ShareThis and AddThis are drop-in bookmarking and social link-sharing scripts you can add to an existing website.

I don't know which one I should use.

What are the cons and pros of each?

both doesn't seem to support iframe buttons, am I right?

I'm open to alternatives.

thanks!

AddThis is better than ShareThis if you care about the API.

AddThis: Detailed api displayed in an aesthetically pleasing way.
ShareThis: Hard-to-look-at developer page with not a whole lot on it.

In short, you will have an easier time with AddThis over ShareThis. Especially if you want to customize details.
