PlatPost is better for a founder who wants posts written in their own voice, a yes before anything goes out, ad boosts, an inbox, a Managed tier and a community of founders. Postiz is better for a developer or AI-first marketer who wants open source to self-host, 33 networks, a public API on every plan, or built-in AI pictures and video today.
Postiz is an open-source social media scheduler, sold hosted or self-hosted, that drafts, generates and schedules posts to 33 networks with an AI agent, a public API and an MCP server for developers and AI-first marketers. Every Postiz fact below was read on their own site (opens in a new tab) on the date beside it. A fact that was not on their public pages says so. PlatPost’s price is read from the same table as the pricing page.

Standard-plan AI images conflict: the pricing page shows none on Standard, the docs limits page shows 20; the docs say the pricing page is the commercial source of truth. The network count varies by page: the home page says 30+, the docs say 34, the platform table lists 35 rows (Instagram and TikTok twice). The pricing page shows annual prices as a monthly equivalent (USD 23, 31, 39, 79); the docs give the yearly totals (278, 374, 470, 950). Refund rules conflict: the pricing page says within 120 days, the docs say under 60 days, one month at most, once a customer. The trial needs a card, and some paid AI video generators and video clipping are off until the trial converts. The home page says the hosted MCP uses OAuth with no API key; the docs allow an API key or OAuth. The AI agent and the MCP cannot read or reply to comments, so there is no inbox. Agent Media is a separate AI UGC video product billed apart from every plan. The pricing page mentions paid optional app approvals for self-hosters (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, YouTube) without a price. The GitHub README labels the Discord 'devs only' while the docs route cloud support there too. The README lists only 14 networks; the docs table is the fuller list. The self-hosted edition needs a developer app and keys for 25 of the 35 channel types, and its own AI, Polotno and clipping keys.
