Upload-Post API alternative
Socialync API vs Upload-Post
Upload-Post is a social media posting API and scheduler. Here is its price and what it does, next to the Socialync API. Every Upload-Post figure was read on its own site on November 9, 2026.
The short version
Upload-Post pricing on its pricing page: Free is $0 with 10 uploads a month and 2 profiles (TikTok not included), Basic is $24 a month for 5 profiles, Professional is $50 for 25 profiles, Advanced is $147 for 75 and Business is $438 for 225. Yearly billing brings Basic to $16 a month. Every paid plan has unlimited uploads.
The Socialync API is included on every Socialync plan. The free plan allows 5 posts a month on 7 networks, and X needs a paid plan. Paid plans start at $20 a month for 5 connected accounts, $30 for 10 and $62.60 for 30. It posts to 8 networks with one key and plain JSON.
Price at 5, 10 and 30 accounts
Upload-Post bills per profile on flat plans. A profile is one person or client and connects one account on each network. Basic includes 5 profiles, Professional 25, Advanced 75 and Business 225, and each plan has optional extra profile packs.
Socialync bills per connected account. One connected account is one social account, so three Instagram accounts count as three. The first 5 are in the $20 base, accounts 6 to 25 are $2 each and accounts above 25 are $0.52 each. The base price includes 1 X account, and each extra X account is $10 a month.
One brand, accounts spread across networks
The accounts sit on different networks of one brand, up to 8 networks per profile. Upload-Post then bills as few profiles as it can. At most one of the accounts is on X, which the Socialync base price includes. Each extra X account is $10 a month on Socialync.

Every account belongs to a different client or brand
Each account is its own client, so Upload-Post bills one profile per account. Socialync prices do not change, and at most one of the accounts is on X.

A Socialync call
This publishes a text post to LinkedIn and Bluesky. It is the quickstart from the reference. The Idempotency-Key header makes a retry safe: the same key with the same body returns the first response for 24 hours. The key is the same one the Socialync MCP server uses.
curl -X POST https://mcp.socialync.io/v1/posts \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALYNC_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
-d '{
"platforms": ["linkedin", "bluesky"],
"caption": "Shipped from a script."
