Upload-Post alternative: start from an idea, not a finished video
Upload-Post pushes a finished video to many networks. PostWire starts earlier: you give it an idea (and the video, if you have one), it writes the post each network rewards, and publishes them — with TikTok on the free plan.
Short answer. PostWire is a free Upload-Post alternative with TikTok on the free plan: 1 business, 10 posts a month, the REST API, the n8n node and the MCP server, no card. Upload-Post's free plan (2 profiles, 10 uploads a month) leaves TikTok out, and its pricing starts at $24 a month for 5 profiles, $50 for 25 (read Oct 23, 2026). PostWire also writes the caption, the YouTube title and tags and the LinkedIn post from one idea, in the same request that publishes — Upload-Post's AI starts from a video and covers YouTube, Instagram and TikTok — and 10 businesses cost $29 a month against $50.

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 |
| Upload-Post Professional | 10 profiles, one per business (Professional includes 25) | $50 |

What “a different post per network” means
Upload-Post 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.
The idea: New video: how I edit a 60-second reel on my phone in 10 minutes. The trick is cutting on the beat before adding any text.
Edit a 60-Second Reel on Your Phone in 10 Min 🎬
Learn how to edit a 60-second Reel on your phone in just 10 minutes — and the one technique that makes it all possible. The secret is cutting on the beat before you add a single word of text, and once you try it, you'll never go back to your old workflow. In this video I walk through my exact mobile editing process, step by step: — How I pick and trim my audio first — Why beat cuts make your text and transitions feel effortless — The order of operations that saves the most time — Tools I use straight from my phone (no desktop, no excuses) This method works whether you're editing in Instagram's native editor, CapCut, or any other mobile app. The principle is the same: rhythm first, everything else second. If you're spending 45+ minutes on a single Reel and it still feels off, this video will show you exactly where time is being wasted — and how to fix it fast. #ReelEditing #MobileEditing #VideoEditingTips Subscribe for more content creation workflows, short-form video tips, and behind-the-scenes editing breakdowns every week.
Most people add text first when editing a Reel. That's why it takes them an hour. I edit a 60-second Reel on my phone in 10 minutes — and the whole workflow hinges on one rule. Cut on the beat before you touch a single word of text. Here's why it works: When your cuts already live on the beat, the energy of the video is locked in. Text, transitions, stickers — they all have a natural home to drop into. You stop second-guessing every clip because the rhythm is already doing the storytelling. Without that step, you're trying to build the walls before the foundation is set. Every text placement feels arbitrary. Every transition feels forced. And you spend 20 minutes moving a caption 3 pixels to the left. My actual 10-minute mobile workflow: 1. Pick the audio and mark the beats (30 seconds) 2. Cut every clip to land on a beat — no text yet (4 minutes) 3. Watch it back once with sound only (1 minute) 4. Add text, captions, and any graphics (3 minutes) 5. Final review and export (1.5 minutes) That's it. Phone only. No desktop. No fancy gear. The biggest shift wasn't learning a new app — it was changing the order of operations. I just posted a full video walkthrough showing every tap and decision in real time. Link in the comments. What's the part of Reel editing that eats up most of your time? #ContentCreation #VideoEditing #ShortFormVideo
