Postiz vs Single Grain: at a glance
What is Postiz?
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.
What is Single Grain?
Single Grain keeps publishing AI-for-marketing how-tos, not product changes
The Single Grain feed is agency blog content, not a changelog. The November 13 batch covers a time audit for handing team work to AI, Google Ads' new All conversions tab, a Claude-based lead list workflow and whether to build ChatGPT plugins, following a November 11 batch on CRM plumbing and ad operations.

◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
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.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP and API actions around client onboarding and review, and further access-control audits given two fixes in this release alone.
Single Grain
5.0MARKETING
Single Grain keeps publishing AI-for-marketing how-tos, not product changes
◆ Current state
The Single Grain feed is agency blog content, not a changelog. The November 13 batch covers a time audit for handing team work to AI, Google Ads' new All conversions tab, a Claude-based lead list workflow and whether to build ChatGPT plugins, following a November 11 batch on CRM plumbing and ad operations.
◆ Where it's heading
The posts lean harder on AI tooling each batch: Claude prompts, ChatGPT plugins and AI agents in Slack now sit next to the usual CRM and paid-ads guides. It remains an agency publishing schedule with no product behind it.
◆ Prediction
More batches of AI-workflow and ad-platform how-tos are likely; nothing here signals a product release.
