Social Fetch vs SociaVault
Both are direct REST APIs with prepaid credits that never expire. The split is unit economics at volume, response consistency, and whether you want a TypeScript SDK and requestId on every call.

Why Social Fetch
Why teams switch from SociaVault.
What changes when your social lookups move to one REST API.
One API for 25 platforms
TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, X and more behind one key and one schema — no separate SociaVault setup per network.
Pricing you can reason about
One completed lookup, one price. Failed lookups aren't billed, so you know how far a balance goes.
JSON in the same request
Fetched live when you ask and returned in the response — ~3.2s on average, no job to poll.
No scraper maintenance
We handle proxies, browser changes, and platform breakages.
Built for production jobs
Run concurrent workloads with explicit statuses and request IDs.
Pay as you go, or save monthly
Start with 100 free credits and no subscription. Pay-as-you-go credits never expire; running lookups every month? A monthly plan gets you lower per-credit rates.
What teams build with Social Fetch
Monitoring, enrichment, research and content workflows — the jobs teams run on SociaVault, as plain API calls.
Monitor brands and competitors
Watch accounts on a schedule and get a signed webhook when something new posts.
Find and vet creators
Check reach and engagement before you reach out.
Turn video into searchable text
Transcribe and index video and audio content so you can find the exact moment you need.
Track public communities
Follow the subreddits, groups, and channels where your audience talks.
Same credit idea — different dollars per thousand
SociaVault packs: Starter $29/6k ($4.83/1k), Growth $79/20k ($3.95/1k), Pro $199/75k ($2.65/1k), Enterprise $399/200k ($2.00/1k). Social Fetch Scale: $379/230k ($1.64/1k). Both say credits never expire. Most endpoints are 1 credit; docs list 5–10+ for heavier analytics — model what you actually call.

Customers
Teams building on Social Fetch.
“Our TikTok and Instagram scrapers broke constantly. Social Fetch took us off that rotation — we ship product again.”
“Transcripts at volume from one endpoint. No broken scrapers for our small team to maintain.”
“Live profile data on every request. We never flag accounts from a stale cache.”
“Heavy concurrent load, no rate limits to negotiate. The rare API I haven't wrapped in retries.”
Which one should you pick?
If the SociaVault list sounds like you, SociaVault is probably the better buy — and that's fine.
Pick Social Fetch if…
- Production volume where $1.64/1k undercuts SociaVault's $2.00–$2.65 pack rates
- Teams that want one { data, meta } envelope and a requestId on every response
- TypeScript SDK + hosted OpenAPI as first-class integration surface
- Standard profile/post/search workloads where one credit means one credit
Pick SociaVault if…
- You need platforms or shop/ad-library routes Social Fetch does not expose
- A $29 Starter pack covers a short project and you will not scale past it
- You already built per-network parsers and do not care about a shared envelope
- Their specific endpoint (e.g. a shop or Linktree route) is load-bearing for your product
Social Fetch vs SociaVault: common questions
Migration, billing surprises, and what changes when you add a second platform.
Is SociaVault cheaper than Social Fetch?
At published packs, usually no for standard one-credit lookups. SociaVault Pro is $2.65 per 1,000 credits; Enterprise is $2.00 per 1,000. Social Fetch Scale is $1.64 per 1,000. SociaVault can win if you only need a small Starter pack for a short project, or if a multi-credit Social Fetch specialty route outweighs their pack rate for your mix.
Do both APIs expire unused credits?
No. Both sell prepaid packs that never expire. That is the main reason they feel similar in procurement conversations.
Which covers more platforms?
SociaVault markets 25+ platforms and niche tools (shops, Linktree-style pages, extra ad libraries). Social Fetch documents 25 marketplace platforms and 264 operations in OpenAPI. Breadth of logos is not the same as depth on TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook — check the routes you actually call.
Does SociaVault have a TypeScript SDK?
No official SDK we could find comparable to Social Fetch's. They provide docs, examples, and a playground. Social Fetch ships an official TypeScript SDK, hosted OpenAPI, and playground tied to the same catalog.
Are failed requests free on both?
SociaVault states you pay for successful requests. Social Fetch does not charge lookup_failed or 503 temporarily_unavailable; completed not_found lookups still bill because the lookup ran. Read both billing FAQs before modeling retries.
The detailed Social Fetch vs SociaVault comparisonHow SociaVault works, where the costs come from, and when to keep it.
Closest peer in the category
Unlike Actors, proxies, or marketplaces, SociaVault is a first-party social API with prepaid credits and overlapping platform coverage. This page is price at volume, response contract, and tooling — not whether either vendor is "real."
Where the per-1k math diverges
At 75k lookups: SociaVault Pro $199 vs Social Fetch ~$124 at Scale. At 200k: $399 ($2.00/1k) vs ~$330 ($1.64/1k). Entry packs favor experiments; Scale undercuts SociaVault once volume grows.
Watch the credit multiplier on "advanced" routes
Most SociaVault endpoints are one credit; docs also list 5–10 for moderate calls and 20+ for analytics. Social Fetch documents multi-credit routes in the API reference — most profile/post/search calls stay one credit.
Envelope, SDK, and support
Social Fetch: { data, meta } on every route, lookupStatus, TypeScript SDK, hosted OpenAPI. SociaVault: docs, playground, 25+ platform claims including niche surfaces (shops, Linktree). No official TypeScript SDK or normalized envelope.
When each API is the better buy
SociaVault when you need a platform or niche route we do not cover, or a $29 pack for a short project. Social Fetch when unit cost at 50k+ matters, you want requestId and SDK, or standard profile/post workloads dominate. Migration is usually a weekend of field mapping.
Bottom line: Same category — Social Fetch wins on published pack rates
SociaVault is a legitimate PAYG social API peer: non-expiring credits, self-serve signup, broad platform claims. Social Fetch is cheaper at every serious pack tier we compared, ships a normalized envelope and TypeScript SDK, and documents multi-credit routes instead of burying them. Stay on SociaVault if you need their niche endpoints. Switch when the invoice is mostly standard profile and post lookups — that is the job our Scale pack is priced for.
