Instagram API or social wall? Pick by the job.
Juicer is a social media aggregator: multi-network embeds, moderation and a credits-based API across 15+ platforms. Feedframer is an Instagram data API - REST, GraphQL and RSS, with media on our CDN. Different jobs, and the right choice depends on which one you have.

Juicer: aggregator first
Juicer started as a social wall you paste into a site. Connect Instagram (and Facebook, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, YouTube and more), pick a layout, moderate what shows, and mix in hashtags. That product is still the heart of it, and it suits marketers and agencies who want a branded wall without writing a renderer.
They also sell an API: normalised posts from 15+ platforms, webhooks and an MCP server for agents. Syncs spend credits; reads of posts already synced are free.
Feedframer: Instagram data, nothing else
We give you Instagram posts as structured data. Connect a Business or Creator account once and we refresh the token on our servers. You fetch REST, GraphQL or RSS and render it however you like - React, Vue, Next.js, a static site or an email template. Media is hosted on our CDN, so cached pages keep working.
We do not sell a multi-network wall, a moderation queue or hashtag sources. Instagram only, on purpose.
On price: credits and view caps vs a flat $6
Juicer’s free widget plan is free forever for one source, and it caps you at 300 feed views a month with Juicer branding. Lite is $15/mo ($13.50/mo paid yearly) for 3 sources and 5,000 views; Starter is $25/mo for 20,000 views; Pro is $99/mo for 100,000. You can buy extra views at $5 per 10,000.
The API is a separate ladder. Sandbox is free with 30 one-time credits that do not refill. Launch is $59/mo for 400 credits, Builder $99, Scale $499 and Platform Partner from $2,500. That model suits teams syncing lots of sources on a schedule - but it is maths you have to keep an eye on.
Feedframer Free is 1 Instagram account, 6 posts, unlimited API calls - no view meter, no credit balance. Premium is $6/mo or $60/yr for up to 5 accounts, 100 posts each and hourly refresh.
We are not cheaper for every job. A moderated multi-network wall with hashtags is not what $6 buys here; Juicer’s Pro plan is the honest comparison for that brief. Compare like with like.
On the API: breadth vs a narrow, flat one
Juicer’s API is broad. One key covers 15+ networks, feed management, moderation, webhooks and an MCP server. That is a real advantage if your backend needs posts from Instagram and TikTok in one shape.
We are narrower. REST with filtering and pagination, GraphQL with an explorer, and RSS for Mailchimp, Klaviyo and anything else that reads feeds. If webhooks, an MCP server or other networks are on your checklist, Juicer wins that row.

Moving from Juicer?
Only worth it if you are dropping the multi-network features and building your own Instagram UI, or using RSS in email.
- Sign up to Feedframer and connect the same Instagram Business or Creator account.
- Copy your REST, GraphQL or RSS endpoint from the dashboard.
- Replace the Juicer embed with your own fetch and render - or point Mailchimp or Klaviyo at the RSS URL.
- Switch off the Juicer source once the new feed is live.
You lose the widget, the moderation queue and the other networks. You gain flat Instagram pricing, GraphQL and RSS, and CDN-hosted media without a credit balance.
FAQ
Is Feedframer a Juicer alternative?
For Instagram data in your own UI or email, yes - that is where we overlap. For a moderated multi-network social wall, no; stay on Juicer.
Does Juicer have an Instagram API?
Yes. It covers 15+ platforms, with webhooks and an MCP server. Syncs use credits and paid API plans start at $59/mo.
Why is Feedframer cheaper?
We only do Instagram, we do not ship a widget or moderation, and we charge a flat fee instead of credits and view packs. Narrower product, lower price.
Can I use Feedframer without coding?
RSS works in email tools with no code. A website gallery still needs someone to render the JSON. Juicer’s embed is the no-code website route.
Do you refresh Instagram tokens?
Yes - a job on our servers renews tokens before they expire, so you connect once.
