Hosted Postiz costs money; self-hosted costs time
Postiz has no permanent free tier on its cloud: plans start at $29 a month for 5 channels, or $23 billed yearly. Self-hosting is free under the AGPL-3.0 licence, but the servers, upgrades and platform API changes are yours to handle. Schedule & Chill is hosted and free, with no paid plans sold today.
Both ship an API and an MCP server
Postiz includes its API, CLI and MCP server on every plan, and limits post creation through the API to 90 to 100 requests an hour whatever plan you are on (its docs give both numbers). Schedule & Chill includes a REST API and an MCP server on its free plan, rate-limited to 120 API requests a minute per token.
Postiz covers far more networks
Postiz lists 30+ channels against our 5, and sells a headless, white-label API on Enterprise for SaaS companies. If your product needs many networks, Postiz covers ground Schedule & Chill does not. Open source is a real advantage too: you can read the code and run it yourself.
Where Postiz is strong
- Open source under AGPL-3.0 — free to self-host and keep your data
- Broad coverage: 30+ channels
- API, CLI and MCP server included on every plan
- A headless, white-label API on Enterprise for SaaS companies
Where Postiz falls short
- No permanent free tier on the hosted version; cloud plans start at $29/mo for 5 channels
- Self-hosting is free but the servers, upgrades and platform API changes are yours
- No CSV import in its documentation
- Creating posts through the API is limited to 90 to 100 requests an hour (its docs give both), on every plan
Switching from Postiz
If you self-host Postiz happily, there is no cost reason to switch. If you pay for Postiz Cloud only to post to networks Schedule & Chill already covers, you can do that for free. Moving means mapping your Postiz API calls to Schedule & Chill's REST endpoints.

Postiz vs Schedule & Chill, answered
The questions people actually search before choosing between the two.
Standard is $29 a month for 5 channels, Team $39 for 10, Pro $49 for 30 and Ultimate $99 for 100. Billed yearly they work out to $23, $31, $39 and $79 a month. Enterprise, the white-label API, is priced separately, from $200 a month for 200 channels. Every plan starts with a 7-day trial.
Not on its cloud. Postiz says there is no permanent free tier on the hosted version. The free route is self-hosting the open-source code. Schedule & Chill is free and hosted: 2 connected channels and 500 posts a month.
Both expose a REST API, so the integration shape is similar. Connect your accounts in Schedule & Chill, point your client at its base URL, swap the auth token and remap the post fields. If you self-host Postiz, you can then retire those servers.
The software is free under the AGPL-3.0 licence. Running it is not: you pay for servers and spend time on upgrades and on platform API changes. Whether that beats $29 a month for Postiz Cloud, or a free hosted tool, depends on the networks you need.
Yes. Both ship an MCP server, so clients such as Claude or ChatGPT can schedule posts through either. Postiz includes its MCP server on every plan; Schedule & Chill includes its own on the free plan.
They count differently. Postiz limits post creation through its API to 90 to 100 requests an hour, on every plan. Schedule & Chill limits all API requests to 120 a minute per token, and its free plan publishes up to 500 posts a month.
Schedule & Chill includes bulk CSV import, so you can schedule a batch of posts in one upload. We did not find CSV import in Postiz's documentation, so batch scheduling there means scripting against its API.
Postiz lists 30+ channels. Schedule & Chill publishes to LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon, YouTube and TikTok today; adapters for X, LinkedIn Page, Facebook Page, Instagram and Pinterest are built but still in platform review. If you need a network outside that list, Postiz is the one that covers it.
