Postiz vs Metricool
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Postiz and Metricool — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Postiz vs Metricool: at a glance
What is Postiz?
Postiz's recent cadence is mostly security patching, with one new network added
Postiz is an open-source social-media scheduling tool, and its recent releases skew toward security: two of the last four are urgent vulnerability patches users are told to apply immediately. The non-security work is incremental — a MeWe integration and a Stripe configuration fix.
What is Metricool?
One real Metricool update this period sits buried in a stream of marketing blog posts
The tracked feed is dominated by Metricool's marketing blog, growth-tool roundups, trend pieces, and tutorials, with a single genuine product update in the mix. That update extends Metricool Studio and Campaign Dashboards and, notably, adds full post-and-interaction data for LinkedIn personal profiles, not only the posts published through Metricool.

Postiz
2.5MARKETING
Postiz's recent cadence is mostly security patching, with one new network added
◆ Current state
Postiz is an open-source social-media scheduling tool, and its recent releases skew toward security: two of the last four are urgent vulnerability patches users are told to apply immediately. The non-security work is incremental — a MeWe integration and a Stripe configuration fix.
◆ Where it's heading
For a self-hosted product, this security-forward cadence is the story: keeping the deployment safe matters as much as features. Integration breadth grows slowly alongside the patching, MeWe being the latest network added.
◆ Prediction
Expect the alternating pattern to continue — periodic security releases punctuated by added social networks and integration fixes. Nothing in these entries signals a larger feature pivot.
Metricool
5.0MARKETING
One real Metricool update this period sits buried in a stream of marketing blog posts
◆ Current state
The tracked feed is dominated by Metricool's marketing blog, growth-tool roundups, trend pieces, and tutorials, with a single genuine product update in the mix. That update extends Metricool Studio and Campaign Dashboards and, notably, adds full post-and-interaction data for LinkedIn personal profiles, not only the posts published through Metricool.
◆ Where it's heading
On the product side, Metricool is deepening analytics coverage, pulling in native platform data (all of a LinkedIn profile's posts) rather than only first-party published content, and building out reporting through Studio and Campaign Dashboards. The blog cadence signals heavy content-marketing investment but reveals little about the product itself.
◆ Prediction
Expect analytics coverage to keep broadening toward more networks' native post data and further Campaign Dashboard reporting; the blog-heavy feed means product signal will stay sparse.
