Mixpost Alternative: Same API, Nothing to Self-Host

Start free →  No server to run, no updates to apply.

SchedPilot is the hosted version of what you were about to self-host: a scheduling API, an MCP server for AI agents, and a dashboard — running on our infrastructure from $21/month. Mixpost is $299 one-time, but you supply the server, the database, the queue workers, the SSL, the upgrades, and your own developer app registration on every platform.

The real comparison

Mixpost is genuinely good software and it has both an API and an MCP server — this is not a feature-gap argument. It is an operations argument.

What self-hosting actually costs

A VPS that can run the app plus queue workers, plus your time: registering a developer app with Meta, X, LinkedIn, and each other network; keeping OAuth tokens alive; applying updates; and fixing publishing the week a platform changes its API. The $299 is the cheapest part. If you enjoy that work or have compliance reasons to hold the data yourself, self-host — genuinely.

If you would rather not

curl -X POST https://api.schedpilot.com/developers/v1/post \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $SCHEDPILOT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "content": "Same API call. Nobody paged at 2am.",
    "date": "2026-08-11",
    "time": "09:30",
    "accounts": [{"id": 1234, "type": "twitter"}]
  }'

Rate limits are 60 read and 30 write per hour, per user — a real constraint you do not have when you own the box, and worth checking against your volume. Docs: docs.schedpilot.com. MCP via schedpilot-mcp.

Where Mixpost wins

Twelve networks to our nine — they add Mastodon, Pixelfed and Google Business Profile. Full data ownership. And past roughly 18 months, a one-time $299 is cheaper than any subscription. If you need the fediverse platforms or data residency is contractual, stay with Mixpost.

Pick SchedPilot if

Your networks are among our nine, you would rather ship your product than operate a publishing stack, or you want agencies-grade workspaces and team seats without building them. $21/month for 5 accounts up to $79/month for 100 accounts and 10 seats, API included throughout. Seven-day free trial.
