OpenBuzz
What OpenBuzz is
OpenBuzz is an open-source social media platform for planning, creating, scheduling, publishing and analyzing content across 14 listed networks. Its AI Content Studio can produce captions, hashtags, ideas, rewrites, replies, threads and image prompts adapted to different platforms. A visual calendar supports planning, and native publishing sends content to supported networks. The unified inbox gathers comments, mentions and direct messages, with AI-drafted replies that users can review before sending. Analytics include reach, impressions, engagement, per-channel breakdowns and best-time heatmaps. OpenBuzz works with OpenAI-compatible endpoints and includes a deterministic mock mode that does not need an AI key. The AGPL-3.0 Community Edition can be self-hosted free using Docker Compose, Postgres and Keycloak. It also offers web and API access. The Free plan covers three social accounts, 30 scheduled posts and 50 AI generations monthly; Professional costs $19.99 a month, while Teams costs $49.99 a month. During beta, accounts receive Enterprise access without a credit card.
