Postiz vs Publer
Publer is the more complete hosted product: $4 a month billed yearly, a free plan, 500-post batches, competitor analysis, reports and a mobile app. Postiz is open source under AGPL-3.0, self-hostable, reaches 30 or more networks and generates capped AI video. Ownership against convenience.

What is the main difference between Postiz and Publer?
Publer is the more finished tool. Mobile apps, exportable reports, best times to post, competitor analysis, Spintax recycling and 500-post batches, all hosted and supported, starting at $4 a month with a free tier.
Postiz trades that for control and reach. The code is AGPL-3.0 and runs on your own server, coverage is more than double, and it includes a capped AI video allowance. You give up the mobile app, the reports, best time to post, and you own uptime.

Postiz vs Publer questions
Direct answers about how these two tools differ.

Publer for hosted use, at $4 a month billed yearly with a permanent free plan, against Postiz managed plans from $29. Self-hosted Postiz has no licence cost but you pay for the server and the maintenance.
Which supports more networks?
Postiz, at 30 or more against around 13 for Publer.
Does Publer generate video?
No. Publer AI assistant writes captions, suggests hashtags and can create images, but it does not generate video. Postiz does, within a monthly allowance of 3 to 60 clips.
Which has better analytics?
Publer. It offers competitor analysis, best times to post and exportable PDF and CSV reports. Postiz reports on posts but offers none of those three.
Can I self-host Publer?
No. Publer is a hosted product. Postiz is the only self-hostable option in this comparison, licensed AGPL-3.0.
Which is better for a technical team?
Postiz, if owning the deployment matters. It ships an API with webhooks and full source access. Publer also has an API on Business, but the software stays hosted.
Which is easier to get running?
Publer, by a wide margin. You sign up and connect accounts in minutes. Self-hosted Postiz needs a server, a deployment and ongoing updates, and its managed plans start well above Publer entry price. Ease of setup is the clearest thing you trade for ownership.
