Why people leave Postiz
From our own signup on 2026-10-06. Prices re-read 2026-10-20.
- Card first. Postiz shows "Pay NOTHING for the first 7-days", then asks for a card number, expiry and CVC. You see no dashboard until you add one.
- No hosted free plan. The free way to run Postiz is to host the open source code yourself.
- The price. Standard is US$29 a month for 5 channels.
- AI video you may not use. Standard comes with 3 AI videos and 60 minutes of AI clipping a month. If you never use them, you still pay for them.
Switch in 3 steps
- Reconnect your accounts. Sign up to sprkly and connect each handle once. One account is one handle on one platform. Here is how to connect your accounts.
- Re-queue the next week. Copy only the next 7 days of posts into sprkly, not the whole backlog. Take each one out of the Postiz queue as you add it, or it goes out twice.
- Keep Postiz until the first post lands. Wait for one sprkly post to go live on each platform. Then cancel Postiz.
- Use Claude or ChatGPT? Connect sprkly and ask it to queue the week for you. See how to post from Claude.
- On Pro and Agency, we move your queue over for you.
