Buffer

What it does

Buffer combines social scheduling with an AI Assistant that can draft copy from prompts, rewrite text and adapt existing material into other versions. It is useful when writing and placing posts in a publishing queue are part of the same task.

Who it suits

It may suit a small team managing a few social channels and repurposing an existing announcement for different posts. Start by comparing the number of channels and scheduled posts you need; the AI drafting feature does not remove the need to check links, claims and the tone of each version.

Pricing and limits

The free plan supports up to three channels and includes the AI Assistant, subject to the free plan’s scheduling limits. For the first one to ten channels, Essentials is $6 per channel per month on monthly billing, or $60 per channel per year, equivalent to $5 per month. Paid plans offer a 14-day trial.
