What is Postiz?
Postiz v2.25 adds preview comments and relays Cloud MCP to self-hosted instances.
v2.25.0 on 2 October adds inline comments on post previews, with replies, resolving and anonymous commenting, plus a self-hosted connector that lets Postiz Cloud relay MCP tool calls to a user's own instance. A provider sweep turns dozens of Unknown Error failures into readable, correctly retried errors, and stalled media reads can no longer hang a publish. It follows August's streamed uploads and duplicate-post protection.
What is Clay?
Clay lets teams publish workflows as templates and adds healthcare data.
Clay is a go-to-market data platform that combines enrichment, audiences, ads and outbound sequencing. Late October brought Claygent Auto-mode, which picks a model per row for cost, plus MCP client allowlists and per-workflow credit caps. The week of November 2 added Workflow Templates that anyone can copy, a Definitive Healthcare integration, Salesforce traffic through a customer's own proxy, and tags for Audiences segments.
Postiz vs Clay: editorial side-by-side
Postiz
0.0MARKETING
Postiz v2.25 adds preview comments and relays Cloud MCP to self-hosted instances.
◆ Current state
v2.25.0 on 2 October adds inline comments on post previews, with replies, resolving and anonymous commenting, plus a self-hosted connector that lets Postiz Cloud relay MCP tool calls to a user's own instance. A provider sweep turns dozens of Unknown Error failures into readable, correctly retried errors, and stalled media reads can no longer hang a publish. It follows August's streamed uploads and duplicate-post protection.
◆ Where it's heading
Reliability remains the steady line, but features have returned after a stretch dominated by security releases. Comments open the preview to people without an account, which suggests client review as a use case. The MCP work has moved from fixing OAuth to connecting self-hosters with the Cloud Claude connector and returning preview links an agent can share.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP tool additions, since the agent path is getting steady attention, and continued provider error mapping. The past security-release pattern keeps another advisory patch plausible.
Clay
5.0MARKETING
Clay lets teams publish workflows as templates and adds healthcare data.
◆ Current state
Clay is a go-to-market data platform that combines enrichment, audiences, ads and outbound sequencing. Late October brought Claygent Auto-mode, which picks a model per row for cost, plus MCP client allowlists and per-workflow credit caps. The week of November 2 added Workflow Templates that anyone can copy, a Definitive Healthcare integration, Salesforce traffic through a customer's own proxy, and tags for Audiences segments.
◆ Where it's heading
Clay ships a weekly roundup that alternates between widening its data sources and adding the admin controls larger customers ask for. Workflows have become its main unit, now with budgets, triggers from signals and, with templates, a way to share them between workspaces.
◆ Prediction
Expect templates to grow into a shared gallery and more vertical data providers like Definitive Healthcare to follow.
