How is PostZen different from the Post Bridge API?

Post Bridge documents API access as a $5 add-on for active subscribers. PostZen centers the product on REST API calls for connect, media, accounts, profiles, and posts.

What's the cross-posting restriction about?

Post Bridge blocks you from posting the same content to multiple accounts on the same platform. This breaks legitimate use cases like franchise operations or multi-brand portfolios. PostZen has no such restriction - you control what you post where.

Can I use PostZen for multi-platform posting?

Yes. The /v1/posts API accepts multiple platform targets in one request, with custom content per target where needed.

How does pricing compare?

Post Bridge's $29/mo Creator plan requires a $5/mo API add-on = $34/mo just for 1-10 accounts. PostZen is usage-based with API included on every account: free up to 2 accounts, then $6/account (1-10), $3/account (11-100), $1/account (101-2,000), custom pricing for 2,001+. 10 accounts on PostZen: $48/mo. Post Bridge can be cheaper at certain scales, but PostZen gives you a real free tier, no $5 add-on gate and no cross-posting blocks

The Post Bridge Alternative for API First Publishing

Postb Bridge is a UI scheduler with an API tacked on. PostZen gives developers and agents instant API access for account connection, media upload, and post creation. First 2 accounts free, usage-based after that.

// Simple API key authentication
fetch('https://api.postzen.dev/v1/posts', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer POSTZEN_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    platforms: ['instagram', 'twitter', 'linkedin'],
    content: 'Hello world!'
  })
})

Post Bridge starts from a scheduler. PostZen starts from an API.

Post Bridge features dashboard-led cross-posting, one account per platform per post, and API access as a paid add-on for subscribers.
