Postiz: AI-Powered Social Media Scheduling for 30+ Platforms
Open-source automation tool that replaces Buffer, Blotato, and pricey SaaS. Schedule posts to X, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and 25+ more. No vendor lock-in. Full data control. Deploy it yourself or let Opsily manage it.
Postiz is an open-source, self-hosted social media scheduling and automation platform built for creators, developers, and agencies who want full control over their data and workflows.
Unlike Buffer or Hootsuite, Postiz lives on your server. You own it completely. Unlike Blotato, it's free to use at any scale (you only pay for your infrastructure).
The core features
Schedule posts across 30+ platforms: X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Pinterest, Reddit, Discord, Bluesky, Mastodon, Slack, Telegram, and more.
AI-powered content generation: text drafting, image creation, video generation, and agentic automation via Claude or ChatGPT APIs.
Team collaboration: unlimited team members, role-based access, approval workflows, and customer account management.
API and webhooks for developers: build custom posting workflows, integrate with n8n or Make.com, automate your publishing pipeline.
No vendor lock-in: export your data anytime. Your posts, your analytics, your rules.

Postiz vs. Buffer: Real cost comparison
Running Postiz on your own server sounds cheap: just Docker on a EUR 10 VPS, right? The real picture is more complex.
What you pay
Infrastructure: EUR 10-30/mo for a VPS that can handle 1-2 team members scheduling across 30+ platforms. Add more for higher throughput.
Backups and monitoring: You must set this up. Encrypted nightly backups, monitoring alerts, disaster recovery - or accept data loss risk.
SSL certificates: Automatic with Opsily. Manual setup and renewal on DIY.
Your time: Initial setup (2-4 hours), ongoing troubleshooting, applying security patches, updating Postiz when new versions release, handling server downtime.
The hidden cost
One server crash at 2am during a major campaign launch and you lose 8 hours of revenue plus credibility. A security patch that breaks your deployment and takes 4 hours to fix. A disk full warning because backups weren't rotated.
If your time is worth $50/hr and you spend 3 hours per month on Postiz infrastructure, that's EUR 150/mo in opportunity cost. Add that to your VPS bill and managed Opsily looks like a bargain.
When self-hosting makes sense
You have strong DevOps skills and want to learn. You need data residency in a specific region not offered by managed providers. You're automating Postiz deployments as part of a larger platform. Budget matters more than your time.
Blotato is AI-first. Postiz is open-source-first. They serve different needs.
Blotato ($29-499/mo): Best for creators who want AI-generated content at scale. Excels at video, image, and voice generation. Flat pricing by plan size. More expensive for small teams; better economics at scale.
Postiz (free + self-hosting or $29-99/mo SaaS): Best for developers, automation teams, and anyone who values data control and multi-platform flexibility. Agentic AI integrations (Claude, ChatGPT) rather than native generation. No vendor lock-in - you can export everything.
If you're a solo creator focused on TikTok and Instagram, Blotato might win on speed. If you manage multiple brands across 10+ platforms and want custom workflows, Postiz wins. Opsily's managed Postiz splits the difference: Postiz's flexibility with Blotato's "no-DevOps" convenience.
Trust, compliance, and data control
Open-source doesn't mean insecure. AGPL-3.0 means thousands of eyes audit the code. Opsily adds compliance and infrastructure hardening on top.
GDPR Compliant
EU data residency. Your social content and team data never leave German servers. Full compliance for EU customers under GDPR Article 28.
Encrypted Backups
Nightly backups encrypted at rest. 30-day retention. Automatic restore testing to ensure backups actually work.
Open-Source Auditability
Full source code available (AGPL-3.0). Run security audits. Deploy exactly what you want. No closed-source black boxes.
99.9% Uptime SLA
Redundant infrastructure. Automatic failover. 24/7 monitoring. Uptime credits if we miss the target.
