Blotato Alternative: Publishing API From $21/Month

Start free →  Scheduling infrastructure, priced like infrastructure.

SchedPilot is a publishing API and scheduler from $21/month, topping out at $79/month for 100 accounts. Blotato runs $29 to $499/month and is built primarily around AI content generation. Both ship an API and an MCP server — the difference is what you are buying and what it costs at scale.

Price at the top matters most

What you actually call

curl -X POST https://api.schedpilot.com/developers/v1/post \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $SCHEDPILOT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "content": "Your generator wrote it. We ship it.",
    "date": "2026-08-11",
    "time": "09:30",
    "accounts": [
      {"id": 1234, "type": "twitter"},
      {"id": 5678, "type": "linkedin"}
    ]
  }'

Plus GET /accounts, GET /posts, DELETE /posts/{id}, media upload, per-post analytics, and webhooks. Rate limits published up front: 60 read, 30 write per hour, per user. Full reference.

Bring your own generation

If you already have a content pipeline — your own prompts, your own model, an agent that writes in your voice — you do not need to pay for someone else’s generator on top. Install schedpilot-mcp, set SCHEDPILOT_TOKEN, and your agent handles drafting while SchedPilot handles accounts, scheduling, and delivery. Gold plans and above do include AI generation credits if you want them.

Where Blotato wins

A much deeper AI content layer — video generation, viral-content tooling, and a generation workflow built for people who want the tool to write for them. If you want AI to produce the content itself rather than just publish it, Blotato is the more complete product and the price reflects that.

Pick SchedPilot if

You already generate content and need reliable, cheap delivery; you want per-account costs that stay flat as you grow; or you are an agency where $499/month per seat-tier does not survive the margin math. $21 / $35 / $49 / $79 per month on annual billing, API on all of them, seven-day free trial with no charge during the trial.
