Question and approach

Answers “postiz vs buffer” for US buyers. Compares Buffer, Postiz Cloud and self-hosted Postiz separately; gives conditional recommendations, a monthly USD cost table for 3/10/30 accounts, hosting responsibilities, network/format checks, automation, collaboration and reporting evaluation, migration guidance and five FAQs. Discloses Postbase authorship and uses published evidence rather than claiming hands-on testing. Postbase appears as a qualified alternative with explicit limitations.

Every Postbase fact stated

• Postbase is a social media scheduler offering hosted plans priced by capacity, client workspaces and scheduling through AI assistants.
• Team: $39/month, 15 channels, five people, three workspaces.
• Pro: $59/month, 50 channels, 15 people, five workspaces.
• Channels and people are shared across workspaces.
• These plans include an MCP server and API; X posts containing links have a separate monthly allowance.
• Each workspace has its own channels, calendar, media and team.
• Formal client approvals are not available yet; the published process is reviewing drafts and scheduling afterward.
• Its hosted MCP server lets assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT draft and schedule, with posts visible on the calendar.
• Listed networks: X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon, TikTok and YouTube. Instagram, Facebook and Threads are coming soon.
• TikTok posts currently publish privately pending public-posting approval.
  All facts were verified on linked Postbase website pages as permitted by the brief. The knowledge base was fetched but its unconfirmed entries were not treated as factual authority.

Implementation and validation

Adds only content/blog/postiz-vs-buffer.md. Studied best-buffer-alternatives.md, bluesky-vs-mastodon-vs-threads.md, lib/blog.ts and the blog route using read_repo_file. Reuses existing layout, metadata, BlogPosting and FAQPage generation. Actual parser/renderer validation passed: 126 lines, two tables, five FAQs, nine section headings, post discovery, title/description lengths and URL syntax. Independently checked Buffer volume arithmetic, including $135 Essentials/$195 Team at 30 accounts. No new dependencies or styles. Full application build not run.

Open questions

• Recheck published prices, network availability, TikTok visibility and client-approval status before publication.
• Postiz approval enforcement and comparable reporting performance were not verified; the article asks buyers to test rather than asserting parity or a winner.
• Self-hosting operating costs depend on deployment and labor; no universal savings or break-even claim is made.
• No root AGENTS.md exists locally; followed the user's supplied instructions.
