Frequently asked questions

Postally vs Hopper HQ, answered.

Hopper HQ focuses on visual Instagram planning and bulk scheduling. Postally is AI-first: it generates captions, hashtags, and images, analyzes competitors, and exposes everything through an API and MCP server so AI agents can manage your social media.

Postally offers post previews, but Hopper HQ’s drag-and-drop grid planner is more specialized for visual feed curation. If a perfect grid is your top priority, Hopper HQ is strong there.

Yes. Postally ships an MCP server, so agents like Claude can plan content, draft posts, and schedule them across platforms — something Hopper HQ does not offer.

Postally supports Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, and Facebook today, with LinkedIn, Pinterest, and YouTube on the roadmap.
