Buffer charges per channel. Five networks become five lines on the invoice. Fanout charges by accounts on the plan — Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube for the same brand don't triple the price.

Fanout vs Hootsuite
Hootsuite is an enterprise panel: seats, workflows, listening. The price starts far from Fanout. If you need that, we are not the replacement. If you need to post to nine networks without the panel, we are.

Postiz is cloud and also self-host. If you want the scheduler on your server, they win. Fanout is a hosted product, with studio, approval, and MCP in the same place.

what Fanout isn't
Points the table doesn't hide.
- There's no permanent free plan.
- Doesn't post to X / Twitter.
- Doesn't promise reach. Official API, each network's algorithm.
- MCP and REST are an add-on (US$5/month), on top of an active plan.
