A side-by-side editorial comparison of Pallyy and Postiz — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Pallyy ships small, steady polish for agency social scheduling — but its feed has gone quiet since late 2025.
Pallyy is a social-media scheduling tool with an agency and client-collaboration bent. The recent releases are consistently small, user-requested quality-of-life improvements: client self-connect links, smoother post creation and media upload, shared-calendar tweaks, and Instagram-specific options (3:4 crop, Reels audio renaming, shoppable posts). There's no large feature in the window — this is a mature product on incremental polish. Notably, the changelog's most recent entry is from December 2025, so the public feed has been quiet for months.
Postiz encrypts channel tokens and lets agents hand out channel-connect links
The 13 November release adds opt-in encryption of channel tokens at rest (local key or AWS KMS), connect links that let the public API or an MCP agent send someone a link to add a channel, Amazon SES for email and 20-item Instagram carousels with alt text. It also closes two access-control holes: plain members could call billing routes, and post saves could carry another organization's ids. October's release added preview comments and a self-hosted MCP connector.

Two threads run through the work: sharpening the core posting flow and deepening agency/client collaboration (shared calendars, client-connect links, disconnection alerts). Instagram remains the priority network, with several format-specific features. The trajectory is refinement of an established product rather than expansion into new surfaces — and the recent publishing gap makes the near-term direction hard to read from the feed alone.
The signal is thin: with no changelog entries since December 2025, there isn't enough recent activity to predict a confident next move. If shipping resumes at the prior cadence, more agency-collaboration and Instagram-format features are the most likely continuation — but the quiet feed is worth flagging.

Security and agent access now ship together. Each release hardens the self-hosted install while giving MCP agents and the API more of the workflow, from preview links in October to onboarding a client's channel in November.
Expect more MCP and API actions around client onboarding and review, and further access-control audits given two fixes in this release alone.
