Postiz and OpenQuok both target agents, calendars, and multi-network posting. You can self-host either stack with no software fee. The choice is not only channel count. It is directory launch, Reddit publish model, AI writing limits, and how you review agent drafts.
Our compare catalog shows Postiz with 30-plus networks, channel-tier cloud plans (5–100), and in-product AI media. OpenQuok bills per workspace, includes kanban and unlimited AI Writer and AI Summarizer on the public matrix, and wires directory extension autofill for PeerPush and Uneed.

What builders compare first
Open source. Both ship AGPL-friendly self-host. OpenQuok also keeps
agent/skills/under MIT so you can copy skill recipes into other agent setups. See self-host OpenQuok.Agents. Both expose CLI, MCP, and API paths. Postiz stresses agentic automation inside the suite. OpenQuok stresses draft → review → publish on calendar and kanban — similar to teams that read Buffer alternatives for teams that approve AI content before posting.
Reddit. On our compare page, Postiz is positioned as server-side Reddit publishing. OpenQuok keeps Reddit as draft or scheduled; you submit on reddit.com when due. That matches the Reddit agent playbook and Reddit scheduling docs.
Directory launch. OpenQuok includes business profiles, variants, and Chrome extension autofill for wired directories. Postiz does not ship that directory layer in our feature matrix.
OpenQuok vs Postiz (short)
Full rows: OpenQuok vs Postiz.
Dimension | Postiz | OpenQuok |
|---|---|---|
Open source | AGPL; cloud or self-host (Postgres, Redis, Temporal on self-host) | AGPL app; MIT |
Cloud pricing | Standard ~$29 · 5 channels · up to Ultimate ~$99 · 100 channels | Workspace tiers; channel bundle per plan — not per-network multiplication on the card |
AI writing (matrix) | AI Writer / Summarizer not listed as unlimited in our table | Unlimited AI Writer and AI Summarizer |
Review UI | Calendar (kanban excluded in our matrix) | Calendar + kanban; client preview links |
Listed channel; server publish in our compare talking points | Drafts you submit yourself; agent + ban-risk guide | |
Directory | Social scheduler focus | Directory submission tool + autofill |
Free builder tools | Photo editor in matrix | Photo Editor + Skill Builder in matrix |
Pricing when you add channels
Postiz Standard at about $29/month includes 5 channels on cloud. Pro at about $49/month includes 30 channels. Ultimate at about $99/month includes 100 channels. OpenQuok Solo is $29/month for a workspace bundle.
At ~30 accounts, Postiz Pro is the familiar cloud tier in our table. OpenQuok may need a higher workspace tier if you outgrow Solo’s bundle. Use the channel slider on OpenQuok vs Postiz, not headline “from $29” alone.
Where OpenQuok diverges
Directory autofill
Store business profiles once. Launch from the dashboard or extension and autofill wired directory forms. You still click Submit on each site. Postiz does not include this path in our compare matrix. Start at directory submission tool.
Reddit: draft-and-handoff vs server publish
Promotion on Reddit punishes unattended automation. OpenQuok does not server-post to Reddit. Agents and humans draft in the workspace; you post on reddit.com yourself, with optional extension helpers.
For workflow detail — subreddit fit, Global mode with Instagram or X in the same campaign, and shadowban vs ban — read AI agents for Reddit: promote without getting banned. On OpenQuok vs Postiz, our Postiz talking point calls out server-side Reddit publishing vs OpenQuok’s handoff model.
Unlimited AI writing in the workspace
When agents pile up drafts, in-dashboard rewriting matters. OpenQuok’s compare row shows Unlimited AI Writer and AI Summarizer. Postiz emphasizes in-product AI media and generation elsewhere in the suite.
Kanban, skills, and review
OpenQuok includes kanban and Skill Builder in the public matrix; Postiz omits those rows. Pair kanban with approval previews when clients sign off on agent copy. Install recipes via Skill Builder or MIT skill files under agent/skills/.
Local DevOps and self-host
Both projects are open source. OpenQuok documents Docker Compose bring-up and a monorepo dev flow in Docker Compose (self-host) and development environment. For CLI device login on your own agent, see how to self-host OpenQuok with CLI device login.
Who should switch (and who should stay)
Choose | When it fits |
|---|---|
Stay on Postiz | You want the widest network list, AI images and video in-product, customer groups, and RSS auto-post. You accept channel-tier cloud pricing or you already run the self-host dependencies. |
Consider OpenQuok | You need directory autofill, separate workspaces with MCP per brand, unlimited in-dashboard AI writing, kanban review, Reddit drafts you submit yourself (see the Reddit blog), or AGPL self-host with MIT skills. |
