Best for a self-hosted social scheduler
Mixpost is a PHP app you install on your own server: free Lite for three networks, or $299 once for Pro, which covers all eleven networks. You run, update and back it up yourself, and Pro includes only a year of updates. If you don't want a server to look after, pick something hosted.
Who Mixpost is for
- Fits if you are comfortable running a PHP application on a server
- Works for agencies that want their own scheduler and their own data
Who Mixpost is not for
- Skip it if you don't want to install and maintain software
- Tight if you pick Lite: only Facebook Pages, Mastodon and X
- Watch out: Pro and Enterprise cover 1 domain and 1 year of updates; a fallback license keeps the version you bought
- Watch out: Mixpost Cloud's monthly prices could not be read, and its plans start with a 7-day trial
- Pricey if you want white label: Enterprise is $1,199 one time

Keep Mixpost, or make your own?
Your call
Mixpost sits between: not beyond making, and not a weekend's work either.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $299, paid once, it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it. Mixpost is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Facebook, Instagram and X among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Mixpost’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
