Upload-Post Alternative: An API Plus a Product Your Team Can Use

Start free →  An API and a product your clients can log into.

SchedPilot gives you the same one-call publishing API as Upload-Post, plus the thing a pure API cannot: a real scheduler with a calendar, workspaces, team seats, approvals, and analytics that humans use — on the same accounts your agent posts to. From $21/month, API included on every plan.

Straight comparison

Upload-Post SchedPilot
Entry price From $19/mo From $21/mo
Networks 20+ 9
Posting API Yes — the whole product Yes, every plan
MCP server for agents schedpilot-mcp
Dashboard & calendar Minimal Full product
Workspaces / team seats Up to 20 workspaces, 10 seats

Upload-Post covers far more networks than we do and is a few dollars cheaper to start. If your only requirement is “one API call, as many platforms as possible,” they are the better fit and you should use them.

When the API alone is not enough

It stops being enough the moment a human needs to see the queue. A client wants to approve next week’s posts. A social manager needs to reschedule something your agent queued. You need to show an agency owner what went out and how it did. That is a product, not an endpoint — and building it on top of a posting relay is a quarter of work you did not plan.

curl -X POST https://api.schedpilot.com/developers/v1/post \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $SCHEDPILOT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "content": "Queued by an agent. Editable by a human.",
    "date": "2026-08-11",
    "time": "09:30",
    "accounts": [{"id": 1234, "type": "instagram"}]
  }'

The post your API call creates appears in the same calendar your team works in. Docs at docs.schedpilot.com; rate limits are 60 read and 30 write per hour, per user.

Agents get first-class access

Install schedpilot-mcp, set SCHEDPILOT_TOKEN, and Claude or any MCP-compatible agent gets six tools without a line of client code — list accounts, create, list and delete posts, upload media, read analytics.

Pick SchedPilot if

Your networks are among our nine; people as well as code need to touch the schedule; or you are an agency that needs client workspaces and approvals rather than a raw endpoint. $21 to $79/month annually, 5 to 100 accounts, seven-day free trial with no charge during the trial.
