EzSocial vs Postiz: Slideshows on Autopilot or an Open-Source Scheduler?
Last updated September 29, 2026 · Written by the EzSocial team, a competitor of Postiz
The short answer
Postiz and EzSocial both publish on your behalf and both work with AI agents, but they start from opposite ends. Postiz is a scheduler first: it publishes to more than 30 networks, includes an API, webhooks and a hosted MCP server on every paid plan, adds AI writing, images and video, and has a free open-source edition you can self-host. EzSocial is a content maker first: it reads your website, writes six-slide slideshows about your product, and publishes them to Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn, on your schedule or on Autopilot. Choose Postiz if you post widely, want analytics, or want to self-host. Choose EzSocial if you want slideshows about your product made and posted for you, starting free and then $19 a month.

Scheduler first, or content first
Postiz's calendar publishes what you and your agents create. Its AI copilot writes posts, it can generate images and short videos, and its in-app agent can schedule posts to one or several channels. Its docs suggest having the agent draft first while you get a feel for it.
EzSocial makes one kind of post without being asked each time. It reads your website into a Brand DNA profile, then writes six slides about your product in a story format, with AI images and a caption. On Autopilot it reserves dates for the rest of the month and makes each slideshow shortly before it posts, with no prompt needed.
Networks, analytics and teams
Postiz lists 34 platforms in its docs, from Instagram and TikTok to Reddit, Discord, Telegram, Bluesky, Mastodon and Google My Business. It reports analytics for the platforms that send data back, and includes unlimited team members from its $39 Team plan.
EzSocial publishes to Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn personal profiles, has no analytics, and its web app invites viewers on Pro and Max. Both tools post LinkedIn multi-image posts as swipeable document carousels.
Self-hosting and price
Postiz's open-source edition is free under the AGPL-3.0 license if you run the server, handle updates and get your own developer apps approved on each network. Its hosted plans are $29 a month for 5 channels, $39 for 10, $49 for 30 and $99 for 100, less on annual billing, with a 7-day trial that needs a payment method.
EzSocial is hosted only. It has a free plan with your first slideshow free and no card needed, then $19 a month for about 10 slideshows, $49 for about 27 and $99 for about 68.
