Why teams switch
Why developers choose Postqued over The Social Poster
Every platform, real API access
Postqued starts at $29/month with the official TikTok API, 10 platforms, unlimited workspaces, and full API/CLI/MCP access on every plan. The Social Poster runs $39-50/month and doesn't offer the API access that developers and automation workflows require.
Real API, not browser automation
The Social Poster has no public API. Postqued provides static API keys and a documented REST API for programmatic posting — no browser sessions, no fragile workarounds.
Official TikTok API integration
Postqued uses TikTok's official Content Posting API with proper authentication. TikTok and 9 other platforms—Instagram, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Mastodon, Bluesky, and X—are all live today.

FAQ
Before you switch
Is Postqued a full replacement for The Social Poster?+
For TikTok automation and API-first publishing, yes. Postqued doesn't replicate The Social Poster's AI caption generation or social inbox — it focuses on programmatic TikTok posting with a real API at a lower price.
How does Postqued's pricing compare to The Social Poster?+
Postqued starts at $29/month (Creator) and scales to unlimited posts and accounts on Agency. The Social Poster is $39-50/month. Beyond price, Postqued includes the official TikTok API, 10 platforms, unlimited workspaces and team seats, and full API/CLI/MCP access that The Social Poster doesn't offer.
Does The Social Poster have a TikTok API?+
The Social Poster lists TikTok support but does not offer a public API for programmatic posting. Their TikTok integration appears to be browser-based rather than using the official TikTok API.
Which platforms can I post to with Postqued today?+
Postqued supports 10 platforms live today: TikTok (official API), Instagram, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Mastodon, Bluesky, and X.
Does Postqued have AI caption generation?+

What about The Social Poster's social inbox feature?+
Postqued does not currently include a social inbox for managing comments and messages. If unified inbox management is a priority, The Social Poster may be a better fit for that specific workflow.

Can I use Postqued with AI agents or automation tools?+
