Buffer Aggregated Reviews

Some friends are using Buffer’s pro version. In terms of scheduling, it is very effective. It provides lots of analytical data. Still, it may not be equal to Hootsuite but my friends do not need it to use anymore.

I’ve never found anything completely free. However, several services use the Freemium model. Hootsuite , Buffer and SocialPilot all have free options.

I prefer Buffer, it allows you to schedule up to 10 posts on one account and after that you need to upgrade to continue using it. It is quite affordable.
The downside to scheduling posts when you are trying to grow/revive the account is that you sometimes need to share it in the engagment groups and put hashtags in the first comment when you post it, so it is a bit better to try manually posting in the beginning.

I use Buffer for Instagram, which works pretty well for the most part. You need to be mindful of the image ratio, but we are able to schedule up to 100 posts with the Pro version, which is way more than we need.
Other than the occasional hiccup with publishing (which we have to retry), we’ve had no problems.

I use free version of Buffer and if you want to automate several social media networks you can use:
From IFTTT to Pinterest/Twitter
From Instagram to Facebook directly
Between Buffer and Hootsuite , I feel that Buffer has a faster web app, Hootsuite Dashboard is too slow sometimes and I had a lot of problems with its app (iPhone XS).

I loved Buffer for years and still use it on occasion. They are easy to use! And they have a great chrome extension to make it easy to share anything from the web to any of your social network accounts.

I find Hootsuite too noisy and clunky when it come to posting on Instagram. I’ve been using Buffer for a few weeks now and enjoy its simplicity and the fact it gets the job done without the agitation of Hootsuite .

I ended up going with buffer after trying both for a bit. I have it for an instagram account i’m running for personal project. I made the switch about a year and a half ago and so far have been really enjoying buffer. It does schedule posts pretty far in advance, posts automatically and gives you some analytics on popular posts but you would need to upgrade to the top level to get more metrics.

I vastly prefer Buffer. They also have support for Instagram video posting coming soon (Instagram just made such posts available through the API the other day).

i used to use Buffer too, but i needed the extra analytics that Sprout Social provided.
