Sulu vs Postiz: at a glance
What is Sulu?
Sulu opens its 3.1 line while 3.0 and 2.6 keep shipping in lockstep.
Sulu is a Symfony-based CMS released as matched 3.0.x and 2.6.x patches. The October 1 pair added a request log admin view and a guided forced two-factor setup, and the October 29 pair let editors copy content to several locales at once. The same day, 3.1.0-alpha1 opened the next line with route field actions, a media download button and product-family attributes.
What is Postiz?
Postiz encrypts channel tokens and lets agents send connect links for new channels.
Postiz's November 13 release encrypts channels' access and refresh tokens in the database when enabled, with a local key or AWS KMS, and needs no migration. A new connect link endpoint and MCP tool let an app or agent give someone a one-hour link that adds their social channel to a workspace. It also fixes two access-control holes (billing routes open to plain members, and post saves across organizations), adds Amazon SES for email, and fixes 40+ provider and billing issues.
Sulu vs Postiz: editorial side-by-side
Sulu
5.0MKT AUTO
Sulu opens its 3.1 line while 3.0 and 2.6 keep shipping in lockstep.
◆ Current state
Sulu is a Symfony-based CMS released as matched 3.0.x and 2.6.x patches. The October 1 pair added a request log admin view and a guided forced two-factor setup, and the October 29 pair let editors copy content to several locales at once. The same day, 3.1.0-alpha1 opened the next line with route field actions, a media download button and product-family attributes.
◆ Where it's heading
Sulu is starting a feature line while keeping two maintenance lines in sync, with security and admin hardening flowing into both. Product attributes in 3.1 point toward commerce-adjacent content modelling.
◆ Prediction
Further 3.1 alphas and betas are likely before year end, with 3.0 and 2.6 patches continuing in pairs.
Postiz
2.5MKT AUTO
Postiz encrypts channel tokens and lets agents send connect links for new channels.
◆ Current state
Postiz's November 13 release encrypts channels' access and refresh tokens in the database when enabled, with a local key or AWS KMS, and needs no migration. A new connect link endpoint and MCP tool let an app or agent give someone a one-hour link that adds their social channel to a workspace. It also fixes two access-control holes (billing routes open to plain members, and post saves across organizations), adds Amazon SES for email, and fixes 40+ provider and billing issues.
◆ Where it's heading
Postiz still ships large releases about every six weeks. The last three have moved it from a scheduler toward publishing infrastructure that other software and agents can drive, with MCP access, preview comments and now connect links. This release adds the security work, encrypted tokens and tenant isolation, that larger self-hosted and multi-organization deployments need.
◆ Prediction
The next release will likely extend connect links to platforms that need API keys or instance URLs, and keep tokens out of Temporal history, which this release describes as groundwork.
