As answered by people managing Publer and POST-BASE.
POST-BASE's answer:
POST-BASE combines two things most tools keep separate: real cross-posting to 9 social platforms AND built-in AI content generation — captions, images, and short UGC-style videos. You don't just schedule existing content, you create it and publish everywhere from one dashboard. It's also honest about pricing: 8 platforms are fully included, X is bring-your-own-account, and there are no hidden add-ons.
POST-BASE's answer:
Tools like Buffer, Hootsuite and Later schedule your posts but don't generate content — you still need separate AI tools for captions, images and video. POST-BASE does both in one place, at leaner pricing built for solo creators and small businesses instead of enterprises. Write once, let AI generate the assets, and publish to 9 platforms — no copy-paste, no nine open tabs, no per-seat enterprise tax.
POST-BASE's answer:
Solo content creators, small and local businesses, social media managers and indie founders — people who post the same content to many platforms regularly but don't have a designer, video editor or agency budget. POST-BASE's built-in AI removes that barrier.
POST-BASE's answer:
POST-BASE was built by a solo founder who got tired of opening nine tabs to post the same thing, then paying for separate AI tools to make captions, images and video. The goal: one honest, affordable dashboard that both generates content with AI and cross-posts everywhere — without enterprise pricing or hidden add-ons.
POST-BASE's answer:
A single-file vanilla JavaScript frontend (no framework), Netlify Functions (Node) for the backend, Supabase (Postgres) for data and auth, the Post for Me API as the publishing aggregator, OpenAI for AI captions, fal.ai for AI image and video generation, the AT Protocol for Bluesky, and Creem for billing.
