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. - **Value for money: A.** $299 one time for Pro, under a year of the category's $29 middle plan, though you also pay for a server and get 1 year of updates on 1 domain. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Lite is free to self-host but publishes only to Facebook Pages, Mastodon and X, and needs your own server. - **Features: B.** Calendar, queues, eleven networks, team workflow, inbox, analytics, API, webhooks and white label across Pro and Enterprise. Lite has none of the extras. - **Ease of use: D.** You install and maintain it yourself, which is self-hosting. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Mastodon and Bluesky, plus an API, webhooks and MCP.

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. - You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Facebook, Instagram and X among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
