Buffer vs Sendible Comparison Chart

Pros

It sends out scheduled relevant content to my followers which in turn attracts more followers to my account.

Cons

There is nothing particular I don't like, the service does what it is expected to do. I have set it up once and forgot about it.

Buffer

Social media management platform

Pros

Buffer is a wonderful tool for scheduling, and spacing out, social media updates. It seems to work EVERYWHERE and 99% of what I share to the social networks is done via Buffer. It is easy to use and their support is outstanding!

Cons

About the only thing that I do not like about Buffer is that sometimes, for some reason, a post that you have created will fail to send. Now, if your social network connection needs to be refreshed, they will notify you of that.

Pros

Buffer makes it incredibly easy to schedule and post content to the most popular social networks.

Cons

It is supposed to send a push notification when a post is to be manually published, but even though notifications are set up properly it doesn't send the notification.

Social media management platform

Pros

I like the simple interface to manage multiple accounts (much less clunky than Hootsuite or Tweetdeck). Can schedule to publish Instagram posts.

Cons

Also, if the image is the wrong aspect ratio for an Instagram post, it will only send you a reminder which is fine but won't provide a crop or resizing tool.

Pros

I love Buffer! The part I like best is that it is super easy to navigate and it links up with Pablo which helps to create amazing graphics, memes, and social media posts. There are also tutorials and tips to help you!

Cons

There was nothing that I came up with that I did not love about Buffer. I sort of even loved it more than Hootsuite to be honest.

one and done. I can share up to 10 platforms instead of doing each one individually.

sometimes I have two of the same tweets appear. I think it's a user error though. Maybe posting advice?

Buffer

Social media management platform

Pros

I like that it allows at least 10 posts set up free, can control the posting time, as well as see how many clicks/follows/interactions each post is getting to know what is successful. It's a simple product that does what it should.

Cons

I also feel like Buffer sends too many administrative emails to users.

Buffer

Social media management platform

Pros

I love that every couple weeks, I can generate a bunch of Social Media posts, load them into Buffer.com and not have to think about that task again except to follow up on comments and engagement. Buffer makes this monumental task a breeze! I also love that you can set the timing of the posts as well as re-arrange/scramble the posts for each platform. Super handy so that if you engage with people across those accounts, they can see different posts at different times, which makes it come across more organically.

Cons

Even though there is the opportunity to format your post for each SM platform, they still don't translate that well. Because IG is the pickiest of the SM platforms, I've used that format as my main guide, but IG posts don't fit the LinkedIn frame, and videos longer than 60 seconds won't post to IG as a video, only as a link. And customer service is zero.

Social media management platform

Pros

Lots of features and great company culture. The stand-alone app plus the browser extension make scheduling social media posts easy in any situation.

Cons

Instagram still won't let third -party apps post for you, so (as with any social media scheduler), Buffer only sends a reminder about IG posts, and you have to post them yourself.

Pros

I can program all my social media post, even in more than one account. I can see a preview of the post organize by dates. When I have a error that would not let me publish a post, it lets me know what is the problem.

Cons

When the post is heavier than a limit that Buffer has it would not publish it, Buffer will just send me a reminder.

Social media management platform

Pros

Dependability. I love that I can schedule all of my social media posts for the week and not have to think about it. Rarely ever is there a time where a post has an error going out and usually if it does happens, it's Facebook because sometimes she acts ups for no reason. I also love the clean, user-friendly simplicity of the site. It doesn't take a lot of effort to train other users on how to use the software.

Cons

That was a game changer for me, because I often overlooked the reminders it would send me to post to Instagram.

Pros

manage all social content/updates into a single interface, connect all the most used social networks and send updates, schedule, track virality, etc.

Cons

Haven't identified a downside for this tool. If you need to manage many accounts (for the same social network) you may need to use the premium paid version (which is totally fine).

Pros

I liked this software better than Hootsuite because you still had control of hitting the send button as opposed to it posting on it's own.

Cons

What I liked least is that you could only schedule 10 posts at a time without paying for an account. This is normal but just not what we needed it for.

Social media management platform

Pros

It's really nice to have a program that can link all of our social media platforms. That wasn't always the case, but Buffer has since updated how they work and now i t's all in one place, which is super great.

Cons

Our team has several people creating and scheduling posts to go out, and sometimes Buffer would send a notification that there was a problem or a delay in posting, but when one person goes in to manually post it, it doesn't update on all devices, so sometimes we end up double posting.

I like that it's easy to use, navigate and I liked using it for a couple of my clients as I work as a Social Media Manager and I've used it for many clients because it was cheap and it worked pretty good.

Cons

After using this software for over a year or so, I noticed that a few times, my post didn't get published and the software didn't even send notification to my email or phone and I didn't post anything to social media when I needed to.

Social media management platform

Pros

This is what you've been waiting for. The one-stop, anywhere-you-are, oops-I-forgot-to-post-that, social media solution. With a few clicks and a few command-C's and V's, you'll be ready to post your update, announcement, sale, whatever you want. I don't love dealing with social media, especially on the business level, but Buffer makes it easy and painless.

Cons

And, sure, you can delete social media posts, but I start to miss the weird sweaty monkey arm you see when you're ready to send other things on other websites that makes you really want to be sure it's good to go.

Buffer

Social media management platform

Pros

What I like about this program is that you can manage your social networks in just 1 application, it is very useful for a person who has several social networks and wants to upload images or publish it immediately. The option that allows programming is very useful, since you can place something daily without always being connected.

Cons

What I do not like is the operation, which first has problems in instagram, since it does not have the automatic option to adapt the photos to be published automatically, since it sends error when uploading it.

Yet to use the enterprise level plans. But for me as a single license user, this is a winner. I'll probably end up getting their basic plan in Q3.

Buffer

Social media management platform

Pros

As a photographer, I rely heavily on social media, so social media assistants/schedulers are great for streamlining work. Some pros of Buffer are: - There are varying levels of accounts, including a free option, so you're sure to find a plan that works for you - Buffer has a strong analytics tool. The big plus here for me is that it will show you in plain english which posts perform better or worse (and you can filter them by engagement type). - Scheduling posts across platforms is literally as easy as one click. - The interface is simple and very user friendly.

Cons

It instead will send a notification to your phone to let you know that it loaded a photo into your Instagram account, and from there you take the lead

Social media management & monitoring for business users

Pros

We use the content review and approval system the most. It enables the team to seamlessly create content and have it published across various social networks. They also updated their reporting which is a huge improvement. I'm very happy with how the new reports look. It's a good value for the number of networks they include and the reporting.

Cons

The approval process could be made quicker (similar to Buffer) because it adds in an extra click which I don't think is needed.
