Revive Social (long known by its original WordPress.org name, Revive Old Post, and before that, Tweet Old Post) has built a loyal following — over 30,000 active installs and 340+ five-star reviews — around one specific idea: your older blog posts are still worth sharing, so keep recycling them into your social feeds on a recurring schedule. PostRSS approaches automation from a different angle: publish new content automatically, the moment it goes live, across a focused set of platforms. Both are legitimate, well-built tools — they're just solving slightly different problems, and this comparison is about knowing which problem is actually yours.
Revive Social's core strength is evergreen content recycling. It auto-shares new WordPress posts the moment you publish, and — this is its signature feature — it also reshares older posts from your archive on a recurring "every X hours" schedule, so content you wrote months or years ago keeps circulating through your social feeds instead of being forgotten after its first share. It also supports RSS feed sharing from any website, not only your own, letting you curate and share third-party content alongside your own posts.
Network support starts with Facebook, X, and Tumblr on the free plan, expanding to Instagram, LinkedIn (Profiles and Pages), Google My Business, VK, Telegram, Mastodon, and Bluesky on paid tiers. Pricing runs from $99/year for a single site up to $399/year for unlimited sites, with a $199/year Business tier covering up to three sites.
PostRSS is built around the moment of publishing, not the archive. When a new item appears in your connected RSS feed, it's automatically distributed to Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and VKontakte based on the schedule and targets you've configured — checking as frequently as every five minutes on paid plans, every minute on Enterprise tiers. It isn't a WordPress plugin, so it runs identically whether your feed comes from WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Joomla, Blogger, or anywhere else that exposes RSS, and it doesn't add any plugin weight to your site.
| Capability | Revive Social | PostRSS |
|---|---|---|
| New-post auto-sharing | Yes | Yes — core feature |
| Evergreen / old-post recycling | Yes — signature feature | Not a core feature |
| Sharing third-party RSS feeds | Yes, on paid tiers | Designed around your own feed(s) |
| Platform | WordPress plugin only | Hosted, works with any RSS-generating CMS |
| Networks (free tier) | Facebook, X, Tumblr | Facebook page posting (1 target) |
| Networks (paid tiers) | + Instagram, LinkedIn, GMB, VK, Telegram, Mastodon, Bluesky | + X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, VKontakte |
| Pinterest support | Not listed among supported networks | Included from Professional tier up |
| Pricing model | Per-site annual license ($99–$399/year) | Per-target monthly ($5–$2,500/month) |
| Multi-site management | Separate install per site (or unlimited-site license) | Single account, multiple feeds |
Strip away the feature lists and the decision usually comes down to one honest question: is your bigger problem "my new posts don't get shared automatically" or "my old posts get shared once and then disappear forever"? They're both real problems, but they're different problems with different solutions.
If you're sitting on years of evergreen content — how-to guides, resource roundups, timeless advice that's just as useful today as when you wrote it — Revive Social's recycling engine is built exactly for that, and it's a genuinely well-regarded tool in that specific niche. PostRSS doesn't try to compete on archive-recycling; it's built to make sure everything new gets out the door automatically and reliably, across a slightly different platform mix that includes Pinterest, which Revive Social does not list among its supported networks.
If Pinterest is part of your distribution strategy — and for visually-driven content (recipes, design, DIY, retail, travel) it often should be — this is a meaningful differentiator. PostRSS includes Pinterest support from the Professional tier up, purpose-built for pulling a feed's featured image straight into a Pin with a link back to the source. Revive Social's supported network list, by contrast, doesn't include Pinterest at all as of this writing. If Pinterest matters to your content strategy, that alone may settle the comparison.
| Tier | Revive Social | PostRSS |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Facebook, X, Tumblr — new-post sharing only | 1 target, Facebook page posting |
| Entry paid | $99/year, 1 site | $5/month (Start, 1 target) |
| Mid / Business | $199/year, up to 3 sites | $10–$40/month (Professional / Ultimate, all 5 platforms) |
| Top tier | $399/year, unlimited sites | $100–$2,500/month (Enterprise, up to 5,000 targets) |
Revive Social's annual, per-site-tier model rewards a WordPress agency running many sites under one unlimited license. PostRSS's monthly, per-target model scales more directly with actual posting volume and connected-platform count, regardless of how many separate websites those feeds come from — two different pricing philosophies rather than a straightforward "cheaper vs. more expensive" comparison.

It's worth understanding what each tool is actually doing behind the scenes, because it explains why they feel different in daily use. Revive Social's recycling engine works from a pool of your past posts and pulls from that pool on a timer you configure — "share something from the archive every 4 hours," for example — which means the same piece of content can resurface on your social feeds weeks or months after it was first shared, keeping a content library circulating indefinitely.
PostRSS's engine works from live feed state: it periodically checks your RSS feed (as frequently as every five minutes on paid plans) for items it hasn't seen before, and distributes only genuinely new items the moment they're detected. There's no recycling pool and no re-surfacing of old content by design — every automated post corresponds to something that was just published. That's a meaningful architectural difference, not just a settings toggle, and it's why the two tools tend to get combined rather than treated as interchangeable.
There's a genuine strategic trade-off buried in this comparison. Prioritizing freshness (PostRSS's approach) keeps your social presence tightly synced with what's actually new on your site, which matters most for time-sensitive content — news, product launches, event announcements, sales. Prioritizing longevity (Revive Social's approach) maximizes the lifetime value of content that doesn't go stale — how-to guides, resource lists, foundational explainers. Most content libraries contain a mix of both, which is the practical argument for why many sites eventually end up wanting both capabilities rather than choosing one philosophy permanently.
Unlike some tool comparisons where overlap creates duplicate-posting risk, Revive Social and PostRSS can genuinely complement each other with the right configuration: let PostRSS handle automatic distribution of new posts to Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and VKontakte the moment they publish, and let Revive Social separately handle the archive-recycling job it's built for — resharing older WordPress posts on its own schedule. As long as you're not pointing both tools at the exact same new-post trigger for the exact same platform, running them side by side is a reasonable way to get both strengths rather than picking one.
Revive Social's unlimited-site tier ($399/year) does address multi-site needs within WordPress specifically — a real option for agencies working exclusively in WordPress. Where it can't follow you is off WordPress entirely: a client on Shopify, Squarespace, or any other platform is outside its reach by design, since it's a WordPress plugin at its core. PostRSS's platform-agnostic model means the same automation setup extends to Shopify and Squarespace sites or Joomla just as easily as WordPress, from the same account — a meaningful advantage for agencies managing a mixed-platform client roster.
Revive Social's setup happens where you'd expect for a WordPress plugin: install it from the plugin directory, connect your social accounts from within the WordPress admin, configure how many old posts to reshare and how often, and it runs from there. If you're already comfortable managing WordPress plugins, nothing about the process feels unfamiliar.
PostRSS's setup happens in its own dashboard, separate from WordPress entirely: paste your feed URL, connect your social accounts, choose which platforms should receive each post, and save. Because it isn't reading or writing anything inside your WordPress database, there's no plugin conflict risk to worry about, and the same steps work identically whether your feed comes from WordPress or somewhere else entirely.
If new-post distribution (rather than archive recycling) is your actual goal, setup is quick: connect your site's RSS feed — our step-by-step setup guide covers the process — connect the social accounts you want each post distributed to, and every future post publishes itself from that point forward, with no plugin installed on your site at all.
PostRSS's core design is built around new-item distribution as your feed updates, not scheduled resharing of your archive — that specific use case is Revive Social's specialty, not PostRSS's.
Yes, its free tier supports Facebook, X, and Tumblr auto-sharing of new posts, with paid tiers unlocking additional networks, recycling scheduling depth, and RSS feed sharing from other sites.
PostRSS deliberately focuses on five platforms — Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and VKontakte — to go deeper on formatting and reliability for each, rather than spreading support thin across a longer network list.
Based on its publicly listed supported networks, Pinterest isn't among them at any tier — worth confirming directly on Revive Social's own site if this changes, but it's not currently part of its network list.
Mainly if you need a network PostRSS doesn't cover (Telegram, Mastodon, Bluesky, Google My Business) or you specifically want automation living inside your WordPress dashboard rather than a separate service.
Yes — each tool authorizes its own connection to your social profiles independently, so moving from one to the other means reconnecting accounts inside whichever tool you're setting up, even though the underlying social media accounts themselves don't change.
PostRSS, since there's no archive to recycle yet anyway — a new site's priority is making sure everything newly published actually gets distributed, which is exactly what new-post automation is built for. Revive Social's recycling strength becomes more valuable later, once there's a real archive built up.
Neither tool is objectively "better" in the abstract — the entire comparison hinges on which half of the content-distribution problem is actually yours right now. A site with a thin, brand-new archive and a steady stream of new posts gets little value from a recycling engine with nothing to recycle yet. A site with years of untouched evergreen content but inconsistent new-post distribution has the opposite problem. Being honest about which situation actually describes your site is a more useful exercise than treating this as a straight feature-count contest.
Revive Social earns its loyal user base by doing evergreen recycling better than almost anyone else in the WordPress plugin space. PostRSS earns its place by doing new-content, cross-platform, cross-CMS distribution — including Pinterest — without adding anything to your site's plugin stack. If your content strategy needs both jobs done, running them together, each on the task it's built for, is a legitimate and common setup rather than a compromise.
