Ocoya vs Postiz
Open-source scheduling you can self-host.
Postiz is the only genuinely open-source option here: AGPL-licensed, self-hostable, with a public API, webhooks and an official MCP server. If you want to own the deployment, nothing on this page competes — run it on your own box and the licence costs nothing. What you take on is the deployment: upgrades, backups and uptime are yours. Ocoya is hosted, and the difference in the product is the production layer — the Design Studio, campaign generation from one prompt, and an inbox that covers DMs and mentions rather than post comments.
Where each one is stronger.
Every claim in the Postiz column comes from a page they publish, checked in September 2026. Rows where they are ahead are marked as such.
| Capability | ||
|---|---|---|
| Source & hosting | Closed source, hosted by us — nothing for you to run | AGPL-3.0 and self-hostable — run it on your own server and pay only for the server |
| Entry price (hosted) | $29/mo on Starter — 1 user, 5 social profiles, 300 AI credits | $29/mo on Standard — 5 channels, no team members, 3 AI videos a month |
| Team seats | 1, 5 or 20 users depending on plan — seats are part of the plan, not an add-on | Unlimited team members from the $39/mo Team plan |

| AI image & video | AI image and AI video generation in-app, from the same credit pool | AI image generation, and AI video capped at 3–60 clips a month depending on plan |
| Campaign generation | One prompt becomes a whole campaign — posts, visuals and a schedule across every network | Posts are drafted and cross-posted one at a time |
| Design tooling | Design Studio built in — templates, brand kit and a full editor in the same tab as the calendar | An advanced picture editor |
| Networks | 14 integrations: Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube Shorts, Google Business, TikTok, Discord, Dribbble, Kick and WooCommerce | 30+ by their own count, and the widest here — the usual ten plus Mastodon, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Reddit, Twitch, Nostr, Warpcast, Lemmy, VK, MeWe, Dribbble, WordPress, Medium, Dev.to and Hashnode |
| Unified inbox | DMs, comments and mentions from every connected profile, with assignment, open/resolved statuses and internal notes | Comments on posts — no unified DM and mentions inbox |
| Workflow automation | Visual workflows automate publishing and replies, and can be triggered by an AI agent | Webhooks, API and RSS auto-posting — plumbing rather than a builder |
| MCP / AI assistant control | mcp.ocoya.com — an OAuth-secured MCP server covering the whole product: create, design, schedule, run workflows and switch brands. Included on every plan | An official MCP server with 11 tools, reachable over Bearer auth or OAuth, self-hosted or cloud |
| Analytics | Post and profile performance in-app | Analytics included on every plan |
| Operations & support | Hosted and monitored, with a status page and a help centre | Self-hosting means upgrades, backups and uptime are yours; the cloud plans are supported |
