PostLake vs Postproxy

The Postproxy alternative
with guardrails on every agent.

Postproxy and PostLake are aimed at the same person: someone whose software, not their hands, is doing the posting. The differences are in how you are billed and in how much control you keep once an agent is running.

No card for the free tier · 20 credits a month · full MCP access

Short version: choose Postproxy if you need Telegram or Google Business, or if billing per profile suits how you are shaped. Choose PostLake if you post a lot from few brands, or you want to limit what each agent can do.

Why developers & agents pick PostLake

Start free, pay for what you post

A free tier with 20 credits, no card. Then usage-based credits, one per post (X costs more, since X is the only network that charges us). Low-volume projects pay a fraction of a flat monthly seat.

Agent-first, not agent-also

A hosted MCP server built for agents, idempotency keys so a retrying agent never double-posts, and one normalised response an agent can reason over. Built for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client.

Managed keys, no app setup

PostLake manages every platform connection for you, X included. No developer apps to register, no per-platform review queues to babysit. Connect an account and post.

One response for every network

Publish to many accounts in one call and get back a single normalised shape, one post id and a per-target result, so you never branch your code per platform.

Where Postproxy is the better fit

We'd rather be honest than oversell. Postproxy is the better choice when:

You need Telegram or Google Business. Both are on their list and not on ours.
You manage many brands with light volume. Per-profile billing rewards that shape, and per-post credits do not.
Sandbox mode matters to you. They offer one for testing without touching a live account.

A worked pricing example

The two models pull in opposite directions, and neither is wrong. It depends whether you have more brands or more posts.

Scenario: one brand, posting daily	PostLake	Postproxy
Model	Credits per post	Subscription per profile
Entry	Free, then $13/mo	Free 10 posts, then $17/mo
Many posts, one brand	Cheaper here	Pays per profile regardless
Many brands, few posts	Credits still spent per post	Cheaper there

Work out which axis you actually grow along. If it is posts, credits are kinder; if it is brands, per-profile is. Verify both sets of current pricing before deciding. (Verify current figures on Postproxy's pricing page before relying on them, July 2026.)

Switching from Postproxy

Both are API-first, so switching is mostly mechanical:

Create a free PostLake account and connect your social accounts. No developer apps to register, since platform keys are managed for you.
Point your integration at PostLake. Use the REST API with a Bearer key, or connect your AI agent to the hosted MCP server over OAuth.
Map the response. PostLake returns one normalised shape, a post id plus a per-target result, so most integrations need only light changes.

Common questions

Is PostLake cheaper than Postproxy?

It depends on your shape. PostLake is cheaper if you post a lot from a few brands. Postproxy is cheaper if you manage many brands that each post rarely.

Do both work with AI agents?

Both offer an MCP server. PostLake adds per-agent limits, so one agent can be restricted without restricting the account, and access can be revoked in a click.

Which networks differ?

Postproxy has Telegram and Google Business, which PostLake does not. The rest of the major networks are on both.
