The extension for the web browser is amazing and easy to use. The app for the smartphone is also very easy to use. The free version also has a lot of features. If you do not have a lot of social accounts, the free version works perfectly. You can track the engagement and analytics of your posts. You can actually comment and engage on your posts from the website or app\! It's very inexpensive. > > **Cons**: Nothing really. Sometimes a post gets blocked because of the link, but that's an issue with the social media site and not Buffer directly. > > Buffer is one of the more inexpensive social media scheduling and tracking sites. I really like how easy it is to link all my different social media accounts and schedule my posts ahead of time. It also makes it really easy to post to all my social media accounts at once. I like the browser extension that allows me to buffer an image, website, or page on the fly. I also use their app on my smartphone. It gives me all the tools I need for only about $8 per month. I also like that it offers analytics and tracking information on my posts. You can also republish an old post. Another feature I love is the ability to see all your post comments and comment back from Buffer. ----- ### "Simple easy to use application" — 5.0/5 > **Craige** | *December 24, 2022* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to setup and connect platforms in order to schedule out content. Simple onboarding process without many follow up emails > > **Cons**: despite platform being decent with features, they don't quite do pinterest like the other pinterest schedulers > > Really good application that does most right. Suits most of our needs. ----- ### "Just ok, nothing great" — 3.0/5 > **Stefan** | *September 27, 2024* | Luxury Goods & Jewelry | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nice and clean interface for desktop, easy to use. > > **Cons**: Beeds better support fot diffrent image formats. ----- ### "Social Media Built for Busy People" — 4.0/5 > **Kevin** | *September 7, 2021* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a business owner, I find myself wanting to use social media to promote my content. But having the time to do so is very time consuming. So here comes this software with an easy and alternative way to post on social media without having to take so much time and being able to what I like to call batch posting. This is the ability to post when you want and schedule those posts but you can drop all these posts beforehand and schedule them out instead of having to do them at the time you wanted to post. This is a huge game changer and makes it really easy to post on social media and still be active. > > **Cons**: I find myself hitting a barrier once again with these types of software. A lot like hootsuite there's a limitation on what you can do for the free account. I'm finding myself also wanting to post on Instagram for carousels and it doesn't quite work right and it makes it more inconvenient than just posting on my own. And at that point I find myself wanting just to use the original method. > > Overall experience is really great I found myself using more of a batching method and help retrain my mind and how to use social media for my business I found myself wanting to have more and so trying different software and making it so I can save time for the day is what I wanted to do and the software really helped. ----- ### "Buffer is my go-to social media scheduler" — 5.0/5 > **Ileane** | *February 15, 2022* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Buffer is flexible for my needs. I can post across multiple brands to all major platforms. > > **Cons**: There are times that I need to refresh the platform connections in order to clearly see the profile avatars. I'd like to see them all every time I open the dashboard. > > I'm pleased with the experience of using Buffer for all of my social scheduling. The platform is very reliable and it's easy to train new team members on the straight-forward dashboard. ----- Page: 1 / 61\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/91755/buffer?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/91755/buffer) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
