| The number you already use, linked by QR code, and it keeps working on your phone. No Meta approval, no templates and no Meta message fees. | Not listed on any Agorapulse page we checked. | |
| AI | No built-in agent: bring your own. Routines for new messages, keywords and no-reply follow-ups. | AI writing assistant, alt text and report summaries on every plan |
| MCP | https://api.spacesos.com/mcp, every plan including Free, any MCP client. The agent can send, with optional approvals. | Free MCP connector at https://api.openmcp.agorapulse.com/mcp for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot, on current plans (not Legacy). The assistant can answer the inbox (each reply confirmed with you), draft posts and pull reports; there is no publish-now action. |
| API | REST API on every plan, including Free | Public REST API reference for publishing, inbox, listening and analytics, with webhooks |
| Who you pay for | Connected accounts; no seats | Users, with 10 social profiles included per plan |
| Price | Free: $0, 1 account, 50 actions a day, no card. Pay as you go: $9 per connected account a month, with 1,000 actions a month per account (pooled), then $5 per 1,000 (less at high volume). Reading messages is always free. No seats, no yearly option. | Per user a month: Standard $79 billed annually ($99 monthly), Professional $119 ($149), Advanced $149 ($199); Custom on request. 30-day free trial. |
| 1 person, 5 accounts | $45 a month (5 × $9, 5,000 actions pooled) | $79 a month on Standard billed annually, or $99 monthly (10 profiles included — but no WhatsApp and no LinkedIn messages) |
| 3 people, same 5 accounts | $45 a month — no per-seat fee | $237 a month billed annually (3 × $79), or $297 monthly (3 × $99) |
Example assumes five accounts — say two Instagram profiles, one Facebook account for Messenger, one LinkedIn profile and one WhatsApp number — within Spaces' included actions (each extra 1,000 actions is $5). This is not a like-for-like price. Agorapulse's user fee buys publishing, listening, reporting and an inbox for comments and reviews that Spaces does not offer. Spaces' price buys chat accounts your agent works, including WhatsApp and LinkedIn messages, and does not include what your AI model costs to run. Prices exclude tax.
Choose Agorapulse if
- You manage social profiles for a brand or clients and want publishing, inbox, listening and reports in one tool.
- You moderate comments and Google reviews alongside your posts.
- You need X DMs, or networks such as Reddit, Pinterest, YouTube or Google Business.
- You want Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot to help a social team work its inbox and calendar.
Choose Spaces if
- Your customers write on WhatsApp, or you need LinkedIn messages — Agorapulse lists neither.
- Your own agent should do the answering through any MCP client, not only Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot.
- You want limits, pacing, warm-up and approvals handled for every account.
- You want pricing per connected account rather than per user, starting on a Free plan.
About how WhatsApp connects
Agorapulse does not list WhatsApp on the pages we checked, so this only matters if your agent needs WhatsApp.
Spaces links the WhatsApp number you already use by QR code, without the Business API. For up to 24 hours after a WhatsApp account connects, reconnects, or is disconnected and connected again, Spaces does not start new chats or outreach. Replies in chats that already exist still go out. Other channels have no reply-only window: the warm-up limits apply from the first day, and replies to people who wrote in go out immediately. That number stays under WhatsApp's own automation rules: Spaces keeps every account inside limits, which lowers the risk without removing it.
