comparisons

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

OpenPost is for solo founders who want one composer, account-specific versions, and optional self-hosting. Publer keeps per-account pricing low, packs bulk CSV scheduling, recycling, and multi-workspace collaboration into one dashboard.

Publer

  • > AI Assist and Publer MCP on Business connect drafting to supported AI clients
  • > Free tier plus Professional from $5/mo per account with a free 10th account discount
  • > Unlimited workspaces on paid plans with roles and approvals on Business
  • > CSV bulk upload, RSS automations, Link in Bio, and recycling for high-volume schedulers
  • > Approval workflows and permission levels on Business for client-ready queues

Typical OpenPost workflow

  • Scoped MCP tokens (read vs full) — no skill builder or per-workspace OAuth apps for external agent checkpoints
  • Monthly scheduled-post caps (100–25,000) and account limits on every hosted tier
  • Organization workspaces — not agent workspaces with separate MCP endpoints and OAuth apps per automation context
  • Post quotas and a ten-network catalog when you need broader agent-native tooling and kanban review
  • Team roles only on Team and Agency — solo tiers lack collaboration and approval gates
