Is Buffer Worth It in 2025?
TL;DR
Buffer is solid for very clean ui, but if you want AI-written captions and a free tier, weigh it against Postbeam.
What you get with Buffer
A clean, beginner-friendly scheduler charging per channel, with a paid AI Assistant. Its biggest strength is very clean ui, starting at $6/channel/mo.
Where it falls short
The main trade-off: per-channel pricing gets expensive fast. For people posting daily, that adds up.
The verdict
Buffer is worth it if you specifically need very clean ui. If you'd rather have AI write your captions across all 10 platforms with a real free tier, Postbeam is the stronger pick.
