Postiz is an open-source social media scheduling tool supporting 25+ platforms with MCP and CLI support. While the self-hosted option is appealing, it requires you to manage Docker, databases, and infrastructure. Chirpie is fully managed with no self-hosting required, offers 2.5x more posts at a lower price point, includes a real analytics dashboard (not just API endpoints), and is purpose-built for AI agents with dedicated Agent Skills.
