Postiz is an open-source scheduler you can self-host, with an enormous list of channels — from the big networks to niche ones like Discord, Mastodon and Warpcast — plus an AI agent and AI video generation built into the Standard plan. If you want to run the software yourself, or need one of those long-tail channels, it's a genuinely strong option, and self-hosting is free.
fanout is the hosted, no-ops alternative: connect your accounts and fanout turns one draft into a native version per network, with a comments inbox, analytics and AI writing help on every plan starting at $29/month — nothing to deploy, nothing held back for a higher tier.
