Buffer is one of the most well-known social media scheduling tools, offering post scheduling, basic analytics, and content planning features for platforms like Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Pinterest. It's been a popular choice for individual creators and small businesses since 2010.
While Buffer is simple and affordable, it lacks support for emerging platforms like Bluesky, has strict post limits, and doesn't offer specialized creator tools for audience growth and engagement.
Buffer doesn't support Bluesky, leaving you unable to manage one of the fastest growing decentralized platforms.
Buffer's free plan allows only 10 scheduled posts total, and paid plans limit posts per channel.
Limited analytics without deep insights into follower behavior, engagement patterns, or growth trends.
Lacks specialized features like follower cleanup, starter pack management, and platform-optimized content.
