Aidelly vs Postiz

No, Aidelly is closed-source managed SaaS. The trade-off is that you offload all infrastructure, OAuth-app registration, and platform-API drift to Aidelly. If full code access and self-hosting are non-negotiable, Postiz is the better fit. If you want to ship campaigns without maintaining a stack, Aidelly is the better fit.

Yes: on the Agency plan, Aidelly runs on your own custom domain with full white-label branding (logo, name, colors, emails, social previews). The infrastructure is still Aidelly-managed; only the visible brand is yours. Postiz self-host gives you the infrastructure too, in exchange for operating it.

Aidelly ships a Model Context Protocol server that exposes every dashboard action (create post, schedule, list connections, analytics queries) as MCP tools. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI agent can drive Aidelly natively: schedule posts, draft from a brief, pull analytics, manage automations. Verify Postiz's current MCP / agent-integration roadmap on their documentation.

Aidelly: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Bluesky, Threads, Pinterest, Google Business Profile, Mastodon (11 platforms). Verify Postiz's current platform list on postiz.com.

Yes: the Aidelly Agency plan includes white-label branding (logo, name, colors, emails, social previews), a custom domain you control, branded client reports, agency-wide watermarks, per-workspace AI credit allocation, and a workspace admin role. Postiz's open-source nature means you can theme the UI yourself if you self-host; verify white-label features on Postiz Cloud's higher tiers.

We deliberately do not publish Postiz's prices here because vendor pricing changes faster than any comparison page can track it, so check postiz.com for current numbers. What is worth comparing is the *shape* of the pricing. Most tools in this category charge per seat, per social account, or per client workspace, so the bill grows as your team or client list grows. Aidelly is flat-priced, and the top plan includes unlimited client workspaces, which is what changes the maths for agencies past roughly ten clients. Model your own cost at three times your current client count before committing to any annual plan, ours included.

Aidelly runs a 7-day free trial of the full product and does not offer a permanent free plan. Check postiz.com for whether Postiz currently offers one, because free tiers in this category appear and disappear regularly. If a permanent free plan is non-negotiable, Buffer and Metricool both have one today. Our trial is the full product rather than a feature-limited sandbox, so you can connect real accounts and publish a full week before deciding.

Postiz is strongest for technical teams or privacy-sensitive orgs that want full code access, self-hosted data ownership, and a customizable open-source scheduler they can extend themselves. Aidelly is built for non-technical teams and agencies that want a complete managed product (inbox, keyword DMs, white-label, competitor spy, and MCP), without self-hosting. The structural difference is that Aidelly is agent-operated: the same actions you take in the dashboard are exposed over a public API and an official MCP server, so an AI assistant can draft, schedule, route approvals, and pull analytics across all 11 networks without a human clicking through.

Moving from Postiz is manual. There is no one-click import. In practice switching means exporting your scheduled posts and re-queueing them, which is one to two hours of calendar admin for most teams. Your posting schedule does not need to pause while you do it. Reconnecting client accounts is the part teams brace for and it is the easy part: clients authorise their own profiles through a link, so you never collect or store anyone's password. Run both tools in parallel for a week before cancelling Postiz.

When your requirements are the ones it was built for: technical teams or privacy-sensitive orgs that want full code access, self-hosted data ownership, and a customizable open-source scheduler they can extend themselves. We would rather you pick the tool that fits than churn in month two. Aidelly earns its place when you need non-technical teams and agencies that want a complete managed product (inbox, keyword DMs, white-label, competitor spy, and MCP), without self-hosting.
