# Blotato Alternative: Publishing API From $21/Month

[ Start free →](https://app.schedpilot.com/api-access) Scheduling infrastructure, priced like infrastructure.

SchedPilot is a publishing API and scheduler from $21/month, topping out at $79/month for 100 accounts. Blotato runs $29 to $499/month and is built primarily around AI content generation. Both ship an API and an MCP server — the difference is what you are buying and what it costs at scale.

## Price at the top matters most

| Blotato | SchedPilot | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | $29/mo | $21/mo |
| Top published tier | $499/mo | $79/mo (100 accounts, 10 seats) |
| Networks | 9 | 6 |
| REST API | Yes | Yes, every plan |
| MCP server | Yes | Yes |
| Built around | AI content generation | Scheduling + publishing |

## What you actually call

```
curl -X POST https://api.schedpilot.com/developers/v1/post \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $SCHEDPILOT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "content": "Your generator wrote it. We ship it.",
    "date": "2026-08-11",
    "time": "09:30",
    "accounts": [
      {"id": 1234, "type": "twitter"},
      {"id": 5678, "type": "linkedin"}
    ]
  }'
```

Plus `GET /accounts`

, `GET /posts`

, `DELETE /posts/{id}`

, media upload, per-post analytics, and webhooks. Rate limits published up front: 60 read, 30 write per hour, per user. [Full reference](https://docs.schedpilot.com/docs/).

## Bring your own generation

If you already have a content pipeline — your own prompts, your own model, an agent that writes in your voice — you do not need to pay for someone else’s generator on top. Install [ schedpilot-mcp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/schedpilot-mcp), set

`SCHEDPILOT_TOKEN`

, and your agent handles drafting while SchedPilot handles accounts, scheduling, and delivery. Gold plans and above do include AI generation credits if you want them.## Where Blotato wins

Nine networks to our six, and a much deeper AI content layer — video generation, viral-content tooling, and a generation workflow built for people who want the tool to write for them. **If you want AI to produce the content itself rather than just publish it, Blotato is the more complete product** and the price reflects that.

## Pick SchedPilot if

You already generate content and need reliable, cheap delivery; you want per-account costs that stay flat as you grow; or you are an agency where $499/month per seat-tier does not survive the margin math. $21 / $35 / $49 / $79 per month on annual billing, API on all of them, seven-day free trial with no charge during the trial.
