Early access

SocialMint is a young, early-access product. Publishing, client approvals, API and n8n are rolling out in September 2026; verify availability in your workspace before moving client work. Launch networks: X, Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram and Threads. LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook follow after platform approval.

SocialMint and Postiz, side by side

SocialMint prices are monthly in EUR including VAT. Vendor prices below are in USD; 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. Fifteen brands can require many more than fifteen accounts. 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.

Where SocialMint fits better

SocialMint fits teams that want a managed service hosted in Germany and a plan defined around brands and five teammates. Its Agency client approval links are designed for reviewers without accounts. Pilot the September rollout to confirm this workflow is available before relying on it.

Where Postiz fits better

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 SocialMint Agency’s five-user allowance. [1][2]

How to switch

  1. 1. Map one client first

    List the client’s profiles, formats, scheduled posts and reviewers. Check which integrations and early-access features are live in your SocialMint workspace.

  2. 2. Pilot the approval flow

    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.

  3. 3. Move only verified workflows

    Reconnect supported profiles and rebuild schedules in small batches. Remove duplicate scheduled posts in the old tool. Keep unsupported networks there until SocialMint support is available; no automatic history import is promised.

Frequently asked questions

Is SocialMint an open-source or self-hosted Postiz replacement?

SocialMint is presented here as a managed service hosted in Germany. Postiz offers an open-source self-hosting option; operating its server and integrations remains your responsibility.

Does Postiz Pro cover fifteen brands?

Pro lists 30 channels and unlimited team members for $49/month. Fifteen brands fit that account allowance only if they use at most 30 connected profiles combined; brands and channels are different units.

Is API automation unique to SocialMint?

No. Postiz documents a public API and custom n8n node. SocialMint Agency includes API + n8n in its September 2026 early-access rollout; verify readiness before migrating automations.

Can clients review SocialMint posts without signing up?

Login-free client approval links are part of the Agency offer rolling out in September 2026. Verify the feature in your workspace during the 14-day trial without a card. The checked Postiz sources do not establish an equivalent login-free review flow.
