TryPost: the Buffer alternative priced per workspace
Buffer pioneered the modern social scheduler and still has one of the cleanest UIs in the category. It also charges per channel and locks AI features and team approvals behind higher tiers. TryPost matches Buffer's polish, prices at $12 per workspace, and ships every feature on every plan.
Why teams switch from Buffer to TryPost
Pay per workspace, never per channel
Buffer charges per channel ($6 to $10 each) and adds up fast across brands. TryPost is $12 per workspace (one brand or client) with unlimited team members. Add the whole team at no extra cost.
AI captions included, not an upsell
Buffer's AI Assistant is a separate paid add-on. TryPost ships AI captions, hooks, hashtags, and AI image generation in every plan, no tier gating.
MCP server for AI agents
Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client and let an agent draft, schedule, and analyze posts. Buffer has no equivalent.
Built for multiple brands and clients
One workspace per brand or client, with approvals and brand kits for each. Buffer's per-channel pricing punishes you for managing more brands. TryPost prices the same regardless of team size.

Switch if you...
- Want $12 per workspace, not per channel or per seat
- Need AI features without paying separately for an add-on
- Connect more than 4 social channels and want predictable pricing
- Want to plug AI agents (Claude, Cursor) directly into your scheduler via MCP
Stick with Buffer if you...
- Only manage 1 to 2 social accounts and the free tier covers you
- Need Buffer's specific Start Page / link-in-bio product (we point to your own)
- Have an existing Buffer integration in your stack you don't want to migrate
- Strongly prefer the most polished, mature UI and post for a single brand
