Postial prices are monthly in EUR including VAT. Vendor prices are quoted in the currency, billing period and tax treatment each vendor's own page states, and those differ between vendors; no currency conversion or like-for-like savings claim is made. A brand is a client workspace grouping; a channel or social account is one connected profile. Several brands can require many more accounts than brands. Confirm your exact account mix, taxes and checkout terms before buying. Unconfirmed means not established from the linked sources, not that a feature is absent.

Postial fits teams that want a managed service hosted in Germany and a plan defined around brands and 5 teammates. Its Agency client approval links are designed for reviewers without accounts. Client approval links are available today on Agency.
Postiz fits teams that want to self-host or need a broader network selection today. Its documented API and n8n node already support automation. Unlimited team members on eligible cloud plans can suit teams larger than Postial Agency’s five-user allowance. [1][2]
Do not switch if self-hosting is a hard requirement, if the schedule needs one of Postiz’s wider documented platform list, or if the team needs more than the Postial Agency seat allowance. Validate every client channel before changing a live calendar. [1][2]
Postial does not currently offer Postiz’s self-hosting model or its wider documented platform catalogue. It also makes no promise of automatic history import, and early-access provider connections remain subject to their conditions. [1][2]
On Agency, create a client approval link. The reviewer can inspect and decide without a Postial login; the approval result remains part of the post workflow.
Postial shows publishing status and clear errors, with retries available. Check the affected post, correct the provider or content issue, then retry; do not assume a failed post was published.
Run one client through the 14-day trial, verify each profile, and keep unsupported or early-access networks in the existing tool until your test succeeds.
List the client’s profiles, formats, scheduled posts and reviewers. Check which integrations and early-access features are live in your Postial workspace.
Start the 14-day trial without a card. Recreate a small set of drafts and, when enabled, test an Agency approval link with a reviewer. Check publishing status and recovery before expanding.
Reconnect supported profiles and rebuild schedules in small batches. Remove duplicate scheduled posts in the old tool. Keep unsupported networks there until Postial support is available; no automatic history import is promised.
Postial is presented here as a managed service hosted in Germany. Postiz offers an open-source self-hosting option.
Pro lists 30 channels and unlimited team members for $49/month. 15 brands fit that account allowance only if they use at most 30 connected profiles combined; brands and channels are different units.
No. Postiz documents a public API and custom n8n node. Postial Agency includes REST API and webhooks today, and the native n8n node is on npm as n8n-nodes-postial 0.2.0 and appears as “Postial” inside n8n.
Login-free client approval links are available on Agency today, including during the 14-day trial without a card. The checked Postiz sources do not establish an equivalent login-free review flow.
