Pamba vs Publer API + MCP

Pamba 70

Closed service. The changelog has entries on 9, 10 and 11 November 2026 (30). Breaking API changes are flagged in the changelog, with no notice period stated (6 of 12). Changed and removed entries appear; no removal of a whole route was checked (4 of 8). Dated changelog with an Atom feed (15). Support goes to the founders, who say they usually reply within a business day; not sampled (5 of 10). No SDK; MCP and REST only (5 of 15). Runtimes not applicable; nothing to install (5 of 10). 30 + 6 + 4 + 15 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 70.

Publer API + MCP 26

The MCP help article was updated on 28 September 2026 for the Business launch, 38 days before 5 November (20). We found no changelog or release record, so there are not three dated entries in the 90 days from 7 August (0; the line is 20 or 0). publer.com/changelog redirected to the homepage on 1 October. Support by email at support@publer.com and a help centre (6). No SDKs or MCP registry entry (0). No packages to assess (0). Readings per the 1 October check, not re-read on 5 November (Publer's terms, revised 30 October 2026, bar robots and other automatic means on any portion of the Service, the publer.com site included, so its hosts are paused). 20 + 0 + 6 + 0 + 0 = 26.

Pamba 28

Closed service with no terms of service: /terms answered 404, and only an acceptable use policy (dated 6 July 2026) is published, with no legal entity named anywhere read (5 of 30). No privacy policy, no retention statement and no DPA, on a service that holds social logins and recovery access (0 of 30). The changelog dates deprecations and removals; no policy (10 of 20). The team says it's in San Francisco and posts from iPhones with US SIM cards; where data is processed and who processes it isn't stated (3 of 20). 5 + 0 + 10 + 3 = 18. It does publish its own results, including that 42% of 6,678 videos it measured never reached 1,000 views.

Publer API + MCP 68

Closed service under terms revised on 30 October 2026 (read on 5 November) from Kalemi Code of Tirana (registration L71705026N) and Kalemi Code LLC of Sheridan, Wyoming, under Albanian law (15). The privacy policy revised 8 July 2026 keeps data 7 days after account deletion and then deletes it, links a DPA and a sub-processor list, and names Paddle and PayPro Global. It says nothing on AI providers (26). No deprecation policy or dated notices found (2). Servers in Frankfurt and a sub-processor list linked. We didn't read the list itself (15).

Pamba 84

No OpenAPI file found. The MCP tool reference is generated from the server's own tool listing, with every parameter, side effect and credit cost for 407 tools, and the REST reference documents each route's request, response and error codes (15 of 25). llms.txt with the docs corpus (10). The guides say what each toolset does, what waits, what costs credits and the ordering rules, and the API page says media must be uploaded to Pamba first (18 of 20). Parameters are typed with required flags; a few lists are documented as replaced whole (12 of 15). Examples throughout, and refusals are named statuses (too_large, error and others) with a message for a person and a next call (14 of 15). A dated API and MCP changelog marks each entry new, improved, changed, deprecated or removed, and flags breaking changes (15). 15 + 10 + 18 + 12 + 14 + 15 = 84.

Publer API + MCP 46

No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract found (0). llms.txt and a Markdown copy of every docs page via .md (10). Endpoint pages say what each call does. The MCP article lists no tools, so we couldn't read their descriptions (8). Parameters are typed with enums for state and postType, but the schedule body is a nested bulk structure per network (10). 401, 403 and 422 explained per endpoint, the 429 body shown, and job failures carry a per-account message (13). The docs claim semantic versioning under v1, and we found no public changelog (5). Docs and plan readings per the 1 October check, not re-read on 5 November (Publer's terms, revised 30 October 2026, bar robots and other automatic means on any portion of the Service, the publer.com site included, so its hosts are paused).

Pamba 53

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Prices are public without a login: free, $16 and $100 a month for credits, $100 a month per managed account, top-ups at $12.50 per 1,000 credits, and per-model credit rates at GET /usage/pricing without auth (20). A free plan of 300 credits; whether it needs a card isn't stated (15 of 20). A person signs up in a browser before a key or an OAuth approval (0). 0 + 20 + 15 + 0 = 35. Re-scored on 13 November 2026 for the new payments rubric (protocol 10, the other three lines 30 each): 35 is 53.

Publer API + MCP 23

No x402 or other machine payment (0). Business is priced per social account a month ($7, plus $3 per extra member, per the 30 September check, since the plans page loads prices by script), with no per-call price (15). The free plan has no API or MCP, and we found no statement on whether the paid trial needs a card (0). A person has to sign up in a browser and buy Business (0). Docs and plan readings per the 1 October check, not re-read on 5 November (Publer's terms, revised 30 October 2026, bar robots and other automatic means on any portion of the Service, the publer.com site included, so its hosts are paused). Re-scored on 13 November 2026 for the new payments rubric (protocol 10, the other three lines 30 each): 15 is 23.

Pamba 75

Read on the MCP server. 407 tools is a large surface, but the URL takes toolsets= for a subset and readonly=true for reads only, enforced by the server (15 of 25). Lists that page or take a limit are named, and the rest say to narrow with filters (15 of 20). Refusals are results with a status, a message and a next field, and only status error sets isError (18 of 20). Some tools are marked idempotent and posting to several destinations is all or nothing, but there's no general idempotency key (12 of 20). Connector guides for Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini, and four workflow prompts (15 of 15). 15 + 15 + 18 + 12 + 15 = 75.

Publer API + MCP 55

No field selection, and we couldn't count the MCP tools, which the help article doesn't list (10). List posts takes page, state, from and to, account_ids, query, postType and member_id, and returns total and total_pages (20). Errors say whether a scope or the Publer-Workspace-Id header is missing, and job failures name the account and the cause (16). Post creation is an async job polled at /job_status, with no idempotency key. Drafts exist (5). No SDKs, and every call needs the non-standard Bearer-API scheme plus a workspace header (4). Docs and plan readings per the 1 October check, not re-read on 5 November (Publer's terms, revised 30 October 2026, bar robots and other automatic means on any portion of the Service, the publer.com site included, so its hosts are paused).

Pamba 45

Graded as a hosted service. No status page found: none is linked, and status.pamba.app didn't answer (0). With no page there's no incident history to read (5 of 30). Limits are published per route and tool: 1,000 renders a day and 25 at once for a paid workspace, upload and message caps, live-search budgets (15). 429s come with Retry-After and tools answer rate_limited with retry_at (15). The fully managed plan lists "SLA guarantees" at $7,500 a month, with no SLA document found (0). Self-serve and live (10). 0 + 5 + 15 + 15 + 0 + 10 = 45.

Publer API + MCP 40

A status page at status.publer.com was recorded on 30 September, but its robots.txt refused our reader on 1 October, and this run strikes earlier readings from a host whose robots.txt refuses us (0). No incident record could be read (5). 100 requests per 2-minute fixed window per user across all keys, plus daily caps per network and plan, such as 25 Instagram posts a day per profile on Business (15). A 429 returns a JSON error with X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset, and the docs advise exponential backoff. No Retry-After and no idempotency key for the async post jobs (10). No SLA, and the terms disclaim uptime (0). The API isn't labelled beta (10). Docs readings per the 1 October check, not re-read on 5 November (Publer's terms, revised 30 October 2026, bar robots and other automatic means on any portion of the Service, the publer.com site included, so its hosts are paused). 0 + 5 + 15 + 10 + 0 + 10 = 40.
