Aidelly limits to know
- Publishes to: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Google Business Profile, Mastodon[45].
- Self-hosting: the Aidelly docs describe no self-hosted version, so Postiz stays the option if you must run the stack yourself.
- Team members: Launch Not included, Scale Up to 8, Agency Unlimited[18].
- White-label: Agency plan only[28].
- Bulk content creation: Launch Not included, Scale Up to 30 days, Agency Up to 30 days[46].
Who should pick which?
- Postiz
- Stay on Postiz if owning the software matters: it is open source and self-hostable[2]. It also suits builders, since it includes the public API and webhooks on every plan[32] and a hosted MCP server on every plan[37], and teams get unlimited team members on Team, Pro and Ultimate[17].
- Aidelly
- Pick Aidelly if a post must not go out before someone signs off: it has a workspace switch that holds members' posts until an owner or admin approves them[47] (team approvals on the Scale and Agency plans[23]) and a magic link clients use to review and approve posts without logging in[48] (client approval links on the Agency plan[49]). It also has one inbox for comments and DMs[50] and a unified analytics summary across every connected account[51].
- Post Bridge
- Pick Post Bridge if you work alone and want posting plus API access included on Marketer[34] and an MCP server[39]. It charges a flat monthly price set by the number of connected accounts[6], and it lists one person on Marketer, with team invites on Operator[19].
How do you move from Postiz to Aidelly?
- Postiz export of scheduled posts: No export documented; List Posts API by date range[44]. If you have a developer, that List Posts endpoint can pull the queued posts for a date range into a spreadsheet; otherwise write them down by hand. Either way, the posts are recreated in Aidelly.
- In Aidelly, set up one workspace per brand or client[55]; plans include 2 workspaces on Launch, 8 on Scale and unlimited on Agency[13].
- Connect each social account in its workspace, or send the client a connect link that lets clients connect their own accounts[56], available as client connect links on the Agency plan[57]. Check your channels against the list Aidelly publishes to: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Google Business Profile, Mastodon[45].
- Load the posts with Bulk Fill, which turns a CSV into posts and schedules them after a preview[58]. That needs bulk content creation on the Scale and Agency plans[46], and the CSV header row has to match Aidelly's template exactly[59]. On Launch, bulk content creation is not included[60], so recreate the posts by hand.
- Replace Postiz preview links (preview links where clients comment, without an approval gate on publishing[22]) with an actual hold: turn on Team Approvals, a workspace switch that holds members' posts until an owner or admin approves them[47], available as team approvals on the Scale and Agency plans[23]. For clients, add a magic link clients use to review and approve posts without logging in[48], available as client approval links on the Agency plan[49].
- Move scripts and agents from the Postiz API and MCP server to a REST API on every plan, limited to 60/20, 240/90 and 480/180 read/write requests per minute on Launch, Scale and Agency[33], plus a hosted MCP server that exposes the full public API as tools[38].
- Run both tools until the first Aidelly posts have published, then cancel Postiz Cloud or shut down your self-hosted install.
What Postiz does better
Postiz is open source and self-hostable[2], which matters if your data has to stay on your own servers. Its analytics docs count the platforms it publishes to (analytics on 10 of its 34 platforms[43]), a longer list than Aidelly publishes to. It includes the public API and webhooks on every plan[32] and a hosted MCP server on every plan[37], and paid team plans give unlimited team members on Team, Pro and Ultimate[17]. If you need self-hosting or a long tail of networks, stay on Postiz.
Questions about switching?
How much does Postiz cost compared with Aidelly?
Postiz Cloud costs from $29 per month on Standard[1] up to $99 per month on Ultimate[61], in flat monthly plans set by the number of channels[4]. Aidelly starts at $29/mo billed annually on Launch, or $39/mo billed monthly[3]; its top self-serve plan costs $279/mo billed annually on Agency, or $349/mo billed monthly[62].
Can I self-host Aidelly like Postiz?
Postiz is open source and self-hostable[2]. The Aidelly docs describe no self-hosted version, so if self-hosting is a requirement, Postiz is the better fit.
Does Postiz have post approvals?
Postiz has preview links where clients comment, without an approval gate on publishing[22]. Aidelly has a workspace switch that holds members' posts until an owner or admin approves them[47], available as team approvals on the Scale and Agency plans[23].
Can I move my scheduled Postiz posts to Aidelly?
Not as a ready-made file, so the posts are recreated. Postiz export of scheduled posts: No export documented; List Posts API by date range[44]. Put them in a CSV and load them with Bulk Fill, which turns a CSV into posts and schedules them after a preview[58]. That needs bulk content creation on the Scale and Agency plans[46].
