Canonical: https://status200uploads.com/vs/postiz

Competitor details last verified 15 October 2026.

Postiz is an open-source social media scheduler with a hosted cloud version. Here is how the two compare, checked against Postiz's own pricing page and docs.

## Verdict

### Status 200 is better for

- Creators who want a permanent free plan (30 posts per month): Postiz Cloud has none, and its 7-day trial needs a payment method
- Brands that post to several networks each: Beginner ($9/mo, or $7.50 a month billed yearly) holds 3 profiles with one account per network in each, while Postiz Standard ($29/mo, or $23 billed yearly) holds 5 accounts
- Anyone who uploads big videos: up to 5 GB here, against 1 GB per video on Postiz Cloud

### Postiz is better for

- Teams that want to self-host: Postiz is open source (AGPL-3.0) and runs on your own server with Docker
- Users who need networks we do not support, such as Reddit, Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, Discord, Google Business Profile, Whop or WordPress
- Agencies with many accounts on one network: Postiz Ultimate holds 100 channels for $99/mo ($79 billed yearly)
- Users who want X, webhooks and unlimited posts on every plan, plus built-in AI image and video generation

## Key differences

### Free plan vs 7-day trial

Status 200 has a permanent Free plan: 1 profile and 30 posts per month on 7 networks, with REST API keys. Postiz Cloud has no free plan: every plan starts with a 7-day trial that needs a payment method, then costs from $29/mo ($23 a month billed yearly, where Status 200 Beginner is $7.50). Postiz's self-hosted edition is free, if you run the server and register your own developer app on each network.

### Bigger files

Status 200 accepts videos up to 5 GB (resumable in the dashboard, or imported from a URL through the API) and images up to 20 MB, and publishes videos up to 5 GB to YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn and Skool, and up to 4 GB to TikTok. Instagram (300 MB) and Threads (1 GB) have lower limits of their own. Postiz Cloud caps every file at 1 GB for video and 10 MB for images, on every plan, and takes MP4 as its only video format.

### Per-profile pricing

Status 200 prices per profile, and one profile holds one account on each network, so Beginner ($9/mo, 3 profiles, 8 networks including Skool) can hold up to 24 connected accounts. Postiz prices by connected accounts: Standard ($29/mo) holds 5, and three Facebook Pages count as three. Postiz costs less when many accounts sit on one network: 10 TikTok accounts fit Postiz Team ($39/mo) but need 10 profiles here (Skilled, $69/mo).

### Where Postiz is ahead

Postiz is open source (AGPL-3.0) and can run on your own server. It lists more than 30 networks, among them Reddit, Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, Discord, Google Business Profile and Whop, and it posts to Skool through its browser extension. Every plan has unlimited posts, X, webhooks and its MCP server, and it generates AI images and video. Make lists an app that Postiz maintains.

## Who should use which?

### Choose Status 200 if...

- You want a permanent free plan, or paid plans from $9/mo ($7.50 a month billed yearly)
- You upload big videos: up to 5 GB, where Postiz Cloud stops at 1 GB per video and takes MP4 only
- You run several brands on several networks each and prefer one price per profile to a cap on connected accounts
- You want REST API keys on every plan, including Free, and a Python package (pip install status200uploads)

### Choose Postiz if...

- You want to self-host an open-source app (AGPL-3.0) on your own server
- You post to networks we do not support, such as Reddit, Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Google Business Profile, Whop or WordPress
- You run many accounts on one network: Postiz Pro holds 30 channels for $49/mo and Ultimate 100 for $99/mo
- You want unlimited posts and X on every plan, or webhooks that fire when a post publishes
- You want built-in AI images, AI video and video clipping, RSS auto-posting, repeating posts, or scheduled first comments and X threads
- You want Pinterest video Pins or LinkedIn carousels

## Switching from Postiz?

1. Create a free Status 200 Uploads account at status200uploads.com/signup
2. Connect the same social accounts you use on Postiz. Eight networks connect through their own official sign-in (OAuth), so we never see your password. Skool has no such sign-in: you paste your Skool session cookie, which we store encrypted.
3. Upload your media to the Status 200 media library
4. Recreate your scheduled posts in the dashboard, or send them to the REST API with post.scheduledFor; there is no import from Postiz
5. If an AI app posted through the Postiz MCP server, add https://mcp.status200uploads.com/mcp as a custom connector in Claude or Claude Code. The AI connector is included in every paid plan, from Beginner.
6. Verify your first post publishes successfully, then cancel your Postiz subscription

## Questions

### Is Postiz free?

Postiz Cloud has no free plan: every plan starts with a 7-day trial, which needs a payment method, and plans start at $29/mo ($23 a month billed yearly). The open-source edition is free to self-host under the AGPL-3.0 licence, but you run the server and register a developer app on each network yourself; Postiz says the reviews for Meta, YouTube and TikTok apps can take weeks. Status 200 has a permanent Free plan with 1 profile and 30 posts per month on 7 networks, with REST API keys.

### Is Status 200 cheaper than Postiz?

It depends on how your accounts are spread. Postiz Cloud prices by connected accounts, each one a channel: Standard is $29/mo for 5 ($23 billed yearly), Team $39 for 10, Pro $49 for 30 and Ultimate $99 for 100, all with unlimited posts. Status 200 Beginner is $9/mo ($7.50 billed yearly) for 3 profiles, and each profile holds one account on each of TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads and Skool; X is a $9/mo add-on, where Postiz includes X. So 3 brands on 4 networks each (12 accounts) cost $9/mo here and $49/mo on Postiz Pro. Many accounts on one network cost less on Postiz: 10 TikTok accounts fit Postiz Team ($39/mo) but need Skilled ($69/mo) here, and 30 fit Postiz Pro ($49/mo) but need Agency ($499/mo) here. Beginner allows 20 posts a day per profile and Apprentice 50; every Postiz plan has unlimited posts.

### Does Postiz post to Skool?

Yes. Postiz announced Skool posting in February 2026. It connects through the Postiz browser extension, which reads your logged-in Skool session, and Postiz warns that posting with session cookies can break a platform's terms of service. Its Skool pages describe posts with a title, a label and images, and scheduled comments. Status 200 posts to Skool communities on every paid plan, from Beginner ($9/mo): you paste your Skool session cookie, which we store encrypted, and each Skool account gets at most one post an hour and 10 a day.

### Does Postiz have an API and an MCP server?

Yes. Every Postiz plan includes a public REST API (an API key, or an OAuth token for apps built for other Postiz users), webhooks, a CLI, a Node.js SDK and a hosted MCP server that AI apps reach through an OAuth sign-in or an API key. Its docs limit the create-post endpoint to 90 requests an hour (the API overview says 100 on the cloud), and one request can carry several posts. Status 200's REST API is on every plan, Free included, with one post per network every 20 seconds per account (scheduled posts take no wait) and a Python package; the AI connector is included in every paid plan, from Beginner. Status 200 has no webhooks yet.

### How large can videos be on Postiz and on Status 200?

Postiz Cloud accepts images up to 10 MB and videos up to 1 GB per file on every plan, and MP4 is the only video format it takes. Status 200 accepts videos up to 5 GB and images up to 20 MB, as MP4, M4V, MOV or WebM videos and JPEG, PNG or WebP images. How much of that you can publish depends on the network: YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn and Skool up to 5 GB, TikTok 4 GB, Threads 1 GB, Instagram 300 MB. Pinterest posts are images only. Big videos are sent in the background, so you can close the page once the upload has finished.

### Is Postiz open source?

Yes. Postiz publishes its app on GitHub under the AGPL-3.0 licence, and its self-hosted edition runs with Docker on your own server, with no plan limits. You then register a developer app on each network, go through their app reviews and handle updates and backups yourself; Postiz also sells help with app approval as an optional paid service. Status 200 is a hosted service only: you sign up, connect your accounts and post.

### Does Status 200 work with n8n like Postiz?

Through a community node, yes: @status200uploads/n8n-nodes-status200uploads. n8n verified it on 26 October 2026, so on n8n Cloud an owner or admin adds it from the nodes panel; on self-hosted n8n it installs under Settings, Community Nodes; n8n's HTTP Request node does the same without it. Postiz's n8n node is verified by n8n too. Postiz also maintains an app on Make; Status 200 has no Zapier or Make app, though Make's HTTP module can call our REST API (not tested by us yet).
