A cheaper alternative to Postiz
Babs starts at $19.99/mo against Postiz's $29/mo — and adds an AI that builds the automation, not just the caption.
What you get in Babs
An AI that builds the automation, not just the caption
Describe a multi-step workflow in plain English and Babs assembles it as a real, editable flow — with approval gates on any step that touches the outside world.
29 connected apps, not just social networks
Beyond the usual networks, Babs connects to Notion, Slack, Airtable, Calendly, Make, Jira, Google Drive, Canva and more — so a post can be triggered by, or feed into, the tools you already run on.
Approval gates on anything consequential
Publishing, sending, and deleting can require a human decision before they run. Nothing irreversible happens because an AI decided it should.
Your own AI model choice
Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, or DeepSeek — pick the model per generation instead of being locked to whatever the vendor wired in.
An MCP server, so your own AI tools can drive it
Babs exposes its own tools over the Model Context Protocol, so Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client can operate your accounts directly.
When you should stay with Postiz
- Open-source roots with a large public GitHub following, so you can read the code and self-host rather than trusting a black box.
- A high channel ceiling on the top plan (up to 100 channels) for people managing many accounts at once.
- Unusual public transparency about their own business metrics, which some buyers value as a trust signal.
Postiz if self-hosting or open source matters to you. Babs if you want the AI to assemble multi-step automations, not just draft posts.
Switching from Postiz
Is Babs a good replacement for Postiz?
It depends on what you use Postiz for. Babs is strongest when you want AI to write and to assemble multi-step automations across 29 connected apps, with approval gates before anything publishes. Open-source roots with a large public GitHub following, so you can read the code and self-host rather than trusting a black box. If that's your main need, Postiz may still be the better fit — we'd rather say so than sell you the wrong tool.
How much does Babs cost compared to Postiz?
Babs starts at $19.99/mo with a free trial. Postiz's published entry plan is $29/mo, with no free tier listed (checked September 2026 — verify on their site, pricing changes).
Can I move my scheduled posts over from Postiz?
