Blotato alternative for AI agents
Chirpie vs Blotato
Chirpie is a Blotato alternative for AI agents that already have the words. Blotato bundles AI writing, images, video and voiceovers with publishing. Chirpie generates nothing and publishes what your agent or team wrote, through a REST API, an SDK, a CLI and an MCP server that all work on the free plan.
50 free posts a month with the API and MCP server. Read the docs

How Chirpie and Blotato differ
The question is whether your agent needs help making the post or only publishing it. Blotato describes itself as agent infrastructure for social media marketing and bundles AI writing, image and video generation and ElevenLabs voiceovers with publishing to nine platforms, from $29 a month for 20 accounts. Its credits pay for generation, never for publishing. Chirpie generates nothing; it publishes what your agent or your team wrote, with API and MCP access on a free plan.[3][2]
What Chirpie and Blotato cost at 1, 3 and 10 accounts
Each row prices the cheapest paid plan on each side that covers that many connected accounts, from Blotato's published prices on 28 September 2026.
| Accounts | Chirpie | Blotato |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $9/mo Agent: 300 posts/mo, 1 account Free plan also covers 1 account, at 50 posts/mo. | $29/mo Starter: 20 accounts, 1,250 AI credits |
| 3 | $19/mo Starter: 1,000 posts/mo, 3 accounts | $29/mo Starter: 20 accounts, 1,250 AI credits |
| 10 | $49/mo Pro: 5,000 posts/mo, 10 accounts | $29/mo Starter: 20 accounts, 1,250 AI credits Cheaper than Chirpie at this size: Starter already covers 20 accounts. |
- Blotato's plans: Starter $29/mo (20 accounts, 1,250 credits), Creator $97/mo (40 accounts, 5,000 credits), Agency $499/mo (100 accounts, 28,000 credits). There is no free plan.[2]
- Credits are spent on AI media generation, never on publishing, scheduling or API calls, so publishing volume adds nothing to the bill.[3]
- Blotato sets its own posting caps on some platforms (Instagram 50 a day, for example) and none of its own on X, Threads or Bluesky.[3]

Which networks does Chirpie publish to?
X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Threads, Mastodon, Instagram, Facebook and Telegram today, with Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube and Google Business Profile coming soon. Of those available today, Mastodon and Telegram are the two Blotato does not publish to.
Is Blotato a content generator or a posting API?
Both, by its own description: Blotato calls itself agent infrastructure for social media marketing, says most of its users run it through an AI agent, and bundles AI writing, images, video and voiceovers with publishing. Chirpie is only the publishing half, with scheduling, comments on X, Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, Instagram and Facebook, and analytics.
Can I use Blotato's API or MCP server for free?
No. Blotato has no free plan, and its 7-day trial excludes the API and the MCP server; generating an API key ends the trial and starts the $29 Starter plan. Chirpie's Free plan includes the API and the hosted MCP server, up to 50 posts a month.
Which is cheaper for ten accounts?
Blotato. Its $29 Starter plan covers 20 accounts with no per-post fee, while 10 accounts on Chirpie need the Pro plan at $49 a month. Chirpie is cheaper below that: free for 1 account, $19 a month for 3.
Does Blotato report LinkedIn analytics?
Not yet. Blotato's product facts say analytics cover eight of its nine platforms and that LinkedIn returns no metrics. Chirpie returns likes, comments and shares for LinkedIn posts; LinkedIn publishes no reach figures for personal profiles.
