Zoho Forms vs Postiz
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Zoho Forms and Postiz — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Zoho Forms vs Postiz: at a glance
What is Zoho Forms?
Zoho Forms has been silent for over a year — AI-generated forms remain the freshest directional move.
Zoho Forms' public blog last shipped content in February 2025, a 15-month gap. The Q1 2025 batch covered form-availability scheduling, mobile image-upload enhancements, and a PDF-to-form converter. Just before the gap, the team launched AI-generated forms and OTP verification.
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.

Zoho Forms
0.0MKT AUTO
Zoho Forms has been silent for over a year — AI-generated forms remain the freshest directional move.
◆ Current state
Zoho Forms' public blog last shipped content in February 2025, a 15-month gap. The Q1 2025 batch covered form-availability scheduling, mobile image-upload enhancements, and a PDF-to-form converter. Just before the gap, the team launched AI-generated forms and OTP verification.
◆ Where it's heading
Visible direction through early 2025 was incremental builder polish plus a meaningful AI bet on form generation. Since then, no public updates — the product appears to be either in maintenance mode within the broader Zoho suite or shipping without communicating. Without fresh signal it's hard to read intent from the surrounding suite alone.
◆ Prediction
If output resumes, the AI Forms surface is the natural extension point — generation today, smarter validation, prefill, and post-submission triage next. If the silence continues, treat Zoho Forms as a stable suite component rather than an actively differentiated product.
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.
