What is Planable?
Planable's platform turn: MCP, public API, and AI-search visibility all shipped on the same day.
Planable's last month split into two clear phases. April was calendar polish — display options, post status labels on cards, compact view, drag-to-timeslot — finishing the core scheduling surface. May 25 then dropped three platform-level changes in one day: an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT, the company's first public API, and an AI search visibility module in Analytics tracking brand mentions across OpenAI, Perplexity, Google, and Gemini.
What is Postiz?
Open-source social scheduler adding platforms and patching security, no big swings
Postiz is in steady maintenance mode in this window. The releases cover a new MeWe social integration (v2.21.0), two security-advisory fixes urging immediate upgrade (v2.21.3), and a small Stripe-config bugfix (v2.20.2). Incremental platform breadth plus security upkeep, no architectural moves.

Planable's platform turn: MCP, public API, and AI-search visibility all shipped on the same day.
◆ Current state
Planable's last month split into two clear phases. April was calendar polish — display options, post status labels on cards, compact view, drag-to-timeslot — finishing the core scheduling surface. May 25 then dropped three platform-level changes in one day: an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT, the company's first public API, and an AI search visibility module in Analytics tracking brand mentions across OpenAI, Perplexity, Google, and Gemini.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is reshaping from a closed social media scheduler into an open content platform that's both programmable and AI-accessible. The May 25 stack isn't three separate features — it's one thesis: Planable assumes agencies and brands now interact with the system through code (API), AI assistants (MCP), and AI search engines (visibility snapshot), not only through the web UI. The earlier calendar polish supplied the foundation; this is the platform turn.
◆ Prediction
Expect the AI visibility module to become a paid pillar tied to the Analytics add-on and SE Ranking's data, and for MCP plus the public API to drive agency workflows where AI handles intake and Planable enforces approvals — a model Planable already framed in the MCP release.

◆ Current state
Postiz is in steady maintenance mode in this window. The releases cover a new MeWe social integration (v2.21.0), two security-advisory fixes urging immediate upgrade (v2.21.3), and a small Stripe-config bugfix (v2.20.2). Incremental platform breadth plus security upkeep, no architectural moves.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is breadth-and-stability: adding supported social networks one at a time while closing security and billing-config gaps. Nothing here signals a shift in product direction; it reads as a self-hosted scheduler steadily widening platform coverage and hardening the deployment.
◆ Prediction
Expect more incremental social-platform integrations and routine security and billing patches. No directional change is visible in these entries.
