TryPost
Checked 26 Oct 2026 · source · 11 networks · API yes · AI yes
Teams that want an open-source scheduler they can self-host or use hosted at a flat price, with a REST API and an MCP server for AI agents.
You want a long-established vendor with track record and published enterprise features. TryPost is a young project, and the site shows no annual price or free hosted plan.
Overview
TryPost presents itself as a scheduler for creators, startups and agencies. The homepage lists a single editor for drafting posts to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, Discord and Google Business Profile, and a drag-and-drop calendar across networks. Posts publish through each network's official API, with notifications only on failure.
A few features stand out as aimed at automation. There is a REST API, an MCP server so an agent can plan and schedule posts (the site cites 31 tools, the GitHub page 80 or more), and no-code automations with triggers and webhooks, such as pulling from RSS. AI generates captions, hooks and images. Team features include approval flows, inline comments and shareable approval links, plus separate workspaces per brand or client.
The GitHub README states the license is AGPL-3.0 and that the self-hosted version has every feature. The hosted option is called Socials. The site shows no annual price, free hosted plan or trial, so I haven't claimed any. The project looks young, and I could not find a track record on the pages I read.
What it does well
- The hosted plan has unlimited accounts and members for one price.
- It has a REST API and an MCP server.
- It offers workspaces per brand, with approvals and client links.
- It can be self-hosted under AGPL-3.0.
What to watch out for
- The site shows no annual price, free hosted plan or trial.
- It is a young project, so there is little track record to judge.
- Self-hosting means you pay for and run your own hosting.
- The MCP tool count differs between the site (31) and GitHub (80 or more).
Plans and prices
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed annually, per month | Unit | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Self-hosted (AGPL-3.0) | $0 | $0 | software is free; you pay for your own hosting | Open source; GitHub README says the self-hosted version has every feature, no paid tiers |
| Socials (hosted) | $19 | Not published | per month | Unlimited social accounts and team members, all features included |
The ladder is short. Self-hosted is free software where you pay for your own hosting. Hosted Socials is $19 per month, with unlimited social accounts and team members and all features included. Because accounts and seats do not raise the price, the bill does not grow with channel or team count on what the site shows. My notes record no annual price, no free hosted plan and no trial. If you self-host, the growth is in your server and your own maintenance time.

Pick it if you want a flat-price or self-hosted scheduler with an API and MCP, and a larger team or client list would make per-seat pricing sting. Skip it if you want a long-established vendor with published enterprise features.
