RecurPost Alternative With a Real Publishing API

Start free →  Scheduling you can call from code.

SchedPilot is a social media scheduler with a documented publishing API and an MCP server, so your own software — or an AI agent — can create and schedule posts. RecurPost has no publicly documented posting API; it is built for people working inside the dashboard. If you need programmatic posting, that is the gap this fills.

The difference in one call

curl -X POST https://api.schedpilot.com/developers/v1/post \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $SCHEDPILOT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "content": "Published by a script, not a person.",
    "date": "2026-08-11",
    "time": "08:00",
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "accounts": [{"id": 1234, "type": "twitter"}]
  }'

You still get the calendar, the composer, media library, workspaces, and analytics — the API sits alongside the product rather than replacing it. Docs: docs.schedpilot.com.

Agents, not just scripts

Install schedpilot-mcp and set SCHEDPILOT_TOKEN. Claude or any MCP-compatible agent then has six tools: get_accounts, create_post, list_posts, delete_post, upload_media, and post analytics. That is a genuinely different way to run an account — the agent drafts, schedules, and reports back.

Honest comparison

RecurPost SchedPilot
Entry price From $9/mo From $21/mo
Evergreen recycling Core strength Not a dedicated feature
Networks 10, incl. Google Business Profile 9
Public posting API None publicly documented Included on every plan
MCP server for AI agents schedpilot-mcp

RecurPost is cheaper to start and adds Google Business Profile. If evergreen content recycling is the job — a library you rotate on a schedule forever — that is what RecurPost is built around, and switching for the API alone would be a downgrade for that workflow.

Switch if

You want posts created by your own app, a workflow tool, or an AI agent rather than typed into a calendar; your networks are among the nine we cover; or you are an agency wanting 20–100 accounts with API access included rather than sold separately.

Plans run $21 / $35 / $49 / $79 per month on annual billing, all including API access. Seven-day free trial, no charge during the trial.
