How it works
The free plan covers 3 channels and 10 scheduled posts, which suits a single creator. Essentials at $6 per channel a month adds unlimited scheduling and analytics, and Team at $12 per channel a month adds collaboration and approvals.
Buffer is simpler than Hootsuite or Sprout Social and cheaper for small teams, but the per-channel pricing means a business active on six channels pays for six. For one to three channels it is one of the best-value schedulers available.
