## 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.

## Current cost checkpoint

Use current TryPost pricing when the job is a social content calendar across 10 networks. Use Xquik units when the job needs X search results, follower exports, media uploads, DMs, monitors, signed webhooks, SDKs, exports, or MCP.

| Task | TryPost unit to price | Xquik unit to price |
| - | - | - |
| Run a cloud social scheduler | Workspace is USD 16/month when billed annually, or USD 192/year, with all features and 10 social networks included. TryPost bills extra workspaces separately. | Xquik Starter is USD 20/month with 140,000 included credits for tweet search, follower exports, write actions, monitors, webhooks, exports, SDKs, and MCP. |
| Self-host the scheduler | TryPost terms say self-hosting costs nothing under FSL-1.1-MIT. Price hosting, updates, queues, storage, email, and social app setup. | Xquik is hosted. Use REST, SDKs, webhooks, exports, MCP, and dashboard tools without running your own servers. |

| Use REST or MCP for social scheduling | TryPost docs list REST API reference for posts and signatures, plus MCP docs for AI assistants. | Xquik REST API, signed webhooks, SDKs, MCP, and CSV, JSON, XLSX & Markdown exports cover X only. |
| Search tweets or export followers | TryPost's public pricing does not list this task. Validate source-data and export needs before you build on it. | Search tweets and follower exports cost 1 credit/result, with CSV, JSON, XLSX, Markdown, API, SDK, and MCP handoff options. |
| Monitor X accounts or keywords | TryPost schedules and publishes posts. Validate alerting needs separately. | Active monitors check every 1 second and cost 21 credits per monitor-hour. Stored events and signed webhook delivery management are included. |

## Connect a TryPost schedule to Xquik reads

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.

## Verify a cloud or self-hosted TryPost trial

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Price the operating model">
    For cloud, price every workspace. For self-hosting, price compute, storage,
    backups, updates, queues, email, and social app maintenance.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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.
