Being fair
When Buffer may suit you better
Buffer is a strong choice in several situations:
- You want the most established, simple scheduler and don't need career tools or voice training.
- You need to publish to Substack, which Buffer lists and ProPost doesn't.
- You want to try an AI assistant connection on a free plan: Buffer says MCP is included on every plan, while ProPost's requires Pro or Premium.
- You manage several channels on a free plan: Buffer's free plan allows more channels than ProPost's.
- Your team already works in Buffer and the per-channel model fits your budget.
