“Not documented” means we could not confirm it from Mixpost's own public pages. It does not mean the feature is missing. Where we know a capability is absent, the cell says so.

Where planpo.st differs
- You run it. That means your own server, your own upgrades, and registering your own developer app with each social network.
- Mixpost does not attribute revenue to posts, so measuring what content earned is left to you.
- Planpo.st is hosted, so platform approvals, token refreshes and API changes are our problem rather than yours.
Moving from Mixpost
The questions people actually ask before switching, answered from what ships today.
Can Planpo.st replace Mixpost?
For scheduling, publishing and analytics, yes. Planpo.st posts to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, YouTube and Threads from one calendar, with native formats including threads, reels, shorts and stories. Where Mixpost does something Planpo.st does not, the comparison table above says so rather than glossing over it.
Can I schedule posts in bulk like I do in Mixpost?
Yes. Bulk creation takes up to 50 posts in one request, with shared defaults for campaign, accounts and timezone, and each row succeeds or fails on its own so one bad entry does not sink the batch. There is a calendar with week, month and day views for moving things around afterwards.
Can I post the same content to several accounts at once?
Yes. Account groups let you name a set of accounts, then publish to the whole group at once. Content can be overridden per platform, so the LinkedIn version does not have to read like the X version.
Can I see what a post will look like before it goes out?
Yes. Previews show the body after per-platform overrides, the attachments, the character count against that platform's limit, whether links stay clickable, and any warnings, before you schedule or publish.
Does Planpo.st have approval workflows for clients or teams?
Yes, on the Pro plan, including client approvals. Every API key also carries an approval guardrail, so posts created by an AI agent wait in an inbox for a human rather than going live unattended.
Can an AI agent run my social media through Planpo.st?
Yes. There is an official MCP server, hosted or as an npm package, exposing 45 tools covering drafting, scheduling, video and carousel rendering, approvals, content sources and revenue. Claude, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI and ChatGPT are all documented.
Can I find out which posts actually made money, which Mixpost cannot tell me?
Yes, and this is the part no other scheduler does. Every post carries a tracked link, and Stripe, Shopify and RevenueCat connect directly, so revenue and conversions are attributed to the individual post that drove them rather than to the channel as a whole.
Can I import my scheduled posts from Mixpost?
No. There is no importer, so scheduled posts in Mixpost stay there. Reconnecting your accounts and scheduling fresh takes a few minutes, and running both in parallel for a week is the usual way people switch.
Is Mixpost cheaper over time?
On licence cost, yes. A one-time $299 beats any subscription eventually. Add your hosting, your maintenance time, and the work of getting your own API access approved by each platform before comparing.
Choose planpo.st if
You would rather not maintain a server or apply for platform API access yourself, and you want revenue attribution included.
