Buffer
A calm, straightforward place to plan your social posts, with an AI helper for writing them.
What is Buffer?
Buffer has been around for years and still keeps things refreshingly simple. You connect your accounts, write a post once, tweak it per network and drop it into a queue. The calendar shows what is going out and when.
The AI Assistant is a nice addition rather than the main event. It helps you brainstorm ideas, rewrite a caption to fit a different platform or repurpose a longer post into something shorter, right inside the composer.
The free plan covers a few channels, which is plenty for a side project. Paid plans start at $6 a month per channel, so the cost grows as you add networks. For small businesses and solo creators, it hits a sweet spot between features and simplicity.
Best for: Small businesses and creators who want simple social scheduling
