Ocoya vs Zernio
A developer-first REST API and hosted MCP server to post, schedule and analyze content.
Zernio is the broadest API on this list: publishing, comments, reviews and DMs, ads across nine networks, blog publishing, WhatsApp broadcasts, phone numbers and SMS, all behind one REST API and a hosted MCP server. It has no plans — the first two accounts are free and each one after that costs $6 down to $1 a month. If you are a developer building social, messaging or ads into your own product, pick Zernio; nothing here matches its reach. Ocoya is a hosted app for the people who make the content: AI captions and images, a Design Studio, campaign generation, SEO blog campaigns and email marketing, with an API and MCP server on top for driving it from code.
Where each one is stronger.
Every claim in the Zernio column comes from a page they publish, checked in November 2026. Rows where they are ahead are marked as such.
| Capability | ||
|---|---|---|
| Building it into your own app | Possible through the REST API, but Ocoya is built as an app for marketing teams, not as infrastructure for your product | The whole product — one REST API with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec for publishing, inbox, ads, blogs, messaging and phone |
| Free plan | No free plan — a 7-day free trial instead | The first 2 connected accounts are free, no card needed — every feature included |
| Pricing model | Plans by size — $29, $79 or $199/mo, with users, social profiles and AI credits bundled | Per connected account, no plans or seats — $6/mo each for accounts 3–10, $3 for 11–100, $1 past 100 |
| Team seats | Unlimited users on every plan — invite your whole team and your clients at no extra cost, no per-seat pricing | No seat pricing, but team members are not described on their pricing page or docs — role-based access is listed on Enterprise |
| Price at 20 profiles | $79/mo on Team — 20 social profiles, 1,500 AI credits, unlimited users | $78/mo for 20 connected accounts — 2 free, 8 at $6, 10 at $3 — with no seat pricing |

| Public API | REST API with a published reference, on every plan | The API is the product — full access on every account, with webhooks for messages, comments and account events |
| MCP / AI assistant control | mcp.ocoya.com — an OAuth-secured MCP server covering the whole product: create, design, schedule, run workflows and switch brands. Included on every plan | A hosted MCP server at mcp.zernio.com with OAuth 2.1 or a Bearer key, or run it locally from their Python SDK |
| Unified inbox | DMs, comments, mentions and Google reviews from Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, Google Business, Telegram, Discord, Mastodon, WordPress and Whop in one inbox, with AI reply suggestions, assignment, open/resolved statuses and internal notes. On Facebook and Instagram you can also hide or delete a comment and ban its author | Comments, reviews and DMs through one API — DMs on Instagram, Facebook, X, WhatsApp, iMessage, Bluesky, Reddit, Telegram and Slack; 10,000 messages a month free — an API, with no assignment or statuses described |
| Analytics | In private beta — not yet open to every account | Impressions, reach, engagement and follower tracking, plus best times to post and per-network insights, through the API |
| Paid ads | Not offered | An Ads API across nine ad networks, including Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn and OpenAI Ads; the first 500 managed ads free |
| Workflow automation | Visual workflows that start on a schedule, from an RSS feed or a webhook, a new WooCommerce product, a new Notion, Airtable, Framer or Wix item, or a new DM, comment or review — with AI text and image steps — then publish to any channel or reply. An AI agent can trigger them too | DM workflows — messages, waits, conditions and handoffs on DMs, comments and story mentions — plus webhooks |
| Approval workflows | Request approval on any post: pick which brand members review it, they get an email with one-click approve or reject, and the post cannot publish until it is approved. Every decision is logged on the post. Not gated behind a higher tier | Not listed on their pricing or features pages |
| AI copywriting | AI captions from a prompt, with brand voice, tone and length controls, on every plan — plus rewrite, shorten, expand, tone and translate on any caption. Copilot, beside the post editor, also writes or reworks a caption when you ask | No AI writing on their pricing or home page |
| AI image & video | AI image generation in-app — in Copilot, the post composer, campaigns and workflows, from the same credit pool. No AI video generation yet | No image or video generation on their pricing or home page |
| Campaign generation | One prompt becomes a whole campaign — posts, visuals and a schedule across every network. Blog campaigns start from keyword research and write a run of SEO articles, each with an SEO score, for your blog or CMS | Not listed on their pricing or features pages |
| Design tooling | Design Studio built in — templates, brand kit and a full editor in the same tab as the calendar | Not listed on their pricing or features pages |
| SEO content | SEO blog campaigns built in — keyword research finds what people search for, AI writes a run of articles around those keywords, each gets an SEO score with one-click fixes, and they publish to your blog or CMS on a schedule | A Blogs API that publishes articles to WordPress, Wix, Webflow and Shopify — no keyword research or article writing |
| Email marketing | Email marketing built in — unlimited contacts, signup forms and imports, AI-written emails in your brand voice, a block editor, and scheduled sends from your own domain, all in the same plan as your social posts | Send and reply from a connected Gmail or Outlook mailbox (200–1,000 a day by provider) and WhatsApp template broadcasts — no email campaigns to a contact list |
| Link in bio | Bio pages built in — a link-in-bio page at yourname.tool.bio on every plan (each page uses one social profile slot) | Not listed on their pricing or features pages |
| Enterprise access control | Not offered | SCIM, MFA, audit logs and role-based access on Enterprise, from 2,000 accounts |
