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

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 accountsRavenpostBufferYou 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.

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  • Pinterest, Google Business Profile and Mastodon: three networks we do not publish to.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.

Questions people ask

Is Ravenpost cheaper than Buffer?

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.
