Buffer

Buffer is a social media tool. You write posts once and schedule them to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, Google Business Profile, Mastodon, X and Substack. It also has an ideas board, an AI Assistant for writing posts, a comment inbox, analytics and reports, team approvals, and Start Page, a link-in-bio page.

Buffer runs in the browser, with apps for iPhone and Android and a Chrome extension. An API and an MCP server let tools such as Claude or ChatGPT draft and schedule posts in Buffer.

Prices are per connected channel. Free: $0, up to 3 channels, 10 scheduled posts per channel at a time, 1 user. Essentials: from $6 per channel a month (from $5 billed yearly), unlimited posts. Team: from $12 per channel a month (from $10 billed yearly), adds unlimited team members, access levels and approval workflows. The rate per channel drops as you add more channels. Paid plans have a 14-day free trial.
