Octopost vs Typefully
Typefully is a writing tool first: a focused editor for drafting and polishing threads, with X analytics and an API that creates, schedules and publishes drafts. Octopost is built for agents: 16 MCP tools, an approval queue and an interval queue with active hours. Octopost is live on X only today; Typefully publishes to more networks now.

Choose Typefully if
- You write every post yourself and the editor matters more than automation.
- You need Threads, Bluesky, LinkedIn or Mastodon in production today.
- You want X analytics next to your drafts.
Choose Octopost if
- An agent drafts the posts and you approve them in a queue, or let them drip out every few hours inside your active hours.
- You want one MCP server your agent can learn in one read, plus a REST API for scripts and CI (for example a GitHub release announcement).
Switching from Typefully
- Moving from Typefully for agent posting: keep Typefully for hand-written threads, and give your agent Octopost for automated X posts.
- Drafts do not import; paste the ones you want into queue_post with needs_approval=true.
