@ChiSproutCoffee what is your process ?? Money transferred a week ago still not received - 10 emails and got nowhere just emails with no evidence no proof nothing …. Extremely poor.
@nycsproutcoffee I tried to call. There was no options in your maze of automated routing that fit what I needed to share. My issue does not fit any of your categories. Do better!
@PulseHQ_ Also learning that budget matters when choosing tools! Sprout Social can get pricey quickly especially for smaller teams. Have you found any good alternatives that don't break the bank but still give you solid analytics and scheduling?
@itzjabed@heynavtoor 8ttyuThank you for reaching out! We appreciate your support. For more information on our cases, please visit otterbox.com. Let us know if you have any other questions!
@heynavtoor Thanks for sharing this, Nav! Postiz looks like a game-changer for anyone tired of paying for basic scheduling tools. Self-hosted, fully featured, and open-source? That’s powerful. Appreciate the heads-up!
Buffer charges $6 per channel per month.
Hootsuite charges $199 per month.
Hypefury charges $29 per month.
Sprout Social charges $249 per month.
There's an open-source tool that replaces the entire social media scheduling stack.
It's called Postiz.
Not a basic scheduler. A full AI-powered social media command center that handles scheduling, content creation, analytics, and automation across 25+ platforms. From one dashboard.
Here's what it does:
→ Schedule posts to X, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord, Slack, Dribbble, Telegram, and more
→ AI generates your post content and creates images — Canva-like design editor built in
→ Full analytics dashboard — track what's working across every platform
→ Team collaboration — invite members, comment, review, approve before posting
→ Auto-post, auto-like, auto-comment when you hit engagement milestones
→ Full public API — automate everything with n8n, Make. com, or Zapier
→ Self-host it on your own server — zero monthly fees forever
Here's the wildest part:
The self-hosted version has every single feature the paid hosted version has. No feature gating. No premium tier lockout. No "upgrade to unlock analytics." Everything is included.
Buffer: $6/month per channel. 5 channels = $30/month = $360/year.
Hootsuite: $199/month = $2,388/year.
Sprout Social: $249/month = $2,988/year.
Postiz: $0. Self-hosted. Unlimited channels. Unlimited posts. Unlimited team members. Forever.
