Postiz vs SendPortal: at a glance
What is Postiz?
Postiz is maturing from scheduler into collaborative, agent-reachable publishing infrastructure.
Postiz ships large, infrequent releases, roughly every two months. The latest, v2.25, adds threaded comments on post previews, a self-hosted MCP connector, a responsive layout pass, and a sweep of 50+ provider fixes that turn opaque failures into readable, correctly retried errors. The previous release focused on memory-efficient streamed uploads and duplicate-post protection.
What is SendPortal?
SendPortal resurfaces with a v4 patch release, its first tag since 2020.
SendPortal's last tagged release before this month was v1.0.3 in July 2020. On October 22 it published v4.0.0.1, which fixes sp:install skipping migrations on fresh installs and a route-caching failure from a duplicate logout route. The changelog link implies a v4.0.0 release just before it, which isn't in the tracked entries.

Postiz
2.5MKT AUTO
Postiz is maturing from scheduler into collaborative, agent-reachable publishing infrastructure.
◆ Current state
Postiz ships large, infrequent releases, roughly every two months. The latest, v2.25, adds threaded comments on post previews, a self-hosted MCP connector, a responsive layout pass, and a sweep of 50+ provider fixes that turn opaque failures into readable, correctly retried errors. The previous release focused on memory-efficient streamed uploads and duplicate-post protection.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through the releases: operational reliability for self-hosters (streaming, retry semantics, security patches) and opening the product to AI clients through MCP. Review workflows like preview comments point at team and agency use rather than solo scheduling.
◆ Prediction
The next release likely deepens MCP coverage and approval-style collaboration around previews; the cadence suggests it lands in roughly two months.
SendPortal
2.5MKT AUTO
SendPortal resurfaces with a v4 patch release, its first tag since 2020.
◆ Current state
SendPortal's last tagged release before this month was v1.0.3 in July 2020. On October 22 it published v4.0.0.1, which fixes sp:install skipping migrations on fresh installs and a route-caching failure from a duplicate logout route. The changelog link implies a v4.0.0 release just before it, which isn't in the tracked entries.
◆ Where it's heading
A major version followed by fixes to the installer suggests the project is active again and new installs are being tested. With two tagged releases six years apart, there's no cadence to read yet.
◆ Prediction
If v4 is a real revival, more point releases should follow within weeks; another long silence would mean v4 was a one-off.
