Twenty dollars covers five channels and one seat. Adding a sixth network is a plan decision, not a surprise invoice mid month.
For indie hackers
One calendar for the launch and everything after.
You ship alone, so the marketing has to fit between deploys. A flat price, a queue that keeps posting and an API for the parts you would rather script is the whole ask.
- Team you, and nobody else
- Rhythm build in public daily
- Price $20 flat
The problem
What a solo launch usually costs
- A launch day post needs to exist while you are still fixing the build.
- Three tools for scheduling, analytics and links is three bills and three logins.
- Per-channel upgrades arrive right when a side project starts to work.
- Posting by hand every morning competes with the actual product work.
What fits
What one person can automate
The API and the MCP server are on the cheapest plan, so a cron job or a Claude Code session can publish without an upgrade.
The post checker flags a caption that will be cut off or a platform field that is missing, before it reaches the queue.
Export what you need and keep the account portable. Nothing in the workflow depends on a proprietary format.
Plan fit
What the first month costs
Standard
$20 / month
Five channels and one seat is the shape of a solo launch: your product, X, LinkedIn, a blog and one more network.
Straight answers
What solo builders will miss
- There is no free plan. The trial runs seven days and does not ask for a card.
- No content generator. You write the post, the checker improves it.
- No built-in landing pages or link shortener, so keep your existing stack for that.

Launch notes from the blog
Strategy Thirteenth on Product Hunt and I barely lifted a finger PostSider finished thirteenth of the day on Product Hunt with 90 upvotes, no launch video, no team, and no whitelist. This is the honest version of that launch. Strategy Typefully Alternative: When X Is Not Enough Typefully is the best X drafting tool there is. Here is what a setup costs, which networks it does not reach, and the workflow for people who publish on six. Developers Buffer API Retirement: What Developers Use Next Buffer retires its legacy REST API on February 1, 2027. What still works (the GraphQL API and MCP server), the brownout dates, and a migration decision table.
FAQ
Questions from solo founders
What happens after the seven-day trial?
You pick a plan to keep publishing. Nothing is charged automatically, and the account keeps its channels if you upgrade later.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The trial starts without payment details. A card is only needed when you choose a paid plan.
Can I publish from my own script instead of the UI?
Yes. The organization key works against /public/v1 as soon as the account exists, and the MCP server wraps the same endpoints if you prefer an agent.
Is a free tier planned?
Not today. The honest trade is a real trial and a low flat price rather than a free plan with a channel cap that breaks at the worst moment.
