“Not documented” means we could not confirm it from Postiz'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
- Postiz tells an agent that a post published. It has no revenue attribution, so it cannot tell the agent what the post earned.
- Planpo.st is hosted only. If self-hosting is a requirement, Postiz wins on that point and we will not pretend otherwise.
- Postiz covers more networks. We cover eight, each with native formats such as threads, reels, shorts and stories.
Moving from Postiz
The questions people actually ask before switching, answered from what ships today.
Can Planpo.st replace Postiz?
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 Postiz 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 Postiz?
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 Postiz 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 Postiz?
No. There is no importer, so scheduled posts in Postiz 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 Planpo.st open source like Postiz?
No. The MCP server is MIT-licensed and published on npm as planpost-mcp, so you can read the client that holds your API key. The platform itself is hosted and closed source.
Can I self-host Planpo.st?
No. If self-hosting is a hard requirement, Postiz is the better choice.
Choose planpo.st if
You want the agent to close the loop: publish, then report revenue per post, without you exporting anything.
