Metricool alternative: same per-brand idea, and each network's post written for you
Metricool is the closest thing to PostWire's pricing: it charges per brand, and its MCP server publishes on every plan. What it doesn't do is write each network's post for you on the server — through its MCP, your AI assistant writes the text — and its REST API starts on Advanced.
Short answer. PostWire writes each network's post from one idea on the server — over REST, n8n or MCP — and has the REST API on the free plan, where Metricool's starts on Advanced. LinkedIn connects on PostWire's free plan (not on Metricool's), X credits are included in the paid plans instead of +$10 per X account, and 10 brands cost $29 a month against $45.
Every Metricool price and feature here was read on Metricool's own pages on Sept 26, 2026, with the link next to it. If they changed since, their page wins.
PostWire and Metricool at a glance
| PostWire | Metricool | |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay for | One business — every network connects on every plan; paid plans post to all of them at once | Per brand (a business or client), in tiers |
| Cheapest paid plan | $9 a month (3 businesses) | $25 a month (Starter, 5 brands; $20 billed yearly) |
| Free plan | Yes — 1 business, 20 posts a month, 2 networks per post, 3 scheduled at a time, no card | Yes — 1 brand, 20 posts a month, no LinkedIn or X |
| 10 businesses × 5 networks | $29 a month | $45 |
| Writes a different post per network from one idea | Yes — one request writes them all | No — through its MCP, your AI assistant writes the text |
| MCP server for AI agents | Hosted, API key or OAuth 2.1, 21 tools | Hosted, OAuth (official Claude connector), on every plan including Free; publishes |
| n8n | A community node that writes each network's post and publishes it in one step | No node listed |

Where PostWire is better than Metricool
- The writing happens on the server. PostWire's
generate_posts(andPOST /api/generate) returns each network's native version itself, so n8n, Make or your backend get the same result with no AI assistant at the wheel. With Metricool's MCP, your assistant writes each network's text and passes it in. - A REST API from the free plan. Metricool lists API access on its Advanced plans ($67 a month and up).
- LinkedIn and X without the extras. Every network connects on PostWire's free plan, and paid plans include X credits every month. Metricool's free plan excludes LinkedIn and X, and X is +$10 a month per X account.
- Cheaper per brand. 10 brands are $29 a month. Metricool Starter is $45 for 10 brands.
- An n8n node that writes and publishes in one step. Metricool lists no n8n node.
Who PostWire is for
- You want the per-network writing done on the server — useful where there's no AI assistant at the wheel: n8n, Make, your backend.
- You want a REST API from the free plan (Metricool's API is on its higher plans).
- You want TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn on the free plan.
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 |
| Metricool Starter, 10 brands | 10 brands, one per business ($36 billed yearly; X is +$10 per X account) | $45 |
Monthly billing in USD, before tax. Source: metricool.com/pricing/, read on Sept 26, 2026; PostWire's prices come from the code that bills you.
What “a different post per network” means
Metricool publishes the text you send it. PostWire writes each network's version first — a hook for TikTok, a searchable title and tags for YouTube, a longer first-person post for LinkedIn — and then publishes them.

How much does Metricool cost compared to PostWire?
Metricool charges per brand (a business or client), in tiers; its cheapest paid plan is $25 a month (Starter, 5 brands; $20 billed yearly) (read on Sept 26, 2026 from https://metricool.com/pricing/). PostWire charges per business — every network connects on every plan; paid plans post to all of them at once: Free for 1 business (2 networks per post), $9 for 3, $29 for 10, $99 for 50. For 10 businesses on 5 networks each: $45 on Metricool against $29 on PostWire.
Does PostWire post to X or Reddit?
X: yes, as a pay-per-use add-on of the paid plans (X charges for every post): 1 X credit = 1 X post, 10 for a post with a link, +1 per image or video, with X credits included every month on Starter, Pro, Agency and Scale; not on Free. Reddit: not yet, it is waiting on Reddit's API access approval. Also live: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook Pages, YouTube, LinkedIn (personal profiles), Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram and Discord.
Metricool's MCP can publish too — what's the difference?
Both MCP servers publish. With Metricool's, your AI assistant writes each network's text and passes it in. PostWire's server writes the native version for each network itself (generate_posts), so the same result is available from n8n, Make or a plain API call, where there's no assistant to write it.
Is there a free plan and a refund?
Yes. The free plan covers 1 business, 20 posts a month and 2 networks per post — every network connects free — with no card and no time limit. Paid plans can be refunded in full within 14 days of the first payment, through the support form.
