Frequently asked questions

Postally vs Postcron, answered.

Postcron focuses on bulk scheduling and simple editing. Postally is AI-first: it generates original captions, hashtags, and images, analyzes competitors, and exposes everything through an API and MCP server so AI agents can plan and schedule your content.

Postally goes further — it generates original images from a prompt with AI, not just edits ones you upload. You can create on-brand visuals for a post without leaving the app.

Yes. Postally ships an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so agents like Claude can plan content, draft posts, and schedule them across platforms — something Postcron does not offer.
