comparisons

founder-focused publishing workspace vs visual-first scheduling

Hopper HQ is for small businesses and creators in a browser calendar. OpenPost combines cross-platform adaptation, built-in image and video editors, analytics, and agent paths via API, CLI, and MCP on hosted or self-hosted deployments.

OpenPost

  • > HTTP API, CLI, and MCP tokens let assistants schedule while social keys stay encrypted in OpenPost
  • > Hosted plans from $15/month plus a $0 software-fee self-host option under AGPL
  • > Workspaces keep brands and clients separated with plan-based workspace counts
  • > Built-in image and video editors, analytics, inbox, and ten-network publishing in one founder workspace
  • > Same workspace rules from HTTP API, CLI, and MCP on hosted and self-hosted deployments
  • > Account-specific versions and destination previews before content leaves the composer

Typical Hopper HQ workflow

  • AI assistant lives inside Hopper HQ — no skills, workspace MCP, or Public API for external agents
  • Per-account pricing that climbs in a straight line as you connect more profiles
  • One account pile for every brand, client, and channel
  • Grid planner, link-in-bio, and hashtag bundles when you mainly need agent-native scheduling
  • No Public API, CLI, or MCP server for editor or terminal agents
  • Dashboard-first publishing — agent drafts cannot land as reviewable checkpoints without the Hopper HQ UI
