What each one costs

When Postiz is the better choice

We would rather you pick the right tool than churn out of ours in a month. These are real reasons to choose Postiz.

  • Postiz is open source and self-hostable. If you want to own your data outright, run it on your own infrastructure, audit the code, or modify it, that is a decisive advantage no hosted product can match — including us.
  • Self-hosting means no per-channel or per-seat cost at all beyond your server, which is compelling at high channel counts.
  • Their integration list is broad and community-extended, and the project moves quickly.
  • Disclosure: our publishing worker is built on Postiz, which is licensed under AGPL-3.0. We think highly of the project.

Where we win

Every line here is checkable against the pricing pages linked above.

  • A free hosted plan with 5 channels — Postiz's hosted tier starts at $29/month with a 7-day trial.
  • Nothing to deploy, patch or back up.
  • Video-aware validation and a built-in video editor rather than scheduling alone.

Built for people who post video

Most schedulers, Postiz included, treat a Reel as a file to upload. The difference shows up the first time a post fails at 6am.

It checks your clip before it queues.

Duration, file size and aspect ratio are validated against each platform's rules. A clip that is too long is a blocking error; the wrong aspect ratio is a warning. You find out before the post fails, not after.

One composer, every channel.

Write once, adapt per platform, and queue it all from a single calendar. Analytics come back into the same view — including best-time-to-post, once you have published enough history for it to mean anything.

Your AI agent can draft, but not publish.

Connect Claude or any MCP client on the free plan — 67 tools, including timeline editing. Publishing is preview-then-confirm: an agent proposes a post and it only goes out when you confirm.

Questions people actually ask

Is VideoToReels related to Postiz?

Yes — our publishing worker is built on Postiz, which is open source under AGPL-3.0. We are a different product with our own editor, analytics and MCP surface, but credit where it is due.

Should I self-host Postiz instead?

If you have the ops capability and want full data ownership, self-hosting is genuinely a good option and cheaper at scale. If you would rather not run a server, use our free plan.

What does Postiz cost hosted?

Their hosted Standard plan was $29/month for 5 channels as of 2026-08-17, with a 7-day trial and no free tier.
