From $99 a month to under $1: an open-source Post Bridge alternative
brainstormity found $99 a month for Post Bridge getting a little too expensive, so they built Open Post, an open-source alternative that posts to all their social media accounts from one dashboard and costs less than $1 a month to run. The GitHub release was planned once every integration is tested. Unusually polite for a zombie, they say it isn't about taking business from the original, and recommend it if you'd rather pay $40-$100 a month for a ready-to-use tool. Everyone else gets the self-hosted version for free.
Saving, as stated by the author: $99/month down to under $1/month
Paying $99/month was getting a little too expensive...
So I built my own open source alternative that now costs me LESS THAN $1/month to run.
YES, 99x CHEAPER! 🤯
Introducing Open Post, an open source alternative to Post Bridge that lets you post to all your social media accounts from one dashboard.
I'll be open sourcing it on GitHub this coming week once I finish testing each social media integration.
And just to be clear...
This isn't about taking business away from an existing SaaS. I simply wanted to build something cheaper for myself that does the exact same thing.
If you want a ready-to-use solution and don't mind paying $40-$100/month, definitely check out the original SaaS!
But if you prefer self-hosting and saving money, Open Post is coming soon for free. 🚀
