Best Postiz Alternatives (Cloud, No Self-Hosting Needed)

PostFast is the closest fit if you like Postiz's API-first approach but want it fully managed. Pricing is flat per account on annual billing: Starter 10 euros a month (4 accounts), Creator 24 euros (12 accounts), Growth 40 euros (30 accounts, 10 workspaces), Pro 82.50 euros (120 accounts), Enterprise 199 euros (500 accounts). Monthly billing is 12, 29, 49, 99, and 239 euros. There is no infrastructure to maintain: PostFast keeps every platform integration patched, handles token refreshes and API changes, and runs the uptime, so publishing is not your operational problem.

For the API-minded, PostFast keeps what people like about Postiz. The public REST API and MCP server are on every plan, including the 7-day trial, so you can publish from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, n8n, Make, or Zapier, or script your queue against documented endpoints, plus native connectors for ChatGPT and Claude. PostFast is EU-based with euro pricing and dedicated support rather than community forums. It covers 11 networks: Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Bluesky, Threads, Pinterest, Telegram, and Google Business Profile.

Where Postiz still wins, and it is worth stating plainly: Postiz reaches far more channels (30 or more versus 11), it is open-source so you can self-host and own your data, and self-hosting is free. If platform breadth, open-source licensing, or full data control are your priorities, Postiz is the better choice. If you want a maintained service with an API, MCP, EU hosting, and real support instead of a server to run, PostFast is the switch. See the full PostFast vs Postiz comparison.
