Postmately vs Postiz
Updated 6 November 2026
Postiz is an open-source, agent-ready scheduler: MCP, CLI and API on every plan and 30+ networks, from $29 a month. Postmately is also built for agents, but its focus is making the content: a month plan, carousels and videos from your website.

Where Postiz is stronger
- Open source and self-hosting. You can run Postiz on your own server.
- Channel coverage. More than 30 networks, including Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.
- Developer tooling. CLI, webhooks and integrations such as n8n next to MCP.
- Unlimited posts on every plan.
Where Postmately is stronger
- The content gets made. Paste your website: Postmately writes a month plan and renders branded carousels and short videos for it.
- Agents get finished content. MCP tools make a carousel from a website (20 credits) or a branded video (60 credits), so the agent does not need a separate image or video stack.
- A free plan with real output. No card and no trial clock: you see a plan, 3 carousels and a video for your own business.
- A team if you want one. From $179/month our team makes the posts and a person checks them, so no social media hire is needed.
Pricing: what the difference pays for
Postiz prices by the number of channels and includes a monthly allowance of AI images and videos. Postmately prices by credits for finished carousels and videos, with up to 50 channels on the $59 plan. If your agent already produces the media and you mostly need a reliable publisher, Postiz is a strong choice.
Which one to choose
| If | Choose |
|---|---|
| You want open source or self-hosting | Postiz |
| You need Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn today | Postiz |
| Your agent already makes the images and videos | Postiz |
| You want the plan, carousels and videos made from your website | Postmately |
| You want to try it free without a card | Postmately |
| You may want a team to take over later | Postmately |
Bottom line
Postiz is the better publisher for developers who bring their own content and want open source. Postmately is the better fit when you want the content itself made, by the product or by our team.
If you are unsure, start with the free plan: paste your website and get a content plan, 3 carousels and 1 video without a card.
