Why teams switch
Why teams choose Postqued over Tailwind
TikTok support, period
Tailwind doesn't support TikTok at all — only Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook. Postqued is built for TikTok-first teams with full API posting via the official TikTok API.
A real posting API
Tailwind has no public API for developers or automation. Postqued provides static API keys, documented REST endpoints, and webhook support for backend and AI agent workflows.
Unlimited without upgrades
Postqued is $20/month flat with unlimited accounts and posts. Tailwind caps posts at 200-1000/month on most plans and limits accounts to 1-3 per platform.
