Every channel, one calendar

Write once, adjust per network, and see the whole week of posts across accounts on one calendar.

Threads, media, first comments

Images and video, threads, previews per network, and the best times your audience is around.

Your team, with approvals

Invite people to your workspace, keep drafts in review, and share a preview link before anything goes out.

An API for your own tools

Schedule from code with your workspace’s API key: the same posts, limits and calendar as the dashboard.

Half the price, or less. Every plan, every time.

Each plan is compared with what Postiz Cloud, Buffer, Later and Hootsuite charge for as many channels and people, at their monthly list prices.

Savings are for the networks Botensten Social supports today: Bluesky, Mastodon, WordPress, Nostr, Lemmy, Medium, dev.to, Hashnode and Listmonk. The prices compared also cover Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, YouTube, Threads and Pinterest, which open here as each network’s review finishes.
