The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. No phone apps. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Agencies that want to host their own scheduler and data
- Developers comfortable running a PHP application on a server

Worth knowing

- Free Lite publishes only to Facebook Pages, Mastodon and X; other networks need Pro.
- Pro and Enterprise include 1 year of updates and cover 1 domain; the page says a fallback license keeps the version you bought.
- Mixpost Cloud's monthly prices could not be read; every cloud plan starts with a 7-day trial.

44/49

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
