How many platforms does Data365 cover versus SocialCrawl?
Data365 covers 7 consumer networks — Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, Reddit, Threads, and Pinterest. SocialCrawl covers 42 platforms and 264 endpoints under one schema, adding YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitch, GitHub, plus commerce, app-store, and review sources Data365 doesn't reach.
- Everything Data365 covers, SocialCrawl covers too — the same Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, Reddit, Threads, and Pinterest calls map across.
- YouTube and LinkedIn — two of the most-requested sources — are absent from Data365 but live on SocialCrawl, so you don't bolt on a second vendor for them.
- Beyond social, SocialCrawl reaches Amazon, the App Store, Google Play, Trustpilot, and more, so one key covers commerce and review data too.
- Data365's 8+ years of focus means real depth on its 7 platforms — if those are all you need, that depth is a genuine advantage.
When your roadmap adds YouTube or LinkedIn next quarter, the platform is already behind the key you already have — no second integration.
Why does network-gated pricing cost you more than credits?
Data365 gates pricing by networks: €300/mo Basic gives one platform, €850/mo Standard gives three, and all seven need the sales-call Custom tier. SocialCrawl credits work across all 42 platforms on every plan, so adding a platform never means jumping a price tier.
- Need Instagram and YouTube and Reddit on Data365's mid plan? You can't — Standard caps at three networks, so a fourth means a sales call.
- On SocialCrawl, the same credits query any platform; you scale on usage, not on how many networks you've unlocked.
- Start free: 100 credits, no card — versus Data365's 14-day trial and a €300/mo floor once it ends.
- Data365's per-credit model is clean once you're in a plan; the friction is the network gate above it, not the metering itself.
You pay for the calls you make, not for the right to touch each platform — so a four-platform project never triggers an enterprise sales call.
Does Data365 have an MCP server for AI agents?
Data365 ships no first-party MCP server — integration is raw REST plus a Postman workspace. SocialCrawl publishes socialcrawl-mcp on npm and the MCP Registry, so your agent in Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf can call social data as a native tool.
- npx socialcrawl-mcp installs in seconds and exposes profiles, posts, comments, and search as agent tools — no REST plumbing to hand-roll.
- Responses arrive normalized with computed fields (engagement_rate, estimated_reach, content_category), so your agent reasons instead of parsing raw JSON.
- Data365's Postman workspace is a real onboarding strength for human developers — it's just not an agent-native surface.
- If you're building with AI agents, an MCP install is the difference between a two-minute setup and a week of wiring a REST client.
Your agent gets a social-data tool it can call directly, in the same session as every other query — one install, not a custom integration.

How fast can you preview real data without writing code?
SocialCrawl ships a Visual Explorer: paste any profile or post URL and see rich cards, then copy the call as cURL or Python — no API key needed to browse. Data365's onboarding is Postman-first, which is fast for developers but still assumes you write a request first.
- 100 free credits land on signup, no card — enough to pull real profiles and feeds and read the normalized schema yourself.
- A non-technical teammate can answer 'can we get this TikTok data?' from a link, before any engineer opens an editor.
- Data365's shared Postman workspace is genuinely well-reviewed for getting developers to a first call quickly — it's a real onboarding asset.
- See your data before writing a single line — the Explorer renders the payload so you scope the integration up front.
From 'never heard of SocialCrawl' to querying live profile data in under two minutes — no integration written yet.

- You need more than the major consumer networksYouTube, LinkedIn, Twitch, GitHub, plus commerce and review data live behind one key — no second vendor for the platforms Data365 skips.
- You're building with AI agentsnpx socialcrawl-mcp returns normalized social objects in Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf — your agent reasons over posts, not raw REST.
- You want credits that span every platformThe same credits query any of 42 platforms on every plan — adding a platform never bumps you into a higher tier or a sales call.
- You want to start free and preview first100 free credits, no card, and a Visual Explorer that renders the payload before you write a line of code.
- Korean-market teamsSocialCrawl ships native Korean copy and hreflang across the site — Data365's surfaces are English-first.
Choose Data365 if:
Data365 is a strong pick for teams whose needs sit squarely inside its 7 platforms and who value deep, long-running collection on exactly those.
- Your scope is the 7 platforms it coversIf Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, Reddit, Threads, and Pinterest are your whole roadmap, Data365's 8+ years of focus on them is real depth.
- You need deep historical and real-time collectionData365's real-time plus historical gathering on its platforms is a genuine strength for long-running social-listening corpora.
- You prefer a Postman-first developer onboardingA clean shared Postman workspace and well-reviewed docs get developers to a first call quickly — a real, often-praised asset.
- You're comfortable with EUR subscription billingIf a monthly EUR plan gated by network count fits your procurement, Data365's model is predictable once you're inside a tier.
Still evaluating? If you only touch the 7 consumer platforms Data365 covers and your Postman setup already works, there's no urgent reason to switch — bookmark this for when your roadmap adds YouTube, LinkedIn, or an AI agent.
