What is a good Postiz alternative?

PostWire. It has a free plan with no trial clock (10 posts a month, no card), charges $9 a month for a whole brand with every network instead of $29 for 5 channels, and ships the REST API, the hosted MCP server and the n8n node on every plan including Free. Postiz remains a strong choice if you want 30+ channels, built-in analytics, AI image and video generation or a self-hosted open-source install.

Does Postiz have a free plan?

Not on Oct 22, 2026. Its pricing page says every plan starts with a 7-day free trial and paid plans start at $29 a month (Standard, 5 channels). PostWire's Free plan has no time limit: 10 posts a month, 1 brand, 2 networks per post, API and MCP included, no card.

How do the prices compare?

Postiz: Standard $29 (5 channels), Team $39 (10), Pro $49 (30), Ultimate $99 (100), about 20% less billed yearly. PostWire: Free $0, Starter $9 (3 brands, every network, 1,000 posts), Pro $29 (10 brands, unlimited posts, client approvals), Agency $99 (50 clients, white label, client portal), 20% off yearly. PostWire counts brands, not channels, so one business with eight networks is one unit.

Can an AI agent post through both?

Yes. Both have a hosted MCP server, a public API, webhooks and n8n and Make integrations. Postiz includes them from its $29 Standard plan; PostWire includes them on Free as well, and lets you make an agent's posts wait for a person to approve, cap an API key's posts a month and restrict it to some networks.

What does Postiz have that PostWire does not?

As read on Oct 22, 2026: 30+ channels including X, Threads, Pinterest, Reddit and Google Business, built-in analytics, AI image generation, AI video clipping, a picture editor, internal and global plugs (auto-repost on engagement thresholds), posting sets, signatures, and an open-source version you can self-host.

Postiz alternative: a real free plan, $9 for every network, API and MCP on every plan

PostWire does what people pick Postiz for, letting Claude, ChatGPT, n8n or a script publish to many networks from one place, and goes further on the way in: a Free plan with no trial clock (Postiz: 7 days, then $29), $9 for a whole brand with all its networks (Postiz: $29 for 5 channels), and the API, the MCP server and the n8n node on Free, with approval rules so an agent never posts something a person has not seen.

What Postiz does well, and where PostWire goes further

Postiz is a serious agentic scheduler: 30+ channels including X, Threads, Pinterest, Reddit and Google Business, unlimited posts on every plan, built-in analytics, AI image generation and AI video clipping, a picture editor, "plugs" that auto-repost or comment when a post crosses an engagement threshold, and an open-source version you can self-host. Its MCP server, CLI, API and webhooks come with the $29 Standard plan. If you need those channels or want to run it on your own server, it is a fine choice.

PostWire starts from the same promise, one idea written as a native post per network and published by you or your agent, and adds what small teams asked for before they paid anything:

A Free plan that stays free. 10 posts a month, 1 brand, 2 networks per post, AI drafts, scheduling, the REST API, the hosted MCP server and the n8n node. No card, no 7-day clock. Postiz has no free plan on Oct 22, 2026: every plan starts a 7-day trial and the lowest is $29.
A whole brand for $9. Starter is $9 a month for 3 brands with every network in each post, 1,000 posts a month, 1 GB files, 3 team seats and a 14-day refund. Postiz Standard is $29 for 5 channels, so a brand on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook and Bluesky already needs Team at $39.
Priced per brand, never per channel. Connect four networks to a brand or ten and the price is identical. Pro is $29 for 10 brands; Agency is $99 for 50 clients. Postiz Ultimate is $99 for 100 channels, which is about 10 to 15 brands with their usual networks.
Agents that cannot post past you. Make posts from an API key, the MCP connector or n8n wait for a person, by network or only when the post has a link, a price or a word from your list. Cap each key's posts a month and the networks it may touch. Approve from the dashboard or an emailed link; a key can never approve itself. Postiz lists webhooks and customer groups; an approval gate for agent posts is not visible on its pricing page.
White label and a client portal at $99. On Agency, client links, approvals and approval emails carry your name and logo, each client gets a private page to connect accounts and approve posts without a PostWire account, and a monthly report with your logo. Postiz Ultimate at $99 lists 100 channels and unlimited team members; white label is not visible on its pricing page.
The long tail of networks developers ask for. Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and full articles to WordPress, Dev.to and Hashnode, next to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook Pages, YouTube and LinkedIn. Postiz covers all of those too and more; the difference is that PostWire connects every one of them on Free.
A creator program that pays 30 %. Post about how you use PostWire and get 30 days of Pro plus 30 % of every payment from the people who sign up through you, for 12 months. Postiz has an affiliate page; its rate is not on the pricing page.

Questions people ask

Is PostWire open source like Postiz?: The MCP server and the n8n node are open source on GitHub and npm; the service itself is hosted. If you need to run the whole scheduler on your own server, Postiz is the one to pick.
Does PostWire post to X?: X is offered through credits because of X's own API cost; see the X page. Postiz includes X in its channel count.
What happens to posts my agent sends on Free?: Each post goes to 2 networks; the AI still writes every network's version and the rest wait behind a lock until you upgrade. The approval rules work on paid plans.
Can I keep Postiz and try PostWire on the side?: Yes. Both connect through each network's official login and neither one removes the other.
What does Starter add for $9?: 3 brands, every network in each post, 1,000 posts a month, 1 GB files, 3 seats, bulk CSV, recurring posts, 25 RSS feeds, 14-day refund. Cancel from the dashboard in one click.
