Compare the API rules, not the slogan

Publer's documentation says the API is for Business and Enterprise customers. Its help center also says Enterprise users, Business users in good standing, and Top Ambassadors can access it. PostTempo includes API keys on Pro, Agency, and Scale, and not on Free or Creator. Neither sentence is a reason to skip a test post.

Who can create a key

Read the current plan page, then create a key in a trial before you promise an integration.

What the key can do

PostTempo separates drafting (posts:write) from immediate publish (posts:publish). Ask Publer which scopes its key uses.

Where status shows up

A successful API response still has to be visible to the person who owns the calendar.

Approvals are a separate question

An API does not mean a client approved the post. If reviewers are part of the job, test the approval step on both products with a real teammate. PostTempo records that step on Agency and Scale.

Choose Publer when

  • You already run Publer workspaces and only need to confirm API eligibility.
  • Publer's current account bundles match the brands you manage.
  • A Publer-specific integration is already in production.

Choose PostTempo when

  • You want API keys starting on Pro, with a higher key count on Agency and Scale.
  • Reviewers must approve before anything is published.
  • You want to separate draft access from immediate-publish access.
  • You want a free posting-time planner that does not publish on its own.

Frequently asked questions

Questions people ask before choosing

Does Publer have a public API?

Yes. Publer's docs say Business and Enterprise customers can use it. Confirm the current plan and account standing on Publer's own pages.

Does PostTempo have a public API?

Pro, Agency, and Scale include API keys for posts, media, accounts, queue, analytics reads, and AI generation. Free and Creator do not.

Which is better for agencies?

Test both with one client workspace, one reviewer, and one API-created draft. Pick the tool whose approval and failure states your team can explain.

Can I try timing before I buy either scheduler?

PostTempo's best-time planner is public and does not post. It is a planning aid, not an analytics export from your accounts.
