The short version
Postmately is an agentic social media studio: paste your website and it plans a month of posts, renders the carousels and videos, publishes them to your own accounts through official APIs after your approval, and reports the numbers back.
Buy it if
Your channels are TikTok, YouTube, Telegram, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon or VK, and you want a month of content handled with one approval step — or you already run an AI agent you want posting for you over MCP.
Skip it if
Instagram or Facebook is your main channel — those integrations are still in platform review, so the tool cannot serve the accounts that matter most to you yet.
What Postmately does — the jobs it finishes
Workflows are built only from verified capabilities in our listing research — no vendor copy, nothing invented.
A month of content from one link
Starts You paste your website link
- Postmately reads your site — product, audience, tone and competitors — and drafts a four-week plan with a brief for every post
- Each post is made a day before its date and lands in your approval queue
You get A month plan, then ready-to-approve carousels and videos
Approval Nothing publishes without your yes
The planning and making a social manager would charge a retainer for
Your coding agent runs the studio
Starts You connect the Postmately MCP server to Claude Code, Codex or Cursor with an API key
- The agent checks the credit balance, then makes a carousel (20 credits) or video (60), or imports finished files for free
- It schedules or publishes on your instruction and reads back views and comments
You get Posts made, scheduled and measured from your agent's chat
Approval The agent publishes when you tell it to — instruct it to confirm before publishing, spending credits or deleting a post
Social posting inside the agent workflow you already use, with no second dashboard habit
Autopilot with a one-tap yes
Starts Your month plan is running on autopilot
- Each post is made a day before its date and sent to you in Telegram or by email
- You approve it in one tap or skip it
You get A steady posting rhythm you only touch to approve
Approval An autopilot post is not published without your yes
Consistency without giving up control of your own channels
Hand the making to their team
Starts You choose Partly or Fully done for you
- The vendor's team makes the month's posts — 30 on Partly, 60 on Fully — with human spot checks, or a check on every post on Fully
- Posts run through your plan and queue with a monthly or weekly report
You get Finished posts and reports, with human checking stated per tier
Approval Partly keeps your approval in the loop; on Fully, a person checks every post before it goes out
The SMM-manager outcome without hiring one
Where it stops
- Does not generate images — slides render from your photos or a licensed stock pack
- Cannot post to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn or Threads yet — those platforms are still in platform review (vendor-stated)
- Does not promise results: the vendor guarantees delivery of the posts ordered, not what the content earns
Getting started
Before you start
- A website link for the plan (or a clear offer to describe)
- Your own accounts on the channels you want to use — you keep the logins
- Optionally, an MCP-capable agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) and an API key from Settings
The ongoing admin
- Approve or skip drafts as they arrive — the queue is the job
- Watch the credit balance (20 per carousel, 60 per video)
- Read the per-post numbers weekly and steer the next plan
Step 1Start free
Create the free plan — no card — and paste your website link.
Step 2Review the four-week plan
Check the briefs against your offer, audience and tone before anything is made.
Step 3Connect up to five channels free
Each account connects on the platform's own login screen; Postmately never sees your password.
Step 4Approve the first drafts
Carousels and videos arrive in the queue a day ahead; approve, edit, comment or send back.
Step 5Optionally hand it to your agent
Create an API key and add the MCP server to your agent client to run the loop from chat.

What could make the bill jump?
The credit meter is plain (20 per carousel, 60 per video, imports free), but the real jump is the service ladder: letting the vendor's team make the posts moves you from $59 to $179 a month, and a human check on every post takes it to $359. Pricing for extra credits beyond a plan's allowance was not published on the checked page.
Billing unitper month (credits included per plan; a carousel costs 20 credits, a video 60)
Free tier / trialYes — a free plan with a content plan, 120 credits (3 carousels and 1 video) and up to 5 channels; no card required.
Pricing clarityClear flat price
Price record · 2026-11-07: First check, 2026-11-07, on the vendor's official page (postmately.com/en, pricing section): Free $0 with 120 credits (3 carousels and 1 video) and up to 5 channels; AI Autopilot $59/month with 6,000 credits; Partly done for you $179/month; Fully done for you $359/month (a first-month $179 offer for the first 3 companies is a limited promotion, not the plan price); Managed $790/month; carousel 20 credits, video 60. The figures match the vendor's own /submit submissions of 2026-11-06 exactly — the page was treated as the source of record and no discrepancy was found. The vendor FAQ mentions a yearly Autopilot subscription but publishes no yearly price, so none is recorded.

Our assessment of Postmately
As of November 2026, Postmately is an agentic social media studio with two doors into the same loop. From the dashboard, you paste your website link and it reads what you sell, who buys it, how you sound and what your competitors do, then drafts a four-week plan with a brief for every post. It renders 1080×1920 carousels in your brand colours with captions and hashtags, and short videos from a topic, a template or your own footage; finished files you already have can be imported and published free. Everything from the dashboard or autopilot waits in an approval queue for your yes, then goes out through each platform's official API into accounts you own, and views and comments come back next to each post. The second door is for agent-first owners: 24 MCP tools plus a REST API, included on every plan, let Claude Code, Codex or Cursor run the whole loop — checking the credit balance, making assets, scheduling, publishing on your instruction and reading the numbers. The honest limits matter as much as the loop: live channels today are TikTok, YouTube, Telegram, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon and VK, while Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Threads are still in platform review; and the tool does not generate images — slides render from your photos or licensed stock. Pricing runs from a free starter (120 credits, five channels, no card) through AI Autopilot at $59/month to done-for-you tiers where the vendor's team makes the posts, up to $790/month.
Pros — our take
- Approval is structural: dashboard and autopilot posts wait for your yes, and publishing runs through official APIs into accounts you own
- The free plan tests the whole loop — plan, 3 carousels, 1 video, 5 channels — with no card
- Your own agent can drive it: 24 MCP tools and an API on every plan, with transparent per-render credit costs
- An honest done-for-you ladder exists when you want humans making the posts, with human checks stated per tier
Cons — our take
- Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Threads are not live yet — still in platform review, which excludes the channels many solo businesses rely on most
- No AI image generation: visuals come from your photos or licensed stock, so owners without a photo library start thinner
- The vendor guarantees delivery of the posts ordered, not results — reach and enquiries are explicitly on you and the platform

Solo Fit stays the public score: the qualitative roll-up of these four published inputs under the How We Rank method. A five-minute, no-card, no-code start and a strict approval model carry it.
Three to compare before you decide
The difference: Copy.ai writes marketing copy and runs go-to-market workflows; Postmately finishes and publishes the social posts themselves — carousels, videos, scheduling and the numbers afterwards.
Jasper$69/mo · Small-Team Ready The difference: Jasper is an enterprise marketing-content platform priced for teams; Postmately is solo-priced from free, approval-first, and built to be driven by your own agent over MCP.
The difference: Sintra sells a bundle of twelve packaged AI helpers — social among them — on sale-dependent pricing; Postmately is one deep social loop (plan, make, approve, publish, measure) at flat published prices.
Questions buyers ask about Postmately
What does Postmately cost for one person as of November 2026?
Free is $0 with a content plan, 120 credits (3 carousels and 1 video) and up to 5 channels, no card. The working solo tier is AI Autopilot at $59/month with 6,000 credits — roughly a carousel and a video a day. Human-made tiers run $179 (Partly), $359 (Fully) and $790 (Managed) a month.
Which platforms can it actually post to today?
Live for your own accounts: TikTok, YouTube, Telegram channels, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon and VK. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Threads are still in platform review and cannot be posted to yet — the vendor states this plainly on its own page.
Will anything publish without my approval?
Not from the dashboard or autopilot: every draft waits in your queue for a yes. An agent connected over MCP publishes when you instruct it to, so tell your agent to confirm before publishing, spending credits or deleting a post.
Does Postmately generate the images for carousels?
No. Slides are rendered in your brand colours from your own photos or a licensed stock pack, and videos are cut from topics, templates or your own footage. If your agent already made finished files, importing and publishing them costs no generation credits.
Can my AI agent run it end to end?
Yes — one MCP connection exposes 24 tools (plan items, carousels, videos, imports, posts, analytics and the credit balance) plus a REST API, included on every plan. Claude Code, Codex and Cursor work today; ChatGPT and Claude.ai connectors need OAuth, which the vendor lists as a next step.
