Considered Both Products	Buffer Lauren Rich, aPHR™ Social Media Manager Chose Buffer Sprout social buffers content for accurately then Buffer Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Buffer Buffer is way easier to use and setup than Hubspot and Meta. You'd think Meta would make it easy to post on both Facebook and Instagram, but I have consistently run into issues when uploading files. I've never had an issue with Buffer. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Buffer Buffer is simple and easy to use and has a great free version. Incentivized Helpful? Allie Cobb Digital Director Chose Buffer Buffer is much more affordable than Hootsuite. Another benefit is that Buffer allows more accounts to be loaded onto the platform. Hootsuite charges in tiered levels based on how many accounts you want to load onto the software. This makes it difficult to schedule and post for … Incentivized Helpful? James Crook Business Coach at The Health Leader Co Chose Buffer Buffer's interface when logged in is more beautiful and easier to use than the others I've tried. Especially HighLevel which does a lot of other stuff as well - the difference with Buffer is that it is ONLY for social scheduling so it does that really well and the entire screen … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Buffer Buffer is way more user-friendly and gets straight to what I need to do. There is no frilly extra stuff—it's straight to the point. Buffer incorporates all the parts of the apps as well. Incentivized Helpful?

JB Joe Brown CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) Chose Buffer They all solve the same problem. Buffer initially started as a way to post content without worrying about the "when". Just add to the queue, and Buffer would post at a specified cadence. Buffer's price point is very reasonable for the services that it offers. They've grown … Incentivized Helpful? Jesse Sumrak Senior Content Marketing Manager Chose Buffer I think Sprout Social and Hootsuite provide more comprehensive tools and analytics, but they have more expensive plans that don't cater to businesses of all sizes. Plus, all of that complexity can make it hard to find what you're looking for. That's where Buffer excels. It's … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Buffer Buffer has a clear, easy to use interface and a reliable scheduling calendar. Incentivized Helpful? Luke Paulin Marketing Director Chose Buffer Buffer had the best free version, but Zoho social had the most social media channels available in the price range. Hootsuite was the tool we first wanted, but the price was considerably more, for tools we are not sure if we need at this time. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Buffer In my opinion, Hootsuite has it all, except TikTok, which hopefully will open up some sort of interface soon.

AK Ann Korb Chose Buffer I also used Combin which is easy and free to use. However, Combin only posts when the computer is active and connected to the internet.

Hootsuite on the other hand is more likely … Incentivized Helpful? Harsh Hingorani ⚡️ Product Marketing Manager Chose Buffer The reason for selecting Buffer was mainly due to good UI and easy to use functionality.

User Testimonials
	Buffer	RADAAR
Likelihood to Recommend	It is a very interesting tool for entrepreneurs or CEOs of startups who do not have much time to manage social media communication and also have few resources at the beginning of their venture. It can also be convenient for small companies that do not have specific personnel with training in community management and require easy-to-use tools to carry out the basic actions of scheduled publication on social media. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	RADAAR is very well suited for bulk content scheduling across different social profiles. It's great to store passwords for different profiles in the passbook so you don't have to remember them all the time. It's really great for your own work, however, the post-approval feature for clients is not released yet. So if post-approval is a major concern for the users, they should wait for the RADAAR team to roll out this feature. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	I can plan and publish content on social channels. Buffer's interface is quite tidy and generates the necessary facilities to save us time in publishing consistent content. It has a special price; it is pretty affordable. It has the possibility of integrating with other tools to improve its functions. Incentivized LE Luz Ellis Senior SEO Project Manager Read full review	Bulk scheduling of content for multiple social media profiles with CSV import Real-time monitoring of all the social profiles with the Stream modules Social Inbox displays the details of messages and comments done on our profiles. Plus the ability to filter them and reply from Radaar Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Analytics-- The analytics on the Pro plan are limited at best. You can simply review your posts from the past 30 days, but you can't access any analysis (or even simple tallying of Likes, Shares, etc.) without upgrading to the Premium or Business plans, which are otherwise more than we need at the moment. Publish+Reply+Analyze-- It's a bit tedious to have these basic social media functions/tools separated out as three distinct products, as well as overkill for a small nonprofit without a dedicated social media team. I imagine each tool is good at its job if you need 'em. Linking to Accounts-- Buffer seems to lose touch with Facebook and LinkedIn somewhat frequently. It's vaguely annoying but very simple to fix, so I just roll with it. Incentivized Michelle Green Arnson Marketing and Communications Manager Read full review	Content creation and the Calendar should be in different sections as the calendar makes the tool slower. Ability to crop images directly in the content creation window and also the option to add a Watermark to the created content. Bulk delete the posts which are no longer needed. Ability to add Labels in the posts in bulk or add an option to add labels at the import CSV option Introduce an editor like google docs for the WordPress posts creation and scheduling. Media library should be added to upload and host images and videos for use in posts. For Twitter, there should option to Retweet the performing posts and setup automations. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Ease of use, affordability, time saved and just love for the app and the team. It's not a miracle tool that will suddenly increase your company's value or leads, you still need to put in quality posts, thoughts and content but when used regularly and with thought, you'll be happy in the long run Deanna Ayres SEO/Growth Hacker & Community Outreach Supervisor Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	Easy enough to use even my boss got it right away. It helps to off-set the workload to less active times, and we can preschedule way in advance, which also helps to keep the team on track as we know what we have planned and want to reach our milestones before posts go online. Incentivized AK Ann Korb Read full review	RADAAR is a robust tool, and it is constantly being developed. As an early adopter, I can say that this is definitely a steal. Who knows how powerful RADAAR can be in the near future. It constantly follows the lead of all the leading platforms, and it adapts in every way possible. Again, a community-based SAAS development makes this tool very very useful. Incentivized Jao Ortega Business Owner Read full review
Reliability and Availability	Buffer is always on hand and very reliable, their software suite rarely has outages Incentivized Len Gordon Art Relations Read full review	No answers on this topic
Performance	Buffer performs well on both desktop and mobile platforms. The one area as I have stated before is that it does not always want to automatically push to Instagram and the user will have to go do it manually. Buffer works very well pushing to other platforms. The instagram issue is the only reason buffer does not get a 10 on this section Incentivized FH Frankie Heath Director of Social Marketing Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	It really helped to my business to grow online. I was able to take actions mindfully as the analytics are damn good. Also used for managing clients social media accounts and it proved to be a best resource. Clients were really happy as they got high demand and growth on internet and the secret is Buffer. The user interface is really easy to understand and manage. Support is 24/7 available to help. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I have gotten in touch with the support team just a few times since RADAAR is quite easy to use. But on those few occasions, the team had been very responsive and applied the needed urgency. Even the founder is very active and attentive to user concerns and needs. The future is indeed bright. Incentivized Jao Ortega Business Owner Read full review
Implementation Rating	We were very satisfied with the implementation of Buffer. We had no issues switching from the platform that we were using over to buffer. Our staff did not even miss a beat when it came to posting content. It was an easy transition and I feel that is something that buffer has really done well. They have an "out of the box" usability platform Incentivized FH Frankie Heath Director of Social Marketing Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Both of them are great at their own levels but I find Buffer quite easy to go and the way they perform every task is quite like my way of work so I personally like Buffer more, it has helped me save my most of the time hence improved my work efficiency and also the creativity they put into my work is outstanding. The support I get whenever I run into problems they provide a quick response every time. Mishka Panwar Researcher Read full review	No answers on this topic
Scalability	Buffer does what it say on tin as they say! you can always count on Buffer. Buffer can be scale to 25 social account with 2,000 scheduled post which is enough for most agencies or businesses Incentivized Len Gordon Art Relations Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	It has saved money by allowing us to automate our social using one person It allows us to connect one channel at a time instead of wasting money on larger account management tools We are making money, because it has already delivered several clients Incentivized Joseph Kahn President and Director of Marketing Read full review	RADAAR reduced our manpower cost by doing our posts in bulk Efficiency of posting (less errors because all are pre-planned) Faster client responses Incentivized Jao Ortega Business Owner Read full review
