Why teams switch
Why teams choose Postqued over Publer
Plan pricing, not per-account
Postqued's Creator plan covers 10 accounts for $29/month with no per-account fees. Publer's per-account pricing gets expensive quickly, managing 5 accounts costs $20+/mo, and 10 accounts pushes you well beyond Postqued's entry price.
API access included
Postqued includes full REST API access with static API keys in the base plan. Publer requires the Business plan ($10+/mo) just to access their API, and you still pay per-account on top.
TikTok-native with official API
Postqued uses the official TikTok API with granular publish controls. All 10 platforms are live: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Mastodon, Bluesky, and X.
Choose Postqued if…
- You want predictable plan pricing instead of per-account fees.
- You need a TikTok posting API for agents, scripts, or no-code workflows.
- You manage many accounts and want them covered by your plan, scaling to unlimited on Agency.
- API access is essential and should be included, not a premium add-on.
Choose Publer if…
- You only manage 1-3 accounts and want a free or low-cost entry point.
- You need AI-powered content generation for captions and visuals.
- You want 13+ platforms including Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky today.
- Post recycling and bulk scheduling for 500+ posts is a priority.
