Buffer facts come from its official site. Prices and features change, so check their site before you decide.

When Buffer is the better fit

  • You post to more networks than LinkedIn and X, such as Instagram, TikTok or YouTube.
  • A team or several clients share one account and need approvals and access levels.
  • You already write your posts and mainly need a reliable queue at a low price per channel.

How HireSteward differs

  • Posts start from notes about your real work, and autopilot is instructed never to invent stories or numbers.
  • Autopilot can run the whole loop: pick the topic, write, add a visual, check quality, publish and learn from the results.
  • Visuals come built in: diagrams, code cards, carousels and short narrated videos made from the post itself.
  • Pricing is per plan, not per channel, and Pro covers both LinkedIn and X.
