Source-backed TryPost scope
TryPost’s official pricing page says one workspace includes all features and connects to all 10 social networks. TryPost lists the visible cloud plan at USD 16/month per workspace when billed annually, or USD 192/year. The page shows a 20% yearly saving and a 7-day free trial. Included features are all social networks, no listed scheduled-post cap, a visual content calendar, media library, post preview for all networks, no listed team-member cap, and chat support. The supported channels listed on pricing are Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn personal and company pages, X (Twitter), TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon. The pricing page says TryPost bills each additional workspace separately. It prices 3 workspaces at USD 48/month. TryPost’s terms describe it as an open-source social media scheduling platform available as a cloud-hosted SaaS and self-hosted open-source software. The terms say TryPost releases the software under FSL-1.1-MIT and self-hosting costs nothing. Users can inspect and audit source code, and self-hosted users maintain control of their data. The terms describe the service as scheduling and auto-publishing across multiple platforms, a drag-and-drop visual calendar, multi-platform account management, team collaboration, media library, and per-platform post preview. TryPost docs list API Reference for managing posts, signatures, and more via REST API. They also list Build with AI for connecting AI assistants through MCP.Comparison

Keep TryPost’s editorial schedule separate from X engagement collection. Store the TryPost workspace, social account, scheduled post ID, and planned time. After publication, add the returned X post URL and Tweet ID. Use Xquik to verify the public tweet after TryPost reports publication. Fetch the Tweet ID, text, author, media, reply count, repost count, and like count. A scheduler success state does not show engagement. Collect replies, quotes, reposts, and visible likers through their own Xquik routes. Store each collection time beside the scheduled post ID. You can then trace each post from editorial approval to public engagement.Schedule receipt
Keep the TryPost workspace, target network, scheduled post ID, planned
time, and reviewer. These fields prove what the team approved.
Publish reconciliation
Resolve the published Tweet ID. Fetch its text, author, media, and public
URL. Flag missing or changed fields for review.
Engagement collection
Export replies, quotes, reposts, and visible likers after publication. Keep the
Tweet ID and collection time with every file.
Ongoing alerts
Start an account or keyword monitor when alerts must continue after the schedule ends.
Deliver matched tweets through signed webhooks.
Verify a cloud or self-hosted TryPost trial
1
Choose the hosting boundary
Test either one cloud workspace or one self-hosted deployment. Record its
owner, backup path, update process, and connected social accounts.
2
Schedule 2 X posts
Schedule one text post and one media post. Keep each TryPost post ID,
planned time, destination account, caption, and media file.
3
Reconcile the published tweets
Store each returned X post URL and Tweet ID. Fetch both tweets through
Xquik. Compare text, author, media, and publication time.
4
Test one recovery path
Use a safe test account. Exercise one failed schedule, disconnected
account, or rejected media case. Record who fixed it and how long recovery took.
5
Price the operating model
For cloud, price every workspace. For self-hosting, price compute, storage,
backups, updates, queues, email, and social app maintenance.
Migration path
Xquik does not replace a 10-network scheduler. Keep TryPost when its calendar, workspaces, and multi-network publishing remain required. Add Xquik where the X workflow needs tweets, followers, replies, or monitors. Start with one scheduled X post. Keep its TryPost post ID and publish time. After publication, attach the Tweet ID and Xquik verification result. Then collect one reply or engagement export. Assign each job before expanding. TryPost runs the editorial calendar and cross-network schedule. Xquik runs the X read, export, monitor, and webhook steps your team selects. Measure the full monthly cost. Include TryPost workspaces or self-hosting. Add Xquik credits only for the X calls and active monitors used.Xquik API overview
