Social media auto poster pricing: what you actually pay for
Postwire is a social media auto poster that plans to charge per connected platform account, with API and MCP access on the higher plan.
What tools charge for
Most schedulers price by connected channel or profile, then by team seats, then by extras such as analytics, AI writing or API access. Developer APIs tend to price by user profiles and volume. Self-hosted open-source tools cost your server and your time.
Costs outside the tool
Some platforms charge for their own APIs. X's API has paid access tiers, so posting through it can cost money on top of any tool. Meta's APIs are free to call but take setup time. Browser-based posting costs nothing extra but needs a machine that is on.
Postwire's planned pricing
Postwire is in an internal-use phase and does not charge yet; there is a free tier with 3 core actions a day. Two plans are planned: Solo at $19/month for 5 platform accounts, and Maker at $49/month for 15 accounts including MCP and API access. Until billing opens, the pricing page shows a waitlist instead of a checkout.
