What our experts think
Buffer has a wide range of capabilities that make it easier to manage multiple social media accounts. Overall, the platform simplifies scheduling and posting posts. Instead of spending several hours a day scheduling posts, Buffer expedites the entire process. This gives you more time to focus on other tasks. The software is easy to use thanks to its well-designed interface and intuitive tools. After using Buffer, your social media performance should see a marked improvement.
A downside of Buffer is that it can be expensive. On top of the subscription fee, Buffer charges extra for additional channels. If you have more than three social media accounts, things can get pricey. The Free plan is an affordable option, but it has several limitations, e.g., only basic features and a three-account limit.
