Community Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A really helpful tool for community managers. Even for beginners! " February 7, 2022 5.0 Pros Buffer becomes a really simple-to-use software for community managers in charge of many social media accounts, specially those who doesn't have a schedule-programming feature in their platforms, such as LinkedIn. You can create short-URLs for saving space on your captions. Also, in case you're the social media account owner, you can link your channels to Buffer and then let your team post directly from here, skipping all of the assigning new editors/admins on every single Facebook or LinkedIn page process, for example. Of course, you get an analytics panel for checking out how's everything going. Another cool feature, is that you can set an extension on your browser, so you can create posts with a really quick and easy access to the Buffer platform. And, most important for many, it has a free plan, but also its paying options are accessible for small agencies or freelancers. Cons Ok so it's kind of obvious that the main disadvantage of this software these days, is that you have other free tools out there such as Creator Studio in the case of Facebook and Instagram. However, in case you work with other platforms that don't allow this programming features such as Linkedin, this will help you. Also, in case you choose the free plan, you get a limited 10 scheduled post per social channel, among other obstacles like no IG stories scheduling. It does not have TikTok yet on its channels, which can be a little bit of trouble for some. Specially since many brands are now being part of this social media. Review Source Darien C. Youth Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the best social media management platforms with a high price for teams" January 14, 2020 5.0 Overall, Buffer is an excellent platform that offers incredible features - but due to the high price for simple features like team management & multiple users, it is not for me. While our social media team was just me, I found it to be the very best platform for social media management - offering a simple UI & high quality features for the free & low-tier accounts - as our team grew, we rapidly outgrew Buffer simply due to pricing, and found that there were similar products at a lower price point that would fit our needs. Pros Buffer is perhaps one of the simplest & easiest social media platforms on the market today; offering comprehensive and crucial features for managing your social media streams. This platform allows for the easy management of multiple social media accounts, allowing you to customize post-times & days, and then schedule posts quickly via the Queue only for those days. It offers built in analytics, direct posting to Instagram & Instagram stories, team management features & more - assuming you are willing to pay for those features. Overall, Buffer was probably my favorite social media management platform due to its simplicity & base features, yet it suffers in a few key areas. Cons I loved using Buffer for the period of time that I actually used it, but quickly discovered that the platform could not suite my needs because of one insurmountable obstacle - price. As a non-profit youth organization, having a low overhead cost for platforms such as this is extremely important, and I quickly found myself unable to continue using Buffer as my social media team grew simply because I could not afford their $65 CAD/month just to be able to have a second user (without admin privileges). The added features like direct Instagram Story & first comment seem interesting for me, but not at the cost $663/annually when there are alternatives (be it, with less features) out there that offer a lower overhead cost AND non-profit discounts. Furthermore, while the platform itself is extremely simple to use, I found their pricing structure & different brand building products to be quite confusing - with products such as "Reply", "Publish" and "Analyze" featuring little to no immediately accessible descriptions, and each one carrying a different pricing structure & subscription requirement. Lastly, one feature I've found on other social media platforms (but not on buffer) that I wish were available is the ability to draft a single post that can be queued in multiple social media channels, and customized for each channel. With buffer, you would need to recreate each post - which can take added time dependent on your social media channels. Switched from [Later Social](https://www.capterra.com/p/152254/Later/) Later's Instagram auto-post feature started to fail, with scheduled posts failing to post & Later refusing to notify us.

Virtual Assistant Writing and Editing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Redesigned our information presentation" January 14, 2023 5.0 I have a wonderful experience with Buffer. To be honest I am still using it and I am loving it. I am so glad that I discover this software. Setting the standard of skills and management in social media. Pros What I like the most about Buffer is the Scheduling of your content. It gives you more time to do other task once you are done scheduling them. It is easy to setup and navigate and hassle free. Cons I don't see any problem of using Buffer. I feel light after scheduling my content to buffer. I never encounter any missing post of my content. Switched from [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/) You can manage your content but it is not automatic posting. You need to do it manually and it eats more of my time. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Foundation Relations Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Affordable and Well-integrated Post Scheduling Tool" August 30, 2022 5.0 Pros I primarily use Buffer as a social media post scheduler. It has the features I require (broad social media integration, post-scheduling, campaign management) in an easy to use package. My small publishing business has three separate social media channels (on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter). Without an all-in-one solution like Buffer, I wouldn't be able to maintain engagement with followers to the degree I am. Thanks to post scheduling, I can queue up a number of posts (and customize days, times, etc. when they will appear on each platform) and then focus on engaging with commentors rather than simply drafting posts. What's more, Buffer offers a generous free plan that allows users to manage a limited number of posts on up to three channels. Given the volume of my social media output, this is perfectly tailored to my need. If I would ever need to increase the amount or pace of my posts, given the scheduling and campaign-management features Buffer has demonstrated, I would be happy to pay the subscription fee. Cons Given the low cost option (i.e. free) and the functionality I receive with post-scheduling, there is little to complain about with Buffer. I had previously used a different post-scheduler that dropped all support for free plans. While I understand the business demands that drive such decisions, I appreciate the fact that Buffer has maintained this as an option. As a result, I make six posts across three channels every week and have consistently grown my followers (and thus enhanced my reach). Alternatives considered [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Reason for choosing Buffer Buffer offers a free plan, whereas competitor post-scheduling tools did not. Switched from [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Hootsuite no longer offered a free plan that met my needs, whereas Buffer did. Review Source Devyani S. Customer relationship associate Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of a kind of multi account social media management tool for startups" April 6, 2022 5.0 Entirely, buffer is best tool to manage multiple client's social media account at one place and taking note of all post metrics without going top each of the social media platforms. Price should be lesser or they should have optional feature section based on price. Pros I liked their integration process, they made it easy to link your account at once to multiple social media account. They always update their software integration. Even with post scheduler, I can be able to plan ahead and schedule all posts. They do not have Instagram story scheduling, but they have reminder. All these things are easy for a new person entering into this field. Cons I have not liked the way they mask our links on social media post's caption. It completely ruins our reputation over our client base. They should provide at least a shortening option like Bitly or goo.gle. Many of the times scheduled posts misses its time and get scheduled on other time. This also makes things worse if you're promoting a campaign. Review Source James R. Chief Investment Officer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid social media management platform with reasonable price." June 10, 2023 4.0 Good platform for solid social media connections and publishing features. It would be nice if the interactive features were included for the base price. Pros I like their logo and their multi platform functionality. Cons I dislike having to pay more for the interactive inbound connectivity. Alternatives considered [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Reason for choosing Buffer Buffer offered a better value and nicer logo. Switched from [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Buffer offered a better value and nicer logo. Review Source Cole S. CEO Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We tolerate buffer" February 14, 2023 3.0 i for the most part tolerate Buffer. They do have really good customer service which is nice. Pros We really like how easy it is to schedule a content and work seamlessly between different devices all while managing the same clients Cons We have had a few issues with posts, not posting, or the accounts suddenly being unlinked. This has caused us a decent amount of issues. Review Source SJ Sydni J. Author Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Buffer is a Lifesaver and a Timesaver" February 17, 2023 5.0 The business problem that I was able to solve with Buffer was time-management. Pros The feature that I like most about Buffer is it's ability to schedule social media posts. As an indie author, my time is best spent writing. I don't really care for social media, but I understand that is an important part of marketing. Buffer grants me the one-stop mentality of scheduling my posts ahead of time, while still being able to focus on my craft. Cons Initially, the one thing I liked least about Buffer was the minimum amount of queue posts allowed for the free account, but with the lowered price for the Essentials tier convinced me to give it a shot. Review Source PT Priya T. Senior Data Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It is a basic but essential tool for social network programming" October 18, 2023 5.0 We utilize Buffer to coordinate our company's presence across numerous social media platforms. We can upload all of our content by using it to schedule the publication calendar. Content is reviewed and approved by the user's permission level. Using Buffer, we can see at a glance whether or not we have scheduled too much or too little material across all of our social media channels. I have used Buffer for about three years, and it has helped me a lot in my work; also, its cost could be a lot higher, and being a very intuitive tool, it represents a good investment. It is very suitable for anyone, whether a professional or a beginner; it works very well for small, medium, or large companies; it is ideal for people who want to edit an image for a publication on social networks. Pros It's a fantastic platform for social media management with many helpful features (including adding text to images before posting them on social media) and helpful customer service (including the possibility to schedule posts in advance across multiple channels). It has a straightforward design that makes it easy to get up and running. And let's remember its review system, enabling us to check articles for coherence well before publication. Cons Fixing the problems you have when you try to contact users and when users try to respond would be a big step in the right direction. Review Source Jordan R. Author Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Buffer, the Only Way to Manage Social Media" November 20, 2018 4.0 If not for Buffer I would not be able to post regularly to social media. I don't get on the various platforms enough to post everyday, and Buffer makes it possible to bring a message to my audience on a consistent basis. Pros I love using Buffer to plan out my social media strategy. Here is what I love most about it: 1) It easily integrates with Twitter and Facebook. It works with Pinterest and Instagram, but I only use it for Facebook and Twitter. 2) You get to use it for free for up to 10 scheduled posts at a time (as of this writing) and this allows you to be sure that it works for you and for your needs. 3) The team at behind Buffer is fantastic. The few times I needed to contact support I was helped right away and my issue taken care of just like that. Their emails are funny and you can tell that they love what they do. Cons Honestly there isn't a lot I dislike about Buffer. If I had major problems with it I would have switched over to Hootsuite or a similar app. In the end, here are three things I could Buffer could improve upon. 1) The UI can be a bit clunky at times. I think it could use a makeover. It's not terrible by any means but it can be confusing to figure out. 2) Sometimes the extension doesn't connect right, and it gets stuck in a loading pattern. 3) I often have to go and reauthorize twitter or Facebook to work again. It can get annoying to do this over and over. Overall, these downsides are only slight and don't stop me from loving Buffer. Review Source Response from Buffer November 27, 2018 Hi, Jordan, thank you so much for the review and feedback. Our engineers and designers have been working hard to rebuild the infrastructure and look of Buffer. I hope that will improve the user interface and minimize those issues. -Alfred Midori S. Manager Consulting Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Control the content of your social sites " May 17, 2023 5.0 Buffer is a very useful tool for companies in the management of their social network profiles, since it allows greater efficiency and effectiveness in the publication and analysis of content on several platforms at the same time Pros I like this tool because it allows you to schedule and post content to multiple platforms at the same time on your same site. Its main features include scheduling and publishing social media posts, tracking social media analytics, and managing multiple social media accounts from a single interface. In addition, this tool allows companies to establish a consistent publishing schedule and schedule publications on a regular basis, which helps to maintain an active and constant presence on social networks Cons I have not experienced bad operations with this system, but I could consider that the most accessible versions are more limited Review Source Elizabeth H. Owner Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and essential for my business" February 10, 2021 5.0 Buffer is one of the more inexpensive social media scheduling and tracking sites. I really like how easy it is to link all my different social media accounts and schedule my posts ahead of time. It also makes it really easy to post to all my social media accounts at once. I like the browser extension that allows me to buffer an image, website, or page on the fly. I also use their app on my smartphone. It gives me all the tools I need for only about $8 per month. I also like that it offers analytics and tracking information on my posts. You can also republish an old post. Another feature I love is the ability to see all your post comments and comment back from Buffer. Pros The ability to link to all different social media accounts. The extension for the web browser is amazing and easy to use. The app for the smartphone is also very easy to use. The free version also has a lot of features. If you do not have a lot of social accounts, the free version works perfectly. You can track the engagement and analytics of your posts. You can actually comment and engage on your posts from the website or app! It's very inexpensive. Cons Nothing really. Sometimes a post gets blocked because of the link, but that's an issue with the social media site and not Buffer directly. Alternatives considered [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Reason for choosing Buffer I started out with the free version of Buffer and liked it, so I ended up upgrading to the paid version. It's also much cheaper than Hootsuite. Review Source Phil J. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Streamline Your Social Media with Buffer" February 2, 2023 5.0 To summarize, Buffer is a helpful tool for individuals and businesses who want to simplify and streamline the management of their social media accounts.

Digital Marketing Director Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A gigantic solution to govern networks" March 18, 2023 4.0 In my general review I can mention that it is a great choice for those looking to optimize their social media management. Its easy-to-use interface and its attachment to popular social media platforms have made it a major asset for many organizations. Pros What fascinates me the most about this tool is that Buffer is easy to use for developing and disseminating on social networks. It has saved us a lot of time compared to directly proclaiming on each social media platform. Cons Since we have been using this instrument, we have not found a single failure. Rather, I can mention that this product is one of the best out there because Buffer helps us develop our own ads and promotions on social networks, it helps us to being ahead of our time in our own social media marketing efforts.

En plus de ça, j'ai triplé ma productivité sur mon travail Pros Buffer permet de gérer plusieurs comptes de médias sociaux (comme Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) à partir d'un seul tableau de bord. Cela simplifie la planification et la publication de contenu sur différentes plateformes. Cons Buffer ne prend pas en charge toutes les plateformes de médias sociaux. Par exemple, certaines fonctionnalités peuvent être limitées sur des plateformes telles que Snapchat ou TikTok. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager, People & Possibilities Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Buffer - A Good Tool for Social " December 1, 2020 4.0 Overall it does what we need it to do. It's a good tool, not fantastic, but I have yet to find one that is... so all in all I think Buffer does a great job for the price of the software. I do like how all analytics are in one place and how you can have multiple users and editors working on your social copy. It has definitely made social media management easier. Pros I do like the ease of use and functionality. It has a clean interface and you can select from a couple of different plan options, including one for posting and analyzing your social media accounts. Cons There are limitations. I wish I could go in and schedule weeks or even months worth of content, but I can't because Buffer does not allow you to post carousel photos on Instagram or LinkedIn. We often share more than one photo on our posts so I have to go and manually do that for those networks when we have more than one photo. I hope that functionality will integrate soon because it is a huge downfall of the platform. However, all other platforms are facing this issue, it's not unique to Buffer.

Senior Java Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent for communicating, saving time, and the greatest tool for managing your social networks" December 18, 2022 4.0 Pros How simple it is to utilize Buffer to schedule your articles on various platforms is what I appreciate best about it and what I think is most beneficial. The user interface of Buffer is well-organized and gives us the resources we need to submit our content promptly and regularly. The setting is straightforward, and they often make updates and enhancements to maximize its functionality. In just a few simple steps, I can link my social media accounts, and with a single click, I can plan posts across all of my tracks. From here, I can also begin to design my page. The premium edition offers crucial data and is excellent for managing numerous accounts. I appreciate how you can add special tags to each platform to make it your own. Cons Companies don't have enough resources for individual initiatives, therefore we need to address these difficulties right away with careful consideration at every step. For email, ad spending tracking, SEO management, etc., nothing was offered. If it had been a comprehensive tool, my team might have been able to maintain a buffer. The only significant issue that hinders my work is a bug that appears when you attempt to load numerous photographs at once. If I can't quickly locate the solution to my query in their help center, I would appreciate a fast tiny chat box that can send me on the proper path. Review Source Julie Anna E.

Whenever I've had issues, customer service has always been kind and helpful. Pros It covers all our bases and allows me to post for all 6 of our dealerships, cross post across platforms, and bulk prep posts. This allows you to plan out your content and share it to Facebook & Instagram and anywhere else at once if you choose. Has lots of cool features and is always having some new updates and integrations. Cons Sometimes there are posting issues. Sometimes when you try to post a link with your content it tries to change it into an odd Buffer link. This makes the link look like spam Alternatives considered [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Review Source Jason D. Data Management Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Still one of the best social media schedulers" October 9, 2018 4.0 Pros Quick to schedule social media posts to multiple accounts in a few clicks. Extremely versatile and easy to use. I have used many social media scheduling tools over the years but keep coming back to Buffer. I actually used the free version for many years but as a business grows and your social media presence grows it is better to pay for a solution that allows you to manage them all under one roof. When it comes to scheduling posts, the interface is clean and simple and easy to use. There is link shortening too if required. The limit for queued posts is 100 per social media account which is easily enough for at least a month's worth of posts so should be sufficient for most users. Automatic Instagram posting is a relatively new and welcome addition to Buffer. Support are pretty responsive when required but I haven't needed much from them in all honesty. All in all I really like Buffer. It is considerably cheaper than many of its competitors and does what it does really well and if someone is looking to buy into a paid social media scheduling tool I would recommend they start here. Cons RSS feed can be a bit clunky. Is 8 accounts generous enough? You are "limited" to 8 social media accounts on the Pro plan which sounds a lot but can be filled up quickly. They reduced this in March 2018 from 10 to 8 which was disappointing. Another disappointment is the lack of a native way to enable bulk scheduling by uploading a csv file. This is available in other schedulers (although they are considerably more expensive than Buffer). Fortunately there is a solution in the form of a 3rd party application called "bulk buffer" (just do a Google search for it). Review Source Response from Buffer October 11, 2018 Hi, Jason, thank you for the kind review and honest feedback about our tool. If you are up for sharing, I would love to hear more about the RSS feed. I also hear you regarding the account limits and bulk scheduling. We have heard similar feedback about the account limits and have been thinking about how we could improve that. Thanks again for the feedback.

September 27, 2021 5.0 We've had a great experience with Buffer with no reason to seek out other options. Flexible options for small businesses to get started with building a social media presence. Pros The ability to schedule posts in advance and publish to multiple social media platforms at the same time has been a huge help for our team. Prior to implementing Buffer, a member of our team had to go into each social media platform to publish posts, which led to social media neglect. Buffer has helped us keep our content fresh and consistent. Cons Buffer decreased the functions in the free account which required us to switch to a paid account to maintain certain functions. We understand the business decision behind it, but at the time, we were watching the limited budgets as a result of COVID, so the change was unexpected.

I would have appreciated it even more if it offered a larger number of social networks to connect. But overall, the management of the connected profiles was quite simple and efficient. Moreover, the statistical data are easy to understand, which helped me to better manage my publications. A tool that I invite everyone to test Pros I liked Buffer. It's a pretty user-friendly tool and easy to use. It's quite easy to connect your social networks to it for managing pages and profiles. It has a pretty simple and easy-to-understand user interface, which makes it easy to learn. It takes into account popular social networks, which is already a good thing. Posts and post schedules are also quite easy to do with Buffer. The real strength of Buffer lies in the statistical data. We get detailed and comprehensive data on the reach of our publications. It is good to note that Buffer allows team collaboration, very useful to have your profiles and pages managed by an agency.

Director of Learning and Development for EB Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Free Product" November 14, 2023 5.0 I moved from a different platform that limited how many pending posts you could have. This has been a great move and I'm happy that I did it. Pros Buffer allows me to quickly and easily create and schedule posts for LinkedIn. It even has a handy place to store ideas to post later. I'm on the free version and can set up a large number of posts in advance. While I believe there's a limit, I haven't hit it. I usually have 5 or 6 pre-planned at any time. It's easy to post, find the day on the calendar you wish to post and begin typing. You can narrow down the time to the exact minute you want to post. That's a very handy feature! Cons There are other features that would be helpful but you can only use them if you're on the paid plan. The system will ask if you want to do xyz then when you click yes you find out you have to pay for that feature. It would be nice if they would say up front, do you want to try xyz feature on the paid plan or something like that. Switched from [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Hootsuite began limiting the number of posts you could have pending. It made it incredibly difficult to use.

Business Owner Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Social Media Built for Busy People" September 7, 2021 4.0 Overall experience is really great I found myself using more of a batching method and help retrain my mind and how to use social media for my business I found myself wanting to have more and so trying different software and making it so I can save time for the day is what I wanted to do and the software really helped. Pros As a business owner, I find myself wanting to use social media to promote my content. But having the time to do so is very time consuming. So here comes this software with an easy and alternative way to post on social media without having to take so much time and being able to what I like to call batch posting. This is the ability to post when you want and schedule those posts but you can drop all these posts beforehand and schedule them out instead of having to do them at the time you wanted to post. This is a huge game changer and makes it really easy to post on social media and still be active. Cons I find myself hitting a barrier once again with these types of software. A lot like hootsuite there's a limitation on what you can do for the free account. I'm finding myself also wanting to post on Instagram for carousels and it doesn't quite work right and it makes it more inconvenient than just posting on my own. And at that point I find myself wanting just to use the original method. Alternatives considered [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Reason for choosing Buffer I wanted to try buffer, because it offered a different type of software limit compared to Hootsuite. Switched from [Airtable](https://www.capterra.com/p/146652/Airtable/) The software is more specific for posting and scheduling whereas I could schedule what I wanted to post but not actually post it in air table.
