Comparison
Looking at Buffer?
Buffer is a good product. It has been refined for well over a decade, it is genuinely pleasant to use, and for a great many people it is the right answer — if what you need is to get posts out to a lot of networks reliably and see how they did, it does that better than most things ever do anything.
SupahPost is not a cheaper Buffer. It is aimed at a different job: making the content, not just scheduling it. The difference you would feel is that the post is made here — and fixed here, in a real layered editor and a real video timeline — before it goes on the calendar; that your own AI can read your numbers rather than only fill your queue; and that the bill does not go up when you connect another account. Analytics history: 3 months on Creator, 12 on Pro, 24 on Studio; Agency keeps everything.
This page lays out where the two differ, with the date each claim was checked, so you can decide which job is yours.

At a glance
Side by side.
| SupahPost | Buffer | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is built to do | Make the post, schedule it, and report what it did — in one workspace | Schedule and publish across many networks, and report what each post did |
| Pricing model | Flat monthly subscription — not per seat, not per connected account. $29 to $199 a month, with a yearly rate that works out cheaper. | Free plan, then from $5–6 per channel per month — the bill scales with how many accounts you connect |
| Published prices | Yes — four plans on the pricing page, $29 to $199 a month, plus Enterprise | Yes, on their pricing page |
| Networks it publishes to | Five — Facebook Pages, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X | More. If you need to publish to LinkedIn, Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon or Google Business Profile, Buffer does and we do not. |
| Image editing | A real layered editor — layers, blend modes, PSD import and export, a cutout tool | The composer is a scratchpad for text and attachments; design happens in Canva and is imported |
| Video editing | A timeline — split, speed, markers, keyframes — and a deterministic export | Not a video editor; video is uploaded already finished |
| AI generation | Generates the whole post — graphic, carousel, composite from a link — and every output opens in the editor above | AI assistance for writing and repurposing captions |
| Per-post earnings | Yes, for Facebook Pages in Meta's Content Monetization Program. The dollars are Meta's, reported per post; the rate per thousand views is calculated by SupahPost and labelled RPM (est.). Pages outside the program show an empty dollar column and everything else works the same. | No per-post earnings figure — reach, impressions and engagement |
| MCP server for an AI assistant | Yes — 266 tools, three levels of access, full audit log, revocable keys | Yes, official and free on every plan. Publishing scope: it can put posts into the queue. It does not expose analytics. |
| What your AI can reach | Performance data, the text platforms read out of your images, your photo library, and the tools that make the next graphic | The publishing queue |
| Maturity | New. Built and run daily by the person who writes this, and open to anyone with a card since 2026 | Over a decade of refinement, a large team, and a support organisation to match |

Choose Buffer
When Buffer is the right answer.
- You publish outside the five we cover. LinkedIn, Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon and Google Business Profile are Buffer's and not ours, and there is no plan that changes that.
- Your content is already made — by a designer, an agency, or in Canva — and what you need is somewhere to queue it and measure it.
- You want a free plan. Buffer has one; every plan here starts with a 7-day paid trial instead.
- You need a support organisation behind the tool, with phone numbers and shifts. Here, one person answers by email.
Choose SupahPost
When we are.
- Making the content is the expensive part of your week, not scheduling it. That is the whole reason this exists.
- You want to fix what the AI got wrong rather than re-roll it — real layers, a real timeline, in the same place the post lives.
- You run a lot of accounts and a per-channel bill has stopped making sense.
- You want your AI assistant reading your own numbers, not just filling your queue.
- Your Facebook Pages are in Meta's Content Monetization Program and you want per-post earnings beside everything else.
FAQ
Four questions people actually ask.
Is SupahPost cheaper than Buffer?
It depends entirely on how many accounts you run. SupahPost is $29 a month for five connected accounts and $69 for twenty, flat, whatever you connect; Buffer bills from $5–6 per channel per month, so the two cross over somewhere around five or six channels. At one or two channels, Buffer's free and entry plans are very hard to beat. Buffer also has a free plan and SupahPost does not — every plan here starts with a 7-day free trial instead. Buffer pricing last checked 2026-08-25; SupahPost prices 2026-09-03.
Does Buffer have an MCP server like SupahPost?
Yes, and it is free on every plan — this is not a gap. The difference is scope. As of 2026-08-25 Buffer's server is publishing-oriented: an assistant can put posts into your queue. SupahPost's exposes performance data, the text platforms read out of your images, your photo library, and the tools that make the next graphic, across 266 tools and three levels of access. Which matters depends on whether you want an assistant that posts or one that looks at your numbers and then makes something.
Can I use both?
Yes, and for a lot of people that is the sensible answer if you publish somewhere SupahPost does not. Make the content in SupahPost, export it, and publish wherever you already publish. Nothing SupahPost makes is locked in — every output is a real editable document and PSD export is built in.
Why does SupahPost publish to five platforms and not twelve?
Because doing it properly is more work than listing it. Facebook Pages, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X are connected with real account tokens, each has its own composition rules checked before anything is queued, and when a platform rejects a post you get the actual reason rather than a generic failure. Claiming a network before it works is not on the roadmap. If you need LinkedIn or Bluesky today, that is a genuine reason to use something else, and this page says so on purpose.
