Free (self-hosted) · Free plan: yes · 11 platforms
What is Mixpost?
Mixpost's pitch is simple: stop renting your scheduler. It installs on your own server (Docker or a Laravel deployment), your data never leaves your infrastructure, and there are no per-account or per-user monthly fees. The interface is genuinely polished — calendar, queue, media library, and per-network post customization comparable to commercial SaaS tools.
Mixpost Lite is free and open source; Mixpost Pro is a paid self-hosted license that adds workspaces, approval workflows, post versions, analytics, and more networks. Coverage spans Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads. For agencies, self-hosting means client costs stay flat no matter how many accounts you add.

FAQ
Is Mixpost free?
Mixpost Lite is free and open source — self-host it with unlimited accounts and posts. Mixpost Pro, with workspaces, approvals, and analytics, is a paid self-hosted license (still no recurring per-account fees).
How do I install Mixpost?
Via Docker on any VPS, or as a package inside an existing Laravel app. A small $5–10/month server runs it comfortably; you'll also create developer apps on each social network for API access.
Mixpost vs Postiz — which should I pick?
Both are strong. Mixpost (PHP/Laravel) has an especially polished UI and a one-time-license Pro model; Postiz (Node.js) covers more niche platforms and has an API/MCP angle for AI-agent workflows. Try whichever matches your stack.
What platforms does Mixpost support?
Facebook, Instagram (including Reels), X, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads, with the list growing by release.
