Best for a posting API you can host yourself
Postiz is a scheduler with an API, webhooks, MCP and AI tools, sold hosted or as open-source you run yourself. The hosted service has only a 7-day trial and no permanent free plan. Self-hosting means Docker, updates and backups are on you.
Who Postiz is for
- Fits if you are a developer who wants a posting API
- Works for people who prefer to host their own scheduler
Who Postiz is not for
- Skip it if you want a permanent free plan on the hosted service
- Tight if you pick Standard: 5 channels and no team members
- Watch out: self-hosting means handling Docker, updates and backups, and the page says the hosted version gets agent features first
- Watch out: refunds cover up to one month of fees, and annual plans are not refundable
Why Postiz gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$23 a month on yearly billing ($29 monthly) for 5 channels, close to the category's $29 middle. The $0 self-hosted edition needs your own server.
- CFree plan and trialThe self-hosted edition is free, but you run it; hosted has a 7-day trial and no free plan. The listing doesn't say if the trial needs a card.
- BFeaturesCalendar, repeats and delays, plugs, AI, analytics, an API, webhooks and MCP. Standard has no team members.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Hosted is quick to set up, though self-hosting is Docker work.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, with Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Reddit and an API. No phone apps.

Your call
You could make the core of Postiz for yourself: calendar and reports.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $276 a year. Postiz is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Calendar and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn 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. Postiz’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.
