Metricool vs Postiz
Short answer: pick Metricool if analytics matter most — a free plan (1 brand, 20 posts a month) with MCP included, competitor analysis across up to 100 profiles and a Looker Studio connector; paid starts at €16 (about $20) a month for up to 10 brands, with X as a paid add-on. Pick Postiz if publishing breadth matters more: 30+ platforms, $29 a month for 5 channels, and it is open source and free to self-host. Both have MCP; neither connects to your payments.
Two schedulers, compared on the things that actually differ. Every figure below was read off Metricool’s and Postiz’s own pages on 23 September 2026 (Metricool) and 24 September 2026 (Postiz) — not from a press release and not from memory.

Pick Metricool if…
- Analytics depth no scheduler matches: competitor analysis across up to 100 profiles, ad-platform reporting, a Looker Studio connector and unlimited analytics history.
- A free plan that includes MCP access, which seenpaid has no equivalent to.
- Twitch and blog publishing, neither of which seenpaid supports.
Pick Postiz if…
- Open source under AGPL-3.0 with over 36,000 GitHub stars, and fully self-hostable — you can run it on your own servers with no vendor lock-in. seenpaid’s revenue engine is closed.
- More platforms than seenpaid: 30+ against 21, including several seenpaid does not support.
- Unlimited posts, a public API, webhooks, AI video and YouTube clipping on every plan, and team seats from $39.
A third option
Neither one can tell you which post made money
Metricool and Postiz both report reach and engagement, and neither connects to a payment processor — so if a post produced a sale, nothing in either tool will tell you. seenpaid schedules to 21 platforms like they do, then reads your Stripe and attributes each payment to the exact post that drove it. It ships a hosted MCP server with 50 tools so an AI agent can read those numbers too.
Worth saying plainly: if you do not sell anything, revenue attribution is worth nothing to you and one of the two above is the better answer.
