What Postiz does

Postiz is an open-source (AGPL-3.0) social media scheduling tool that can be self-hosted for free or used as a paid cloud service. It supports 20+ networks including niche ones like Bluesky, Mastodon and Warpcast, and bundles AI text/image/video generation plus an MCP server.

What you get: Self-hostable open-source core (AGPL-3.0), AI text, image and video generation, MCP server for AI-agent integration, Support for 20+ networks including niche ones.

Typical jobs: Developer or indie hacker wanting a free self-hosted scheduler; Team needing Bluesky/Mastodon/Warpcast support that incumbents lack; Agency wanting AI content generation plus an MCP server for agent workflows.

Worth knowing: Youngest tool in this set (started September 2024) but fastest-growing by momentum, reported $145K MRR and 25-30k GitHub stars as of mid-2026. Good long-tail pick for 'open source' and 'self-hosted' comparison content.

What users complain about: Deployment can be finicky on bare Node setups; multiple users switched to the official Docker image after issues. (Reddit r/selfhosted (per Superframeworks case-study coverage))
