ReelGenieAn Upload-Post alternative with TikTok on the free plan
Pick Upload-Post if you build on a posting API: 22 networks and a 50-tool MCP server on every plan. Pick ReelGenie if your AI agent makes the post and you want to approve it first. Upload-Post’s free plan leaves out TikTok; ReelGenie’s includes it, though most TikTok accounts get the post as a draft in the TikTok inbox.
The TikTok limit: open TikTok, add a sound and post. Direct Post appears only when TikTok has enabled it for your account.
Building in n8n or Make? Use Upload-Post. Its n8n and Make integrations are on every plan, including Free. ReelGenie has none.
ReelGenie’s forever-free plan includes 30 posts a month and 1 brand. Solo is US$19/month. Your Claude or Codex plan is separate.
Start free – 30 posts a month, no card

A posting queue can be set up for posting times (MCP page). |
| AI agent access | MCP for Claude, Claude Code, Codex and other MCP clients, on every plan including Free. | A 50-tool MCP server on every plan, including Free. It is listed in Claude’s connector directory and in ChatGPT’s Plugins as an official plugin reviewed by OpenAI, so Claude and ChatGPT sign in with OAuth and there is no address to paste. Other clients use an API key (MCP page). |

Where Upload-Post is better
- 22 networks. ReelGenie has three.
- Developer tools. SDKs, an FFmpeg video editing API, white-label and n8n, Make and Zapier.
- Scale. Plans up to 225 profiles. ReelGenie’s largest plan has 100 connected accounts.
- One-click agent setup. It is listed in Claude’s connector directory and in ChatGPT’s Plugins, so you connect by signing in, with no address to paste.

Where ReelGenie fits
- Approval before every delivery. Creating a post never sends it. Your agent saves it privately, and nothing goes out until the post, the account and the time are approved. Your agent can ask for approval. Only a person can give it, in ReelGenie or in the chat, so you approve every post before it goes live.
- A faithful preview. ReelGenie stores the exact files your agent made and shows them in a phone frame, in order, with the full caption, before you approve.
- Each account’s result. Every account gets its own status: Scheduled, Draft ready, Published or Failed with the platform’s reason in plain words. Scheduled isn’t posted, and you can see whether it actually posted. Views, likes and comments sync afterwards and are compared with that account’s own recent posts, not presented as growth.
- MCP on the free plan. Claude, Claude Code, Codex and other MCP clients connect on every plan, including the forever-free plan: 30 posts a month, 1 brand and 3 connected accounts. Solo is US$19/month for unlimited posts.
- Honest about TikTok. For most accounts today TikTok receives the post as a draft, and the result reads Draft ready: open TikTok, add a sound and post. Direct Post appears only when TikTok has enabled it for your account.
