A Postiz alternative for teams who just want to plan and publish

What is Postiz good at?

Postiz is an open-source social media scheduler that you can self-host, with a hosted cloud version.

It's fair to say Postiz does these things well:

• Open source and self-hostable
• Supports many networks
• Active developer community

Self-hosting vs a hosted product

Postiz is open source, and that's its biggest advantage: you can read the code, run it on your own servers and change it. For teams with strict data-residency rules or developers who enjoy running their own stack, that freedom matters.

Running it yourself also means running everything it depends on: typically a web app and API, background workers for publishing, a database, a cache or queue, and keeping it all updated, backed up and monitored. Postiz also offers a hosted cloud version for people who don't want to do that.

Postuva is an independent product with no affiliation to Postiz, designed as a hosted service from day one. There's nothing to install: sign up, connect channels and schedule. Publishing runs on a managed queue with automatic retries, and network tokens are encrypted at rest.

What to consider before moving

• Networks: check that every network you use today is supported (Postuva's list is on the networks page).
• Data: export or note your upcoming scheduled posts; there's no automatic import yet.
• Customisation: if you've modified the open-source code for your workflow, list those changes and check whether they're still needed.
• Cost: compare your server and maintenance time with a flat hosted plan.

Why do people look for a Postiz alternative?

• Not wanting to run Docker, Redis, a database and background workers yourself
• Wanting a simpler hosted product that just works
• Wanting AI tailoring for each network in the composer

Postuva vs Postiz at a glance

What does Postuva do differently from Postiz?

Postuva is deliberately focused: write once, let AI adapt the idea for each network, see the week at a glance, and trust that posts go out at the minute you picked. See pricing or the features overview.

• Nothing to host or maintain
• Publishing queue with automatic retries and clear failure reasons
• Simple plans with a free tier

When should you stay with Postiz?

Switching tools has a cost, so be honest about fit. Stay with Postiz if:

• You must self-host for compliance or data residency
• You want to modify the source code

How do I switch from Postiz to Postuva?

1. Create a free account. Sign up in under a minute; no card required.
2. Connect your channels. Connect the same networks you use today from the Channels page.
3. Recreate upcoming posts. Copy your next week of scheduled posts from Postiz into the Postuva calendar, then pause them in Postiz.
4. Run both for a week. Keep both tools for a week until you're confident, then cancel the one you no longer need.

How to evaluate a Postiz alternative in one afternoon

1. List your must-haves. Write down the networks you post to, how many accounts, who needs access and the one feature you can't live without.
2. Run the same week in both tools. Take next week's real posts and schedule them in the new tool too (paused in one of them), so you compare real work, not demos.
3. Check the failure path. Disconnect one account on purpose and see how each tool tells you. Silent failures are the most expensive problem a scheduler can have.
4. Price it for next year. Add the channels and teammates you expect to have in twelve months and compare the totals.

What a switch to Postuva looks like

Everything happens in one composer and one calendar. You pick the channels, write the idea once, let AI tailor each network's version, and schedule. The recording below is a real, unedited session in the app.
