Postiz
Postiz automates your workflow and saves hours every week.
Our take on Postiz
Postiz is a capable open-source social media scheduler with 34+ platform support, AI content tools, and a Temporal-backed scheduling engine.
Good for
- Developers and agencies wanting to self-host social scheduling
- Teams managing many channels across mainstream and niche platforms (Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr, Lemmy)
- Users building automated publishing pipelines via API, n8n, Make, or Zapier
Consider first
- Non-technical users who want instant setup and zero server maintenance
- Solo creators managing only 1–2 mainstream social accounts
- Teams needing polished mobile apps or enterprise-grade support SLAs
Strengths
- Genuine self-hosting eliminates per-seat SaaS costs and gives full data control
- Temporal workflow engine provides production-grade scheduling reliability with retries and crash recovery
- Broader platform coverage than most commercial tools, including decentralized networks (Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr, Lemmy)
- Strong developer ecosystem: REST API, Node SDK, n8n/Make/Zapier, webhooks, CLI, MCP support
Trade-offs
- Operational complexity: 5+ services (app, PostgreSQL, Redis, Temporal, Temporal UI) to deploy and maintain
- Per-platform OAuth setup is time-consuming and sometimes costly (X API, Meta business verification)
- Uneven feature depth across networks; some platforms only support basic text/image posting
- No automated tests in repo increases regression risk for third-party integrations
