Postiz

What it does

Connect your X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit accounts. Schedule posts, track engagement, recycle evergreen content - all from one interface you control.

Why we like it

Buffer charges $15/month for 8 social accounts and 2,000 scheduled posts. Postiz does unlimited everything, including AI-generated captions, for the cost of a $5 VPS. The catch: setup is 30 minutes instead of 30 seconds.

What it replaces

Buffer, Hootsuite, Later, Sprout Social
