Looking for an open source alternative to Typefully?
Sometimes, you want the simplicity of a clean drafting experience, the power of scheduling across platforms, and the confidence that your workflow isn’t locked behind a monthly subscription or limited API access. If that sounds familiar, you’re probably on the hunt for something like Typefully, but open, self-hosted, and built to scale with your needs.
Enter the world of Postiz and Mixpost, two powerful platforms rethinking how creators, businesses, and teams manage social media.
Postiz
Postiz is the all-in-one hub for people who want more than just a scheduler. It’s built for creators aiming for consistent growth, businesses focused on expanding reach, and agencies handling multiple brands without the chaos. What makes it stand out is how everything works in harmony, from AI-generated content ideas to Canva-style visual creation tools. There’s a kind of creative momentum you feel with Postiz. One moment you’re drafting a post, the next you're watching your AI assistant enhance it, your team reviewing and approving, and finally the content going live, complete with auto-engagement features that help boost performance without lifting a finger.
Postiz isn’t just smart, it’s thoughtful. It understands what it means to juggle creativity, deadlines, and metrics. You stay in control, but you're never alone in the process.
Mixpost
Then there’s Mixpost, where the philosophy shifts slightly. It's about control, transparency, and sustainability. Open source, self-hosted, and privacy-first, Mixpost gives you the entire infrastructure to run your own Typefully-like setup on your terms. No surprise fees. No reliance on third-party gatekeepers. Just you and your data.
Setting up Mixpost is refreshingly simple. Install it, connect your platforms, and suddenly you’re managing posts across Facebook, X, Mastodon, and more, all from one dashboard. And it's not just functional, it feels modern. Clean interface, intuitive calendar, drag-and-drop scheduling, and a growing suite of analytics tools that actually help you adjust in real-time.
What really sets Mixpost apart is its openness. Want to extend it? You can. Want to host it your way? You’re free to. And if you're working with a team, Mixpost’s collaboration tools mean nothing falls through the cracks. From drafts to approvals, everyone’s in sync. Engagement tools are also on the way, promising a unified inbox experience where mentions and replies are handled effortlessly.
So whether you're looking for Postiz's polished all-in-one toolkit or Mixpost's open source freedom and focus, both platforms offer a strong, modern alternative to Typefully, without sacrificing control, quality, or your creative rhythm.
