postqueen vs Mixpost
Self-hosted social media management sold as a one-time license.
Mixpost is self-hosted social media management from Inovector, installed as a Laravel package or via Docker on your own server. It suits developers, agencies, and privacy conscious teams who want to own their data, and it is one of the few tools in this category sold as a one-time license instead of a subscription.
Both sit on the open, scriptable side of this market, so the choice comes down to reach and operation: postqueen publishes to 30 channels, ships a Docker image and a Helm chart, and offers a hosted plan if you would rather not run it yourself. Try both against the channels you actually post to.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between postqueen and Mixpost?
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. Self-hosted social media management sold as a one-time license. Which one fits depends on whether you want to automate publishing or manage it in a dashboard.
Is Mixpost or postqueen open source?
Partly. The open part of Mixpost is the Lite edition (MIT), not the whole product. postqueen is AGPL-3.0 across all of it rather than a free edition sitting next to a paid one, so nothing moves behind a licence change, and self-hosting is free with a Docker image or a Helm chart.
How many channels does each one publish to?
postqueen publishes to 30 channels and Mixpost covers 11 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. Mixpost has an MCP server but no CLI we could verify. Some of it sits behind a tier though. MCP server: Pro license. API: Pro license. 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. Mixpost: lite is free and MIT licensed, while Pro is a one-time license from around $299 (Enterprise around $1,199), so there is no recurring fee beyond your own hosting. Prices move, so confirm both before deciding.
What is involved in switching from Mixpost?
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 Mixpost lets you take your analytics history with you, because that is the piece that is gone for good if it does not.
