postqueen vs Agorapulse
Publishing, a unified social inbox and ROI reporting for marketing teams and agencies.
Agorapulse is a social media management platform for marketing teams and agencies that treat engagement as seriously as publishing. Founded in 2011, it pairs a scheduler with a unified inbox and reporting that ties social activity back to traffic and revenue through a Google Analytics connection.
Agorapulse can be scripted, which puts it ahead of most of this market. What it cannot do is hand you the database: postqueen is AGPL-3.0 and free to self-host, so the OAuth tokens and the publishing history stay somewhere you control.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between postqueen and Agorapulse?
postqueen is open source and built for AI agents to drive: the same account is reachable from a calendar, a CLI, a REST API and a built-in MCP server, and you can run the whole thing yourself. Publishing, a unified social inbox and ROI reporting for marketing teams and agencies. Which one fits depends on whether you want to automate publishing or manage it in a dashboard.
Is Agorapulse or postqueen open source?
postqueen is. It is AGPL-3.0 licensed, the code that touches your accounts is public, and self-hosting is free with a Docker image or a Helm chart. Agorapulse is a hosted product, so the database, the OAuth tokens and the publishing history stay on their infrastructure.
How many channels does each one publish to?
postqueen publishes to 30 channels and Agorapulse covers 10 of the ones we track. The number matters less than the overlap: list the networks you actually post to, then check both against that list rather than against each other.
Can I drive either one from an AI agent?
postqueen ships a built-in MCP server, a CLI on npm, a REST API, a Node SDK and an n8n node, so Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw and Hermes can all drive it. Agorapulse has an MCP server but no CLI we could verify. Some of it sits behind a tier though. MCP server: Paid plans. API: Reports API. On postqueen all of it is on every plan.
How does the pricing compare?
postqueen cloud plans run from $20 to $99 a month with unlimited posts on every plan, four or five months free on yearly billing, and a 7-day free trial. Self-hosting is free. Agorapulse: per user pricing with paid plans starting around $79 per user per month, alongside a limited free plan and a 30-day free trial. Prices move, so confirm both before deciding.
Does Agorapulse connect to Zapier and Make.com?
Zapier on higher plans. postqueen connects through its public REST API and webhooks on every plan, and ships an n8n community node as well, so the automation layer is not a tier you upgrade into.
What is involved in switching from Agorapulse?
Plan for the reconnection, not the export. Scheduled posts rarely migrate between tools, so someone re-enters the queue by hand, and every channel needs its OAuth connection made again. The part worth checking first is whether Agorapulse lets you take your analytics history with you, because that is the piece that is gone for good if it does not.
