TGStudio vs Postiz: which one fits Telegram channels
open-source social media scheduler for many networks · prices checked September 20, 2026
Postiz is a strong open-source scheduler for many social networks, and you can host it yourself for free. TGStudio does one thing — Telegram — and goes further there: up to 1,000 channels on one plan, posting from your own bots, and money tools that schedulers do not have.
Where Postiz is stronger
- Open source: the self-hosted version is free, and you control the server.
- Many networks in one tool, not only Telegram.
- AI copilot plus image and video generation and video clipping.
- Unlimited posts, calendar, RSS, API and webhooks on paid plans.
What TGStudio does differently
- More channels for the money: 25 channels on Start ($29), 100 on Pro ($69), 300 on Business ($149). Postiz gives 5 channels for $29 and 100 for $99.
- Posts go out from your own bots, so Telegram rate limits are not shared with other customers.
- Monetization inside the dashboard: paid subscriptions for Telegram Stars, donations, ad sales with payment held until the post is live, USDT payouts.
- Chat moderation, competitor analytics via a userbot, and a Telegram Mini App for working from your phone.
