post-bridge is built for creators publishing at volume: unlimited posts on every plan, multiple accounts per platform, bulk video scheduling, and a content studio. It ships native MCP support on all tiers, which is unusual at the price. The main thing to know before comparing is that its REST API is a paid add-on at $5/month on top of the plan, while MCP is included.
All post-bridge figures on this page are taken from their public pricing and documentation pages, as of September 2026. Sources are listed at the bottom.

The cheapest plan on each product that covers the given number of connected social accounts.

|---|---|---|
| 1 | $0 Free — 50 posts/mo | $29/mo Starter — 5 accounts, unlimited posts Add $5/mo for REST API access. |

- post-bridge tiers: Starter $29/mo (5 accounts), Creator $39/mo (15), Growth $59/mo (50), Pro $99/mo (unlimited). Posts are unlimited on every tier.
- The REST API is a $5/month add-on on top of the plan. MCP access is included in the plan price — an unusual split, and worth knowing which one your integration needs.
- Some third-party comparison sites still list post-bridge at $7.50 or $9 a month. Those figures contradict post-bridge's own live pricing page, which we have used here.

We would rather you pick the right tool than churn in a month.
Common questions
Does post-bridge charge extra for API access?
Yes. Per their own support documentation, the REST API is a $5/month add-on on top of the plan subscription. MCP access, by contrast, is included in every tier. Chirpie includes both REST API and MCP access at every tier, including the free one.
How many platforms does post-bridge support?
Nine, per their own agents page: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky and Pinterest. Some third-party listings claim ten by adding Google Business Profile; we could not verify that from post-bridge's own site. Chirpie has 8 live today with 6 more coming soon.
Is Chirpie cheaper than post-bridge?
At low volume, yes — Chirpie is free for up to 50 posts a month and $19/month for 3 accounts, against $29/month plus a $5 API add-on. At high volume the answer flips, because post-bridge does not meter posts. If you publish thousands of posts a month, post-bridge will very likely cost less.
Does post-bridge have analytics?
Yes, but their own pricing page labels it beta and lists it from the Creator tier at $39/month rather than on the $29 Starter plan. Chirpie includes analytics on every plan including the free tier.
Is post-bridge open source?
We could not verify any first-party open-source or self-hosted offering. Some third-party pages claim a self-hostable edition exists, but nothing on post-bridge's own site supports that, so we are not repeating the claim. Chirpie is not open source either.
