Postgale vs Upload-Post
Upload-Post is a posting API for 22 platforms with a free tier, an official n8n node, a Claude Code skill and an open-source MCP server with 50 tools that you use with an API key. Its focus is publishing everywhere, with analytics and media conversion. Postgale focuses on controlling what the agent does: approval set by people per workspace, account, key or app, a queue for replies and DMs as well as posts, OAuth sign-in for ChatGPT and Claude, and an audit log. Upload-Post covers many more platforms and publishes its prices.
What is the difference between Postgale and Upload-Post?
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.
Upload-Post describes itself as a social media posting API: one call posts to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and 19 more platforms, with scheduling, analytics, white-label options and automatic conversion of media to each platform’s specs. Its MCP server is hosted at mcp.upload-post.com, is open source and can be self-hosted with Docker.
Postgale vs Upload-Post side by side
As of October 2026. Upload-Post facts come only from Upload-Post’s own pages, linked under Sources.
| Postgale | Upload-Post | |
|---|---|---|
| MCP server | Hosted at postgale.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP); 70 tools, each annotated as read-only, write or destructive | Hosted at mcp.upload-post.com; 50 tools covering every public endpoint; open source; self-host with Docker |
| 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 | “Just paste your API key”; works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor; REST calls use an Authorization: Apikey … header |
| Automation tools | n8n through its HTTP Request and MCP Client Tool nodes; no dedicated node | Official n8n node; Make, Zapier, Airtable; a Claude Code skill |
| Platforms | Instagram, Facebook Pages, Threads, TikTok, Bluesky and Mastodon; WhatsApp Business messaging. X, Telegram and Discord are coming soon, as are Reddit and ads | 22: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Threads, Pinterest, Reddit, Bluesky, Google Business, Discord, Telegram, Slack, Mastodon, Nostr, Lemmy, Dev.to, Hashnode, WordPress, Whop and Listmonk |

| 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 | 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 | Not described on the pages checked |
| Pricing | Not published yet (early access; write to [email protected]) | Free: 10 uploads a month, 2 profiles. Annual billing: Basic $16/month (5 profiles), Professional $33 (25), Advanced $118 (75), Business $350 (225); links in X posts +$19/month |
When should you pick Upload-Post, and when Postgale?
Pick Upload-Post if you want to publish the same video or post to as many platforms as possible (YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, X, blogs and newsletters included), want an official n8n node, need media converted to each platform’s specs, want an MCP server you can audit or self-host, or want to start free.
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 lets the agent answer comments and direct messages, under the same approval rules.
