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 SocialBee?
SocialBee retires category sequencing and Next Posts in its first product change in months.
After a summer of fixes for Threads, Pinterest and TikTok posting failures, SocialBee announced a scheduling overhaul rolling out over the coming weeks. Category Sequence and Random categories are being replaced by active categories, and the Next Posts view is being folded into Calendar and List views. A bug blocking deletion from the Content Categories page was fixed the same day.

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.
SocialBee
5.0MARKETING
SocialBee retires category sequencing and Next Posts in its first product change in months.
◆ Current state
After a summer of fixes for Threads, Pinterest and TikTok posting failures, SocialBee announced a scheduling overhaul rolling out over the coming weeks. Category Sequence and Random categories are being replaced by active categories, and the Next Posts view is being folded into Calendar and List views. A bug blocking deletion from the Content Categories page was fixed the same day.
◆ Where it's heading
SocialBee is simplifying its category-based scheduling model rather than adding to it, consolidating views and removing modes. The promised biweekly, monthly and yearly recurrence suggests scheduling moves toward calendar-style rules instead of category queues.
◆ Prediction
Expect the recurring-schedule options announced for later this quarter to ship next; the entries don't show anything beyond scheduling.
