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.
