comparisons

founder-focused publishing workspace vs bulk scheduling and affordable per-account pricing

Publer is for solopreneurs and agencies who want CSV bulk scheduling and a familiar calendar UI. 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 Publer workflow

  • AI Assist and MCP sit behind Business — no workspace-scoped skills or agent checkpoints on lower tiers
  • Per-account and per-member add-ons that climb before the 10th-account discount applies
  • Workspaces organize accounts — not isolated agent tokens and MCP endpoints per workspace
  • Analytics, API, and MCP require Business — Professional is scheduling without performance reports
  • Publer API and MCP on Business+ only — no Public API or CLI on Free or Professional
  • Approval roles and advanced collaboration start on Business, not the $5 Professional tier
