Pros

“The scheduling is useful and the free version has enough features to make it suitable for most who are using to manage their own small business posting needs.”

Pupp R.

Owner

“My business is using an "everywhere, all at once" strategy to post across all social media channels and connected accounts in an effort to be where our customers want/need us when they are ready.”

Chris L.

“Buffer makes it easy to schedule out a month of posts on the major socials, and the AI tool can repurpose specifically for individual channels, as opposed to just cross posting.”

Chris L.

Cons

“It doesn’t happen often, but it can be frustrating when managing multiple accounts and relying on scheduled content to go out on time.”

Erika C.

“However, the lack of an editor tool like Google Editor and the problems with multiple changes require a lot of manual processing, so my general opinions are between positive and negative.”

“The cost feels expensive for the amount of features actually utilized with Meta for Business. If it wasn't for the blue checkmark, I would not pay for it”

Renata Z.

“I also found it to be a bit buggy when trying to integrate it with the various social media accounts.”
