PostSpread vs Postiz
Postiz is open source and covers 34 platforms, but its hosted version has no free plan: after a 7-day trial the cheapest plan is $29 a month for 5 channels. PostSpread is free for 3 channels, and Bloom gives you 15 for $20 a month. If you'd rather run the software on your own server, Postiz lets you; PostSpread doesn't.

Which one fits you
Postiz is the better pick if
- You want to self-host. Postiz is open source under AGPL-3.0, so you can run it on your own servers.
- You publish to Reddit, Google Business, WordPress, Medium or another network PostSpread doesn't cover.
- You want AI video in your scheduler. Every Postiz plan includes some AI video generation and clipping minutes.
PostSpread is the better pick if
- You want a free plan. PostSpread is free for 3 channels with no time limit, API and MCP included.
- You run 6 to 15 channels. Bloom is $20 a month for up to 15; Postiz charges $39 for 10 and $49 for 30.
- You don't want to host anything or register a developer app with each platform, which self-hosting Postiz requires.
Where you can post
Postiz counts 34 because it lists LinkedIn pages and Instagram and TikTok business accounts separately. Some, including Twitch, Lemmy, Medium and WordPress, work only through its API for now.

Verdict
For a creator or small team posting to the big networks, PostSpread costs less: nothing for 3 channels and $20 a month for 15, against $29 to $49 on hosted Postiz. Both include an MCP server on every plan.
Self-hosting Postiz is free, but you first register a developer app with each platform, and Meta, YouTube and TikTok can take weeks to approve one. It's worth that work if you need Reddit, Google Business or the smaller networks Postiz supports.
Postiz prices are from Postiz's own pricing page on 11 October 2026, in USD before tax. Plans change, so check with Postiz before you buy.
