Buffer Pricing
Buffer · Marketing & Email
Buffer pricing starts at $6/user/month for the Essentials plan (or $5/month billed annually). Buffer offers 3 plans: Free, Essentials ($6/mo), and Team ($12/mo). The entry price has been stable since May 20, 2026.
Social media scheduling and analytics from a fully-remote 80-person company known for radical transparency (publishes salaries, revenue publicly). Positioned as the alternative to Hootsuite for small businesses and creators. Distinctive for its calm, no-upsell culture. Priced $6-$120/mo across four tiers. Losing ground to Hootsuite (enterprise) and Later (Instagram-first) but still profitable and cash-generative.
