RecurPost Alternative With a Real Publishing API

SchedPilot launches as a social media scheduler with a documented publishing API and MCP server, enabling programmatic posting from code or AI agents, while RecurPost lacks a publicly documented posting API. SchedPilot starts at $21 per month on annual billing with API access included on every plan, supporting six networks, compared to RecurPost's $9 per month entry price and ten networks. The product targets users who need posts created by apps, workflow tools, or AI agents rather than manual dashboard entry.

Start free → Scheduling you can call from code.

SchedPilot is a social media scheduler with a documented publishing API and an MCP server, so your own software — or an AI agent — can create and schedule posts. RecurPost has no publicly documented posting API; it is built for people working inside the dashboard. If you need programmatic posting, that is the gap this fills.

The difference in one call #

curl -X POST https://api.schedpilot.com/developers/v1/post \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $SCHEDPILOT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "content": "Published by a script, not a person.",
    "date": "2026-08-11",
    "time": "08:00",
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "accounts": [{"id": 1234, "type": "twitter"}]
  }'

You still get the calendar, the composer, media library, workspaces, and analytics — the API sits alongside the product rather than replacing it. Docs: docs.schedpilot.com.

Agents, not just scripts #

Install schedpilot-mcp and set

SCHEDPILOT_TOKEN

. Claude or any MCP-compatible agent then has six tools: get_accounts

, create_post

, list_posts

, delete_post

, upload_media

, and post analytics. That is a genuinely different way to run an account — the agent drafts, schedules, and reports back.## Honest comparison

RecurPost SchedPilot
Entry price From $9/mo From $21/mo
Evergreen recycling Core strength Not a dedicated feature
Networks 10, incl. Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, GBP 6
Public posting API None publicly documented Included on every plan
MCP server for AI agents schedpilot-mcp

RecurPost is cheaper to start and covers more networks. If evergreen content recycling is the job — a library you rotate on a schedule forever — that is what RecurPost is built around, and switching for the API alone would be a downgrade for that workflow.

Switch if #

You want posts created by your own app, a workflow tool, or an AI agent rather than typed into a calendar; you need X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, or Threads specifically; or you are an agency wanting 20–100 accounts with API access included rather than sold separately.

Plans run $21 / $35 / $49 / $79 per month on annual billing, all including API access. Seven-day free trial, no charge during the trial.
