Buffer: Pros and Cons
Pros
- Long-established brand (10+ years)
- Simple, clean interface
- Low starting price per channel
- Strong integrations ecosystem
Cons
- Per-channel pricing gets expensive fast with multiple accounts
- No AI content generation
- Only 6 platforms (no Bluesky, Threads, TikTok on all plans)
- No post recycling or evergreen content
- No account marketplace for agents
- No team approval workflows
The verdict
Buffer is great for beginners with one or two channels. But the per-channel pricing model means costs escalate quickly. At 5+ channels, Lowtato's flat-rate plans are significantly cheaper while offering AI generation, 9 platforms, and an agent API that Buffer lacks.
