Use tool ↗About Postiz
Postiz schedules posts to more than thirty networks — Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Discord, Threads, Bluesky, Reddit, Mastodon and further down the long tail. It adds AI copy and image generation, a calendar, team collaboration and analytics. What separates it from Buffer and Hootsuite is that the whole thing is AGPL-3.0 on GitHub with Docker instructions, and the maintainer states there is currently no functional difference between the hosted and self-hosted versions. Developers get OAuth2, an SDK, a REST API and MCP access, so agents can post through it. Nevo David built and maintains it under the Gitroom banner; it launched as an open-source project in September 2024.

Pros & cons of Postiz
The rare scheduler where the escape hatch is real: same code, AGPL licence, Docker compose, and the maintainer says the hosted build has no extra features. If the price rises or the project stalls you move to your own server. The cost is that you are relying on one maintainer, and the hosted entry plan at $29 is not cheap for five channels.
Pros
- AGPL-3.0 source on GitHub with Docker self-hosting, ~35k stars
- Maintainer states hosted and self-hosted builds are functionally identical
- 30+ networks including Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, Discord and Warpcast
- OAuth2, SDK, REST API and MCP for programmatic posting
- n8n, Make.com and Zapier integrations
Cons
- Hosted Standard is $29/month for only 5 channels and 400 posts
- Effectively a one-maintainer project, so roadmap and support depend on one person
- No company entity or country published
- AGPL is a real constraint if you want to embed it in a closed product
Best for
- Agencies and creators who want an exit from Buffer-style lock-in
- Developers wiring posting into agents over MCP or the REST API
- Teams comfortable running Docker to avoid a subscription
Not for
- Non-technical users who want a polished, supported enterprise product
- Organisations requiring a named vendor with an SLA
Watch out: AGPL-3.0 obliges you to publish source for network-facing modifications — check that before building a product on top of it.
