Why teams switch from Postiz
One dashboard rolls reach, engagement, and growth up across every account and network — instead of stitching native dashboards together.
Postiz’s open-source, self-hosted option is a genuine strength for technical teams willing to run their own infrastructure. For everyone else, SkedCast is fully managed with no server to maintain, plus agency workflows Postiz’s pricing page does not describe.
