+ The grid preview is the right interface for anything visual-first.
− Weaker outside Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest.
+ Your own instance, your own API keys, no per-channel pricing.
− Self-hosting means you own the OAuth app approvals each network demands.
+ The free plan is genuinely usable, and the AI drafts read like the account's own voice once fed a few posts.
− Analytics and engagement sit behind the paid tiers.
+ Writes the copy and schedules the post from the same place.
− Jack of all trades - the design side is thinner than Canva.
+ Comes back with artwork, not just text, which is the half most tools skip.
− Templated look - fine for volume, obvious if every post uses it.
