--- title: "Ravenpost vs Buffer: pricing and features compared" description: "An honest side-by-side of Ravenpost and Buffer — what each costs for the same number of connected accounts, what each does better, and where we simply lose." url: https://ravenpo.st/vs/buffer/ --- Comparison # Ravenpost vs Buffer Both schedule one post out to many social accounts. This page compares what they cost at the same size and what each one does better — including the parts where Buffer wins. Buffer's prices and features below were read from their own public pricing page on 2026-08-06. Prices move, so check ours against theirs: [Buffer pricing](https://buffer.com/pricing) ## What you pay for the same number of accounts Tiers aren't the same size on both products, so lining up “plan 1 vs plan 1” flatters whoever numbered theirs more generously. Instead: the cheapest plan on each product that covers the accounts you actually have. | Connected accounts | Ravenpost | Buffer | You save | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 5 accounts | $14 | $30 | $16 | | 15 accounts | $24 | $80 | $56 | | 50 accounts | $49 | $195 | $146 | Buffer bills per channel, so the column above is its own published rate at that size: $6 a channel for the first 10, $4 for channels 11–25, $3 for 26–50, on the one-seat Essentials plan. The Team plan, which adds seats and approvals, starts at $12 a channel. Monthly billing, US dollars. A dash means no plan on that product covers that many accounts. ## Feature by feature | Feature | Ravenpost | Buffer | | --- | --- | --- | | Free plan (not a trial) | | 3 channels | | A different caption per platform | | | | Per-platform preview before publishing | | | | Recurring posting queue | | | | Unlimited posts | Paid plans | Paid plans | | Analytics included | | 30 days on free | | MCP server (Claude, ChatGPT) | | | | Public API | | 1–5 keys by plan | | Link in bio | | Start Page | | Comment & message inbox | | Comments | | Approval workflow | | Team plan | | Team seats | | Team plan only | | AI content generation | | AI Assistant | | Image editor | Crop & reformat | | A dash means Buffer's pricing page doesn't mention that feature — it isn't a claim that they lack it. An amber check means partial support. ## Where Buffer is stronger - A free plan that never expires — 3 channels, 10 scheduled posts on each. - Pinterest, Google Business Profile and Mastodon: three networks we do not publish to. - Cheaper below three channels, since you pay $6 for one where our smallest paid plan is $14 for five. - Replying to comments is built in on every plan, free included. We do not do engagement at all. - An AI assistant, an ideas board and a hashtag manager, none of which we have. ## Where Ravenpost is stronger - Flat pricing. Fifteen accounts is $24 here and $80 on Buffer, because we never bill per channel. - Unlimited seats at $49. Buffer includes one user on Free and Essentials; more means the Team plan at double the per-channel rate. - Telegram channels, which are not on Buffer’s channel list. - A rendered preview per destination before you publish, instead of one composer for all of them. - Full analytics history on the free plan; Buffer’s free plan keeps 30 days. ## Platforms Ravenpost publishes to Every platform below is a finished integration, not a roadmap item. If you need a network we don't list, Buffer may well be the better choice. - Instagram - TikTok - X - Telegram - Facebook - LinkedIn - Threads - Bluesky - YouTube ## Scale your social presence for half the price Every paid tier is roughly half its Postiz equivalent.

For 15 connected accounts, yes: $24/mo against $80/mo on Buffer's cheapest plan that covers that many. At other sizes the gap changes — the table above prices three of them. Is there a free plan? Both do. Ravenpost's is one connected account and ten posts a month, no card, and it doesn't expire. Buffer offers a free plan of 3 channels with 10 scheduled posts each. Compare the caps rather than the word “free”. How do I move from Buffer? Reconnect your accounts through Ravenpost's OAuth flow — a few clicks each — and rebuild your posting schedule in Settings. There's no import tool: your existing scheduled posts stay where they are and publish from there, so run both until that queue drains. ## Comparing something else? - [vs Postiz](https://ravenpo.st/vs/postiz/) - [vs Post-Bridge](https://ravenpo.st/vs/post-bridge/) - [vs Publer](https://ravenpo.st/vs/publer/) - [vs Later](https://ravenpo.st/vs/later/) - [vs Metricool](https://ravenpo.st/vs/metricool/) - [vs Hootsuite](https://ravenpo.st/vs/hootsuite/) - [vs Statusbrew](https://ravenpo.st/vs/statusbrew/) ## Try it on the free plan first One account, ten posts a month, no card.
