FAQ
Before you switch
Is Postqued a full Postcron replacement?+
For TikTok automation and API-first publishing, yes. Postqued focuses on programmatic posting with unlimited volume. If you rely heavily on Postcron's bulk upload via Excel/Google Docs, note that feature is planned but not yet live in Postqued.
How do the prices compare?+
Postcron starts at $8/mo but caps you at 100 pending posts with 11 accounts. Postqued starts at $29/mo and scales to unlimited posts and accounts on Agency, with every feature on every plan. If you post frequently, Postqued's higher tiers avoid the limits that force upgrades on Postcron.
Does Postcron have an API?+
No. Postcron does not offer a public API for programmatic posting or automation. Postqued is built around that use case with static API keys and a documented REST API.
Which platforms can I post to with Postqued today?+
Postqued supports 10 platforms today: TikTok (with the official API), Instagram, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Mastodon, Bluesky, and X — all available now.
What are Postcron's post limits?+
Postcron limits pending posts based on your plan: 100 posts on the $8/mo plan, scaling up to 3,000 on the $166/mo plan. Postqued's post allowances scale from 300/mo on Creator to unlimited on Agency, with no pending-queue cap on Agency.
Does Postqued support bulk upload like Postcron?+
Bulk upload via spreadsheet is planned but not yet live. However, Postqued's API lets you programmatically upload thousands of posts from any source — more flexible than spreadsheet imports for automation workflows.
Is there a free trial?+
Yes. Both Postqued and Postcron offer 7-day free trials on paid plans.
Can I use Postqued with AI agents?+
Yes. Postqued supports AI agent workflows through its REST API and MCP integration. This is not possible with Postcron since it has no API access.
