FeedHive alternative: a free plan with the API, and 10 businesses for $29 a month
FeedHive is an AI social media scheduler sold by social accounts, with a 7-day trial and no free plan; its REST API, CLI and Claude Code setup start on its second plan. PostWire writes a different post for each network from one idea and publishes them — from the dashboard, the REST API, n8n or an AI agent — with pricing per business and a free plan with no time limit.
Short answer. PostWire's free plan publishes to 2 networks per post with the REST API and the MCP server in it, with no time limit; FeedHive has a 7-day trial and its plans start at €19 a month month to month for 4 social accounts, with the REST API from Brand at €29. 10 businesses on 5 networks are $29 a month on PostWire against €99 on FeedHive Business.

Where PostWire is better than FeedHive
- A free plan that stays free. 1 business, 20 posts a month, 2 networks per post, with the REST API and the MCP server, no card and no time limit. FeedHive's plans are paid, with a 7-day free trial.
- Paid plans from $9 a month. PostWire Starter covers 3 businesses and 1,000 posts a month. FeedHive Creator is €19 a month month to month (€15 billed annually) for 4 social accounts.
- Per business, not per account. 10 businesses on 5 networks are $29 a month on PostWire Pro. That is 50 social accounts: past Brand's 10, FeedHive's next plan is Business at €99 a month month to month.
- The API and AI agents on every plan. PostWire's REST API, MCP server and n8n node work on the free plan and on Starter. FeedHive's REST API, CLI, Claude Code setup and OpenClaw skill start on Brand, €29 a month month to month.
- A team and approvals from $9 a month. PostWire Starter has 3 seats, and on every paid plan a post can wait until a person approves it. FeedHive Creator has no team members and no approval workflow; both start on Brand.
- No cap on what waits in the queue on paid plans, scheduled up to 365 days ahead. FeedHive Creator holds 30 scheduled posts, up to 14 days ahead; Brand 500, up to 60 days.
- Bluesky, Mastodon and Telegram published directly, next to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook Pages, Discord and X. FeedHive's 10 networks do not include those three.
Who PostWire is for
- You want a free plan to build on with the API, n8n or an AI agent, without paying for a second plan to get the API.
- You post for several businesses: 10 businesses × 5 networks is $29 here, against €99 a month on FeedHive Business.
- You want each network's post written for you from one idea, and published to Bluesky, Mastodon or Telegram too.
10 businesses on 5 networks each: the monthly bill
An agency or a freelancer with ten clients, each on five networks, about 20 posts per client a month. That is 50 connected accounts, which is where the pricing unit decides the bill.
| Tool | How it's counted | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| PostWire Pro | 10 businesses fit in Pro (10 businesses, unlimited posts, fair use 10,000 a month; 10 × 20 posts × 5 networks = 1,000) | $29 |
| FeedHive Business | 10 businesses × 5 networks = 50 social accounts: Brand includes 10, so it takes Business at €99 a month month to month (100 accounts, 50 workspaces) | €99 |
Monthly billing in USD, before tax. Month-to-month price as FeedHive's pricing page showed it on Oct 17, 2026, in euros; Business is €69 a month billed annually (€828 a year). Source: www.feedhive.com/pricing, read on Oct 17, 2026; PostWire's prices come from the code that bills you.
What “a different post per network” means
PostWire writes each network's version from one idea in one request — a hook for TikTok, a searchable title and tags for YouTube, a longer first-person post for LinkedIn, a short community message for Discord — and then publishes them. The same request works from the dashboard, the REST API, the n8n node or an AI agent.
The idea: Our invoicing app just shipped dark mode. 412 users asked for it, and it took us 3 weeks because we redid every chart.
Dark Mode is Live 🌑 | Why It Took 3 Weeks to Ship
Dark mode is finally live in our invoicing app — and 412 users asked for it before we built a single pixel. #darkmode What looks like a simple color switch was actually a full 3-week rebuild. Every chart, every data visualization, every graph had to be redesigned from the ground up to work in a dark environment. We weren't going to ship something that half-worked. In this video, we walk you through: — Why dark mode in a data-heavy app is way harder than it sounds — How we prioritized this based on real user requests — The chart redesign process, color contrast decisions, and accessibility checks — What we'd do differently next time If you're building a SaaS product or thinking about shipping dark mode yourself, this one's for you. The stuff users never see is usually the hardest work. #buildinpublic #saasdesign Timestamps: 0:00 — Why 412 people finally convinced us 1:30 — The chart problem nobody warned us about 4:00 — Our redesign process 7:20 — The final result
412 users asked for dark mode. We shipped it last week. Here's the part that surprised us: It took 3 weeks — not because dark mode is hard, but because we have charts. Every chart in our invoicing app had to be rebuilt from scratch. Colors that look clean on a white background? They're invisible or eye-straining on dark. Contrast ratios that pass accessibility standards in light mode? Fail completely in dark. So we didn't just flip a CSS variable and call it done. We redesigned every data visualization. Every axis label. Every tooltip. Every legend. Three weeks of work that most users will never consciously notice — and that's exactly the point. We track feature requests in a dead-simple spreadsheet. When dark mode crossed 400 votes, it jumped straight to the top of the queue. No roadmap committee. No prioritization framework. Just 412 real people saying the same thing. The lesson we keep relearning: Listening to users is easy to say and easy to fake. Actually doing it means sometimes rebuilding things you thought were finished. We think that's the job. If you're building a product right now — how do you decide when a feature request has earned its spot on the roadmap? #BuildInPublic #SaaS #ProductDevelopment
