post bridge vs Postiz·an honest comparison

Looking for a Postiz alternative?

post bridge and Postiz are the two indie, developer-friendly social schedulers — both offer flat pricing, an API, and an MCP server for AI agents. post bridge is $29/mo for 15 connected accounts with unlimited posts on every plan; Postiz is $29/mo for 5 channels (400 posts/mo), with unlimited posts from $39/mo — and Postiz is open-source, so you can self-host it for free.

Honest framing: Postiz is run by a friend of mine and it's probably the closest tool to post bridge in spirit — indie-built, API-first, agent-ready. If you want open source, use Postiz; I won't pretend otherwise.

What Postiz does well

Open source (AGPL) and self-hostable — run it on your own infrastructure for free, which nothing else in this category offers.
API and MCP server included on every plan, plus a built-in AI 'Smart Agent'.
Unusual channel support: Reddit, Discord, Mastodon, and 14+ platforms total.
Flat tier pricing like post bridge — no per-channel math.

When Postiz is the better choice

If open source matters to you — auditability, self-hosting on your own cloud, avoiding vendor lock-in — Postiz is the pick, full stop, and self-hosting makes it effectively free if you're happy running your own infra. It also covers channels post bridge doesn't (Reddit, Discord, Mastodon). post bridge wins on managed simplicity: more connected accounts per dollar (15 vs 5 at $29), unlimited posts on every plan, and one founder personally answering support instead of maintaining your own deployment.

Why people switch to post bridge

Flat, fair pricing with unlimited posts — every plan includes unlimited posts; plans differ only by connected accounts (Creator $29/mo for 15, Growth $49/mo for 50, Pro $99/mo unlimited). Yearly billing gives 2 months free.
10 platforms from one composer — Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, and Google Business Profile.
Built for developers and AI agents — a REST API and a native MCP server so Claude, ChatGPT, or your own agents can create and schedule posts directly.
Human support from Jack, the founder — post bridge is built and supported by one person, Jack Friks. When you email support, he answers. No ticket queues, no support tiers.
Grandfathered pricing — when prices change, existing customers keep their old price.

I've used post-bridge for over 8 months. It's simpler, faster and the MCP is a really useful feature.

PostBridge is the tool I use to schedule social for every brand I manage. Multiple platforms, multiple accounts, one place. It's affordable. Not "affordable for what it is" - actually affordable. Had a build issue once, working through the API. Messaged support. Fixed instantly. Nothing's broken since. It also teaches you the strategy, not just the scheduling. If you're managing more than one account, use this tool. Thanks for building it, Jack.

I tried several services to handle my social accounts for years. Some were too expensive like Hootsuite, Buffer and Agorapulse, others were too limited... Finally, I subscribed to Post Bridge and I can say I found a gem. No bugs, everything goes out exactly on time, for a fair price. I'm done shopping around. They've got a customer for life.
