TimeToPost vs Puentiac: auto-publish on a webhook, or a queue you control?
TimeToPost turns a GitHub webhook into tweets, with the option to publish on its own. Puentiac does the same trigger, but never posts without you pressing the button. Here's the full breakdown, including the price gap.
TimeToPost and Puentiac both start from the same trigger - something lands in your GitHub repo, and a post gets drafted from it. The difference that actually matters is what happens next. TimeToPost can queue the draft for your approval or publish it automatically; Puentiac always stops at the draft and waits for you to press Post. That one design decision changes the price, the risk, and who each tool is actually built for.

What is TimeToPost?
TimeToPost is a "Build-in-Public Autopilot" that triggers on GitHub merges or pushes through a webhook you add under your repository's Settings → Webhooks. It drafts a post from what changed and can summarize multiple commits into a single build update - useful if you push several small commits for one feature and don't want five separate posts about it. It can either queue the draft for your approval or publish it automatically, and it includes a daily cap meant to prevent the feed-spam that comes from posting every tiny commit. Its listed price is $49.99/month.
That auto-publish option is the headline feature and the thing worth thinking through carefully. Letting a webhook publish to your X account without a human checking each post first is convenient on busy weeks, but it also means a bad commit message, a misfired webhook, or an unexpected API response can become a public post before you've seen it.
What is Puentiac?
Puentiac uses a near-identical trigger - connect a GitHub repo and every push or merged PR becomes a draft post - but adds a second, richer source: connect Claude Code, Codex or Cursor over MCP and your own AI coding assistant can log what you shipped as part of the same session where you built it, which tends to capture more of the actual reasoning than a commit message alone. Either way, every draft lands in your queue for review. Starter is $9/month for 90 posts and 1 project; Grow is $14/month for 300 posts and 2 projects. Every plan includes a 3-day free trial, $0.00 due today.
Auto-publish vs a queue you control
This is the real decision between these two tools, and it's worth being honest about both sides. TimeToPost's daily cap and approval-queue option show it's designed with spam risk in mind - it's not reckless by default. But the auto-publish mode still means the tool can post to your account without you reading the text first, which is a meaningfully different trust level than a tool that can never post without your click.
Puentiac removes that choice entirely rather than defaulting it safely: it has no auto-publish mode at all. Every draft, whether it came from a GitHub push or a Claude Code session, opens a pre-filled compose window on x.com and waits for you to press Post. It's a few seconds slower per post than full automation, and that's deliberate - it's the same reason signing in with X only shares your name and photo, never posting access.
Price: $49.99/month vs $9-$14/month
TimeToPost's $49.99/month is the highest price in this entire comparison series, and it's worth asking what that premium buys beyond the webhook trigger itself: the auto-publish option, the daily spam cap, and commit summarization are the features named publicly. Puentiac's Starter plan at $9/month covers the same core trigger - GitHub push or merged PR becomes a draft - for about a fifth of the cost, plus the option to connect Claude Code, Codex or Cursor directly for richer drafts, which isn't documented as a TimeToPost feature.
If auto-publishing without a daily approval step is genuinely essential to your workflow, that's the one capability TimeToPost has that Puentiac doesn't offer at any price - Puentiac's "always ask first" design is a hard rule, not a setting you can turn off. If you're fine pressing Post yourself, there's no feature in TimeToPost's public listing that justifies paying five times more.
Who should actually pick TimeToPost
If you specifically want posts to go out without any manual step, and you're comfortable with a webhook publishing to your account on a schedule with a safety cap, TimeToPost's auto-publish mode does something Puentiac intentionally doesn't.
Who should pick Puentiac instead
If you want the same GitHub trigger plus a direct hook into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, at a fifth of the price, and you'd rather read a draft before it goes out than trust a webhook to get the wording right on a day you weren't watching, Puentiac is built for exactly that trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Can TimeToPost post to X without my approval?
Yes - its auto-publish mode can post directly from the webhook trigger, with a daily cap meant to limit how often that happens. You can also set it to queue drafts for approval instead.
Is Puentiac missing the auto-publish feature TimeToPost has?
Yes, on purpose. Puentiac never posts to X on its own - every draft requires you to press Post yourself. There's no setting to turn that off.
Does Puentiac connect to Claude Code the way TimeToPost connects to GitHub?
Yes, and it's an addition on top of the GitHub trigger, not a replacement - connect either or both. MCP support for Claude Code, Codex or Cursor isn't documented as a TimeToPost feature.
Why is TimeToPost so much more expensive than Puentiac?
TimeToPost's public pricing lists one plan at $49.99/month covering its webhook automation, auto-publish option and daily cap. Puentiac's Starter plan at $9/month covers the equivalent GitHub trigger, without the auto-publish option, at under a fifth of the price.
Is there a free trial for Puentiac?
Yes - every plan includes a 3-day free trial with $0.00 due today.
The verdict
TimeToPost's auto-publish option is a real, distinct capability, and if hands-off posting is genuinely what you want, it's the one tool in this comparison that offers it. For most solo founders, though, the risk of a webhook posting to your account unsupervised outweighs the convenience, and Puentiac's $9/month Starter plan covers the same GitHub trigger, plus Claude Code, Codex and Cursor support, for a fraction of the price, with every post still requiring your own click.
