How uplika compares
Publishing APIs an AI agent can talk to, next to ours. Every number here was read off their public docs on the date shown.
We built this page because we kept being asked the same question and did not want to answer it from memory. It is not a scoreboard. The row where we are behind is the first one on every table.
Anything we could not confirm in public documentation is marked as such rather than guessed. Where a competitor's own pages disagree with each other, we say so on their page.
What publishes today
Threads, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Bluesky, Telegram. Naver Blog publishes through the uplika Chrome extension in your own browser. TikTok is waiting on platform review: its real limits are listed so you can build against them now, and publishing there is refused rather than dropped quietly. We list fewer channels than the products below. If you need one we do not have, they cover more.
uplika vs Ayrshare
Ayrshare has no free tier; the entry plan is a 28-day trial and then $149 a month for one social profile. Its MCP server authenticates with the same API key the REST API uses, passed as a bearer header. Ours issues a token through an OAuth authorization server instead, so nothing is pasted into the agent. You may see Ayrshare quoted at $49 a month elsewhere, including one of Upload-Post's pages; we cite the $149 on Ayrshare's own pricing page.

uplika vs Postiz
Postiz is the only one here you can run yourself. It is AGPL-3.0 and the project states there is currently no feature difference between the hosted and self-hosted versions, though the cloud plans cap connected channels and self-hosting does not. Its MCP server exposes thirteen tools to agents and accepts an API key or an OAuth token, but it publishes no OAuth discovery metadata, so an agent cannot register itself the way it does with ours. Its homepage counts 30+ channels and its documentation 34; we cite the documentation figure.

uplika vs zernio
zernio is the closest to us in shape: usage-based per connected account, free for the first two, and a hosted MCP server that accepts OAuth. It is also listed in the official MCP registry. Its own pages count its channels as 14, 15 and 16 in different places and its tool count as 280+ or 496, so we cite the documentation figure and note the disagreement rather than picking one.

uplika vs Blotato
Blotato is the name you meet most often in lists of social media MCP servers, many of them on its own blog. It has no permanent free plan: every plan starts with a 7-day trial, and Starter is $29 a month with a cap of 20 social accounts. Its hosted MCP server accepts OAuth or an API key; the docs do not describe dynamic client registration. Its homepage says the MCP needs no auth headers while its docs describe an API key header, so we cite the docs. We leave its tool count unconfirmed because its own tool list does not add up to its headings.

uplika vs Buffer
Buffer is a scheduling app first. It keeps a free plan (3 channels, 10 scheduled posts each) and prices paid plans per channel, from $5 a month billed yearly. Its developer docs say the hosted MCP server takes an API key in an Authorization header; a Buffer article describes OAuth, so we cite the docs and note the difference. The docs give no channel count; 12 is the list on its homepage and pricing page.

uplika vs Upload-Post
Upload-Post keeps a permanent free tier (10 uploads a month, no card) and prices paid plans by profile, from $24 a month. Its Claude page says the hosted MCP server signs in with OAuth, its llms.txt says API key or OAuth, and its MCP repository uses an API key, so we list both. Its own pages give 22 platforms, 14 (MCP repository) or name 13 (docs), and 50 or 58 tools; we cite 22 and 50, the figures it states most often. The MCP server code is MIT-licensed; the service itself is not stated as open source.
