Frequently asked questions
Postally vs Postiz, answered.
No — Postally is a fully managed, hosted product rather than an open-source project. If self-hosting and owning your data matter most, Postiz is an excellent choice. If you would rather skip servers and setup entirely, Postally handles all of that for you.
AI image generation, built-in competitor analysis, and an MCP server so AI agents like Claude can plan and schedule your content. You also get a polished, ready-to-use experience with no infrastructure to run.
Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn (profiles and pages), YouTube, TikTok, Threads, and Bluesky — all from one composer and calendar.
No. Connect your social accounts to Postally and your calendar is ready — most teams are fully moved over in under an hour, with nothing to install or host.
