Postial comparisons · September 2026
For agencies whose clients publish on Bluesky, Mastodon and Telegram: login-free client approvals, visible publishing errors and retries, and one monthly agency price. X and Threads are next, subject to developer approvals.
Starter €19/month · Agency €49/month · including VAT · 14 days free · cancel anytime
Postial 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.
