Postproxy vs Publer
Publer is a scheduling dashboard that added an API on its Business plan. Postproxy is an API built for developers from day one — with free access, 7 SDKs, and multi-tenant isolation.
TL;DR
A quick take in two columns, then the detailed comparison below.
Publer is a scheduling dashboard. The API launched in 2025 as an add-on, available only on the Business plan at €8.72/account/month. For 10 accounts with API access: ~$95/mo. Free and Professional plans have no API at all. No SDKs, no multi-tenant model, no n8n, no MCP server, no documented failure handling.
Postproxy is an API. Every plan includes API access, starting with a permanent free tier. 7 typed SDKs, scoped API keys for per-client isolation, queue system with timeslots and priority, per-platform state machine. For 10 accounts: $17/mo vs ~$95/mo. At 50 accounts: $49/mo vs ~$475/mo. Publer is for teams who schedule through a browser — Postproxy is for code that publishes programmatically.

Pricing

Publer's Free and Professional plans do not include API access. Any API call requires the Business tier. Postproxy includes API access on every plan, including the free tier.
Where Postproxy wins
APIs, SDKs, tenant isolation, and predictable behavior—without running publishing infrastructure yourself.
API-first design
The API is the product, not a feature gated behind a dashboard plan.
Free API access
Publer requires ~$95/mo minimum for any API call. Postproxy: free.
7 SDKs
Typed clients for Node/TS, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, Java, .NET. Publer has none.
Multi-tenant isolation
Scoped API keys for SaaS products. Publer has no multi-tenant model.
n8n + MCP
Native n8n node and MCP server for AI agents. Publer has neither.
Failure handling
Per-platform state machine with retry states and per-event webhooks.
