# Postiz

Schedule social posts you host. Buffer and Hootsuite without the channel/seat meter.

**Replaces:** Buffer / Hootsuite

**Tier:** Easy

## Problem

Buffer charges per channel. Hootsuite charges per user and starts at three figures. Postiz is AGPL social scheduling already in the catalog (Next.js, Nest, Redis).

## Stack

- [Postiz](https://postiz.com/) — Open-source social scheduling
- [postiz-app](https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app) — AGPL source (Next.js, NestJS, Redis)

## Estimated SaaS cost saved

| You stop paying | Typical / year | Self-host instead |
|---|---:|---|
| Hootsuite Standard | $2,400 | Postiz + Redis |
| Buffer Essentials (several channels) | $1,200 | Same Postiz box |

**About $2,400 / year** on a small team, before you count lock-in.

## Deploy on Railway

Placeholder: postiz-app + Postgres + Redis. OAuth apps for the networks you actually post to.

## AGENT_PROMPT

```
Replace Buffer or Hootsuite with Postiz.

- Deploy postiz-app with Postgres and Redis. Set the public URL. Create OAuth apps only for the networks you post to.
- Schedule one test post. Restrict signups. Write AGENT_PROMPT.md.
```

## FAQ

### Which networks?

Postiz lists X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Bluesky, and more. Connect the two you actually use. Do not build every OAuth app on day one.
