Managed Postiz Hosting — production-ready from $15 a month
Open-source social media scheduling and management platform. Deployed on your own dedicated instance in AWS, Azure, or GCP, kept patched, backed up, and monitored by ManageStacks — standard Postiz, no lock-in.
Postiz is a self-hosted social media management platform for scheduling posts, managing multiple accounts, and analyzing engagement across platforms. ManageStacks deploys Postiz with PostgreSQL, Redis, and background workers pre-configured.
What does Postiz do, and why do teams deploy it?
Postiz is an open-source alternative to Buffer and Hootsuite that lets marketing teams schedule, publish, and analyze social media content across multiple platforms from a single dashboard. It supports Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and more — all without paying per-seat SaaS fees or surrendering your social media credentials to a third party.
The platform includes a visual content calendar, bulk scheduling, AI-powered caption suggestions, link shortening with analytics, team collaboration with approval workflows, and per-platform post customization. Postiz tracks engagement metrics and provides analytics dashboards so teams can measure what works without exporting data to separate tools.
ManageStacks deploys Postiz with PostgreSQL for data persistence, Redis for job queuing and caching, and managed TLS. Background workers handle scheduled publishing reliably, and automatic backups protect your content calendar and analytics history.

Open-source social media scheduling and management platform
Postiz as a self-hosted alternative to Buffer and Hootsuite
Instead of paying per-seat fees to a SaaS vendor, teams self-host Postiz to keep full control of their data and infrastructure. ManageStacks removes the operational overhead — you get the cost and privacy benefits of open source with the reliability of a managed platform.
What does managed Postiz hosting cost?
Flat per-app pricing, in your chosen AWS, Azure, or GCP region. No per-user pricing — a busy deployment costs the same as a quiet one.
Starter
Staging and internal tools. Dedicated instance, TLS, daily backups, managed upgrades.
Standard
Production workloads. Adds monitoring, staging environment, region choice, priority support.
Business
High-traffic and compliance workloads. Adds a high-availability replica and same-day support.
24×7 SRE retainer
Round-the-clock on-call across every hosted application, for teams that need a pager answered at 3am.
When is self-hosting Postiz the right answer instead?
“Managed hosting is not always the correct call.”
Self-host when a platform team already runs the infrastructure and on-call rotation to operate Postiz at genuinely low marginal cost. Self-host when compliance requires an air-gapped or on-premises deployment that no hosted option can satisfy. And self-host when the deployment depends on heavy customisation with a fast internal build-deploy loop, because an internal release process will beat any managed change process.
For everyone else — teams whose engineers have better things to do than shepherd upgrades — managed hosting is cheaper than the hours it replaces.
Which cloud should Postiz run on — AWS, Azure or GCP?
For most workloads, the choice of cloud matters less than proximity: run Postiz in the same cloud and region as the applications and data it talks to, because every request between them adds a round trip. The underlying compute performs equivalently across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
In practice, an existing cloud footprint decides it. All plans support all three clouds, and moving regions later is a scheduled migration, not a rebuild.
Deepest managed-service catalog, default when there's no existing footprint
Best fit for teams already on Microsoft 365 or Entra ID
Strongest for data/analytics-adjacent workloads
Every plan supports AWS, Azure, and GCP — region choice included.
