Postgale vs Outstand
Outstand is a unified social media API for AI agents and the products around them: 12 platforms, an MCP server with 28 tools, signed webhooks, idempotency keys and usage-based pricing from $19 a month for 3,000 posts with unlimited connected accounts. Postgale focuses on keeping a person in control of the agent: approval set per workspace, account, key or app, a queue for comment replies and DMs as well as posts, OAuth sign-in for ChatGPT and Claude, and an audit log. Outstand covers LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest and X and publishes its prices.
What is the difference between Postgale and Outstand?
Postgale is the secure layer for AI agents on social media. Agents publish through its REST API and MCP server; a person decides where approval applies, and every write is recorded in an audit log.
Outstand describes itself as “the unified social media API for AI agents”: one call posts to 12 platforms, with one data model, queued and retried rate limits, webhooks, media processing, scheduling and cross-platform analytics. Managed Keys cover 8 networks; on X, Google Business Profile, Vimeo and Reddit you register your own app first.
Postgale vs Outstand side by side
As of October 2026. Outstand facts come only from Outstand’s own pages, linked under Sources.
| Postgale | Outstand | |
|---|---|---|
| MCP server | Hosted at postgale.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP); 70 tools, each annotated as read-only, write or destructive | 28 tools to post, schedule, reply, upload media, read analytics and manage accounts; set up with an API key and a config snippet |
| Agent authentication | OAuth 2.1 sign-in, so ChatGPT, claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code connect with the URL alone; or an API key as a bearer header (n8n, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, your own agent). Sign-in tokens work on the MCP server only; the REST API uses API keys | API key as a bearer token (api.outstand.so/v1) |
| Platforms | Instagram, Facebook Pages, Threads, TikTok, Bluesky and Mastodon; WhatsApp Business messaging. X, Telegram and Discord are coming soon, as are Reddit and ads | X, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, YouTube, Pinterest, Google Business, Vimeo and Reddit; X, Google Business, Vimeo and Reddit need your own app |

| Human approval | Set by a person in the dashboard per workspace, account, API key or signed-in app. Posts wait as pending approval; comment replies and moderation, DMs, WhatsApp sends and edits to live posts are queued for a person. Approving is dashboard-only: the key the agent holds cannot approve its own work | Not described on the pages checked |
| Audit log and webhooks | Every write through the API or MCP is recorded in the workspace audit log with the key or app that made it; webhooks signed with HMAC-SHA256 | Signed, retried, ordered webhooks; idempotency keys; an audit log is not described on the pages checked |
| Pricing | Not published yet (early access; write to [email protected]) | Pay as you go $19/month with 3,000 posts, then $0.007 per post to 10,000 and $0.005 beyond; Business $129/month with 50,000 posts; unlimited connected accounts |
When should you pick Outstand, and when Postgale?
Pick Outstand if you are building a product on top of a posting API: usage-based pricing with unlimited accounts, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Vimeo or X, white-label OAuth screens with your own apps, and published uptime and latency figures.
Pick Postgale if the agent itself is the user: if a person, not the agent, must decide what needs approval and the agent cannot switch it off; if replies, comment moderation and direct messages should wait in the same queue as posts; and if you want an audit log of every agent action from day one. Postgale also covers WhatsApp Business and Mastodon.
