A Post Bridge alternative for many-account UGC
Post Bridge helps you post to every TikTok account you run from one place. UGC API does that too, then adds campaign scheduling, previews, creator connect links and analytics across four platforms, priced per post.

What each product is
Post Bridge is a scheduler for people who run many accounts, especially on TikTok. Its pitch is posting to every TikTok account you run from one place. It has bulk upload where each file becomes a post, per-account caption overrides, unlimited posts, a REST API, a CLI and an MCP server. Analytics are minimal at the time of writing.
UGC API posts to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook Pages and YouTube Shorts from the dashboard or the API. It is built for the same many-account work, with campaigns that spread posts over accounts on a cadence and analytics from all four platforms.

Where UGC API is different
Bulk upload solves getting files in. The harder part is deciding which account posts what, and when, so 50 accounts don't all post at 10:00. That is what UGC API campaigns do.
- Spread, not dump. A campaign assigns posts round-robin, keeps each account on its own cadence, uses local times and staggers minutes between accounts. See scheduling TikTok posts across multiple accounts.
- Know before you commit. A dry run shows the full schedule and the credits it will use.
- Analytics that tell you what to post next. Views, likes, comments and shares from all four platforms, per post and per account, with top posts and a posts list you can filter by campaign.
- Four platforms from one upload. The same video goes out as a TikTok video, Instagram Reel, Facebook Reel and YouTube Short, each in its native format. See posting to all four at once.
- Creators connect their own accounts. Useful when you work with creators rather than accounts you log into yourself.
Where Post Bridge may fit better
- Each account posts many times a day. Unlimited posts on a flat plan will cost less.
- You prefer to upload a folder and have each file become a post without setting a cadence.
- You don't need per-post analytics.
- You want a CLI as your main interface.
Migrating from Post Bridge
- Sign up and claim 50 free posts. Create an API key in the dashboard, or skip the key if your team works in the dashboard only.
- Reconnect accounts with UGC API connect links. Tokens from Post Bridge can't be transferred, because each provider uses its own TikTok, Meta and Google apps. Send each creator a link, set an
external_idso the account maps to your own user ID, and the creator approves access without sharing a password. - Map your existing jobs to
POST /v1/postsfor single posts orPOST /v1/campaignsfor many posts over many accounts. Run the campaign with"dry_run": truefirst to check the schedule and the credit count. - Point
post.publishedandpost.failedwebhooks to your handler and verify the signature. - Run both tools side by side for a week. Pause the accounts in Post Bridge as each one goes live in UGC API, so nothing posts twice.
A worked example: 50 TikTok accounts, 2 posts a day
A team runs 50 TikTok accounts and 50 matching Instagram accounts. They post 2 slideshows a day per pair, at 12:00 and 20:00 New York time. That is 100 posts a day per platform, about 6,000 posts a month across both.
In UGC API they upload a week of slideshows and send one campaign with the 100 accounts and a cadence of 2 per day. Each slideshow becomes a TikTok photo post and an Instagram 4:5 carousel. Minutes are staggered, so accounts don't post in the same minute. The month costs 6,000 credits: one $40 pack plus a $10 pack, $50 in total.
If one TikTok account gets disconnected on day 4, its posts wait and the team gets a post.failed webhook for anything that couldn't go out. Failed posts are refunded. The other 99 accounts keep posting, and the account picks up again once its creator reconnects.
After the first week they open stats, filter by campaign, and see which hooks pulled the most views. They drop the bottom third and reuse the top hooks on new accounts.
How to choose
- Pick Post Bridge for flat-rate unlimited posting when each account posts a lot and you don't need analytics.
- Pick UGC API for spread scheduling, previews, analytics and creator-owned accounts across four platforms.
- Test with your own roster. 50 free posts cover a few days on a handful of accounts.
FAQ
Does UGC API support bulk upload?
Yes. Upload many files in the dashboard or send many posts in one campaign request. The campaign decides which account posts each one and when.
Can I set different captions per account?
Yes. Each post in a campaign has its own caption, and single posts can set platform-specific options.
What does 100 accounts cost?
There is no account fee. 3,000 posts a month across 100 accounts is $30.
Can I move accounts from Post Bridge?
No provider can transfer platform tokens. Reconnect each account once through a connect link.
