The product targets users who need posts created by apps, workflow tools, or AI agents rather than manual dashboard entry.", "body_md": "# RecurPost Alternative With a Real Publishing API\n\n[ Start free →](https://app.schedpilot.com/api-access) Scheduling you can call from code.\n\nSchedPilot 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.\n\n## The difference in one call\n\n```\ncurl -X POST https://api.schedpilot.com/developers/v1/post \\\n  -H \"X-API-KEY: $SCHEDPILOT_KEY\" \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\n    \"content\": \"Published by a script, not a person.\",\n    \"date\": \"2026-08-11\",\n    \"time\": \"08:00\",\n    \"timezone\": \"America/New_York\",\n    \"accounts\": [{\"id\": 1234, \"type\": \"twitter\"}]\n  }'\n```\n\nYou 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](https://docs.schedpilot.com/docs/).\n\n## Agents, not just scripts\n\nInstall [ schedpilot-mcp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/schedpilot-mcp) and set\n\n`SCHEDPILOT_TOKEN`\n\n. Claude or any MCP-compatible agent then has six tools: `get_accounts`\n\n, `create_post`\n\n, `list_posts`\n\n, `delete_post`\n\n, `upload_media`\n\n, and post analytics. That is a genuinely different way to run an account — the agent drafts, schedules, and reports back.## Honest comparison\n\n| RecurPost | SchedPilot | |\n|---|---|---|\n| Entry price | From $9/mo | From $21/mo |\n| Evergreen recycling | Core strength | Not a dedicated feature |\n| Networks | 10, incl. Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, GBP | 6 |\n| Public posting API | None publicly documented | Included on every plan |\n| MCP server for AI agents | — | `schedpilot-mcp` |\n\n**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.\n\n## Switch if\n\nYou 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.\n\nPlans run $21 / $35 / $49 / $79 per month on annual billing, all including API access.
