ViralFarm

Your agentic social media scheduler: plan and publish to every channel from one calendar, or let your AI agent schedule for you.

ViralFarm is your agentic social media scheduler built for creators and small teams. Schedule and publish to TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook, YouTube and X, plus blog posts to WordPress, from one calendar and queue. Write once and tailor the caption for each channel, bulk-schedule a week of posts in one go, publish now or save drafts, and post every format that matters: Reels, Stories, carousels, Shorts, Instagram trial reels, TikTok drafts and long posts for X Premium accounts. When the queue runs low, ViralFarm can fill it with slideshows, carousels and pins built on templates modeled after posts that went viral.

What sets ViralFarm apart is that it is built for AI agents. Its MCP server and REST API let Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf and any MCP client schedule and publish for you on autopilot: upload your photos and videos, post them across every channel on a schedule you describe in plain words, or run one of the preset viral templates to create the post first. Agent access is included on every plan, even Free, and posts your agent writes use no ViralFarm credits.

Best for: Creators, founders and small teams who want one calendar for every channel, run by hand or by their AI agent

  • Schedule to 8 networks + WordPress
  • Bulk scheduling + calendar

Which one should you choose?

Choose ViralFarm if…

  • You don't want to run a server. ViralFarm is a hosted scheduler: connect your accounts and start publishing to TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook, YouTube and X, with no installs, upgrades or developer apps to register with each network.
  • You want to start free on TikTok, Instagram or Pinterest. ViralFarm Free schedules to 2 channels with no credit card, and agent access through its MCP server is included even on Free. Mixpost's free Lite edition only publishes to Facebook Pages, X and Mastodon, and its MCP server needs a paid license.
  • You want bulk scheduling and WordPress in the same calendar. ViralFarm bulk-schedules a week of posts in one go and publishes blog posts to WordPress next to your social channels. We found no bulk upload in Mixpost, and it does not publish to WordPress.
  • When you need posts to schedule, ViralFarm can make them. It builds slideshows, carousels and pins on templates modeled after posts that went viral, while Mixpost Pro adds an AI assistant and image generation but no designed carousels or slideshows.

Mixpost may suit you if…

  • You want to self-host and keep every post, token and metric on your own server.
  • You would rather pay once than monthly. Pro is a $299 license with unlimited accounts, posts and team members.
  • You need Bluesky, Mastodon or Google Business Profile, or agency tools such as workspaces, approvals and a comments inbox.

Frequently asked questions

Is ViralFarm better than Mixpost?

For creators and small teams who don't want to run a server, yes. ViralFarm is a hosted scheduler with one calendar for TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook, YouTube and X, plus bulk scheduling and WordPress blog posts, and its free plan covers TikTok, Instagram and Pinterest. It can also fill your queue with AI-made slideshows and pins. Mixpost fits better if you want to self-host and pay for a one-time license.

How much does Mixpost cost?

Mixpost Lite is free and open source. Pro is a one-time $299 license for one domain with a year of updates, Enterprise is a one-time $1,199, and you pay for your own hosting on top. ViralFarm is hosted, with a free plan and paid plans at $12, $29 and $39 a month.

Does the free Mixpost Lite support Instagram or TikTok?

No. Lite publishes to Facebook Pages, X and Mastodon. Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky and Google Business Profile need Pro or Enterprise. ViralFarm's free plan connects up to 2 channels, and those can be TikTok, Instagram or Pinterest.

Which is easier to set up, Mixpost or ViralFarm?

ViralFarm: you sign up and connect your accounts. Self-hosted Mixpost runs on your own server through Docker or a manual install, and Mixpost's docs note that getting a developer app approved by each social network can take weeks.

Can I use Mixpost or ViralFarm with Claude and other AI assistants?

Yes. Mixpost Pro and Enterprise ship an MCP server and REST API. ViralFarm's MCP server and REST API work with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client on every plan, including Free, so your agent can upload media and schedule or publish across every channel from a plain-language request. It can also generate a post on a ViralFarm template first, and posts your own agent writes use no ViralFarm credits.

Is Mixpost open source?

Mixpost Lite is open source on GitHub. Pro and Enterprise install their source code on your server and let you modify it for your own business, but you can't redistribute or resell the code. ViralFarm is a hosted service and is not open source or self-hostable.
