Postdom is an AI social media tool that turns your website into ready-to-post videos, slideshows and single images in your brand, and posts the ones you approve to nine platforms, including TikTok and Instagram. Sprout's Trellis agent suggests ideas from your Sprout data, and your team still makes each post. Postdom's Free plan makes 1 post a month for you, with no card.

Why choose Postdom over Sprout Social

  • It makes the posts. Postdom makes videos, slideshows and single images from your website. Sprout's Trellis suggests ideas, and your team makes the media.
  • More output for the price of one seat. One Sprout Essentials seat is $79 a month billed annually. Postdom Growth is $99 a month for 60 finished posts and 10 seats.
  • It can publish through the API. Postdom's REST API and MCP tools publish on every plan. Sprout's Public API only creates unpublished posts for a person to send (Sprout API docs, checked 7 October 2026).
  • The formats are built on what gets views. Postdom videos put the hook in on-screen text over real clips and photos. In Postdom's study of 1,272 TikToks and Reels from 160 accounts, on-screen hook text went with 1.79x an account's usual views, and spoken-only hooks went with 0.62x.
  • A person on screen without filming. In Postdom's study of 2,138 TikTok posts, product brands' videos with their usual person on screen drew 2.51x their usual views, and videos with no person drew 0.42x. On paid plans, an AI persona is how Postdom puts the same person on screen in every video, with no camera.
