TryPost: the open source alternative to Loomly
Loomly's strength is brand assets and approval workflows: they pitch hard on the agency / multi-brand angle. TryPost matches the team workflows, adds open source, MCP, and modern AI, and starts at less than half Loomly's entry price.
Why teams move from Loomly to TryPost
Open source
Self-host TryPost free, audit the code, or contribute. Loomly is closed SaaS.
Modern AI tools
Loomly's AI is post idea suggestions. TryPost ships full caption, post, hook, YouTube title, and YouTube script generators.
MCP server
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor directly. Loomly has no equivalent.
Lower entry price
Loomly's Base plan starts at $42/month for 2 users and 10 accounts. TryPost Starter is $16/month for 5 accounts; Pro covers 15 users for less than Loomly's Standard.
