Key Differences

Where the two products differ

API on every plan

Status 200 includes REST API keys on every plan, including Free. Publer's API is available only to eligible Business and Enterprise customers.

Large video files

Status 200 accepts videos up to 5 GB (resumable in the dashboard, or imported from a URL through the API) 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.

Platform-specific controls

Status 200 offers settings per platform in the post form, such as TikTok privacy and YouTube categories.

Per-profile vs per-account pricing

Publer prices per connected social account: Professional is $5/mo for one account, $20 for 5 and $36 for 10; Business, which includes the API, is $10, $35 and $63 (billed monthly; 20% less billed yearly). Status 200 prices per profile, and one profile holds one account on each platform, so Beginner ($9/mo, 3 profiles, 8 platforms including Skool) can hold up to 24 connected accounts.

Who Should Use Which?

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The dashboard has no CSV import. You can script batch scheduling through the REST API instead: one request per post, each with its own post.scheduledFor (up to 500 posts waiting per account).

It depends on how many accounts you connect. Publer Professional is $5/mo for one social account, $20 for 5 and $36 for 10. Business, the plan with Publer's API, is $10, $35 and $63 (billed monthly; yearly billing is 20% less). Status 200 Beginner is a flat $9/mo ($7.50 billed yearly) for 3 profiles, each covering 8 platforms (Skool included), and the API is on every plan. For a single social account, Publer's $5 is lower than Beginner's $9. For 3 brands on 4 networks each (12 accounts), Publer Professional is $44/mo and Business $77/mo, billed monthly; Status 200 Beginner covers that on 3 profiles for $9/mo.

Yes, but only for Business and Enterprise customers; Free and Professional users have no API access. Publer's pricing page lists its MCP server on Business, and its MCP help page says "Publer's MCP is now available on the Business and Enterprise plans", though the same page adds that at the moment it is available to Top Ambassadors on the Enterprise plan. Status 200 provides REST API keys on all plans, including Free.

Yes. You can connect the same social accounts to both, for example Publer for RSS auto-posting and Status 200 for API-driven publishing.

Uploads in the dashboard and URL imports through the API accept videos up to 5 GB and images up to 20 MB. 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.
