PRICING COMPARISON

(so much more for the same price)


ContentStudio-logo

With ContentStudio, your clients and work will be organised with each client having a specified team working with them using workspaces. As an alternative to buffer, you can manage your team and work for each client by tagging/assigning tasks to your teams, while also ensuring team coordination with live comments on assigned tasks. Superior management and organisation for all your needs with ContentStudio as your Buffer Alternative.

 

While both ContentStudio and Buffer cost the same at $99/month, going for an annual subscription reduces the monthly cost for ContentStudio to $79/month while Buffer goes down to $85/month.

 

ContentStudio allows an unlimited amount of posts to be queued. Not only that, ContentStudio has designed an interactive planner with features to simplify handling your schedule. Being a Buffer Alternative, ContentStudio also offers you analytics without any hidden charges as your right to your data. You are also given access to our Content Automation feature that keeps your work on autopilot mode using powerful recipes.

Buffer-logo

If you already have a content marketing specialist and only need a simple and basic app from which your specialist manages 3 of your accounts for free, then buffer is also an interesting option.

 

However, buffer does not give you additional features without a price tag. If you want an analysis or a report of how your accounts are performing on every platform you need to make a seperate surcharge of $35/month. If you want to white label your reports as your own that comes to a total of $50/month.

 

If you want to queue more than 10 posts you need to upgrade your price plan to a higher one. If you have more than 3 social channels you need to subscribe to a more expensive plan.

 

While these features add on to a higher monthly rate, you are still bottlenecked with missing features that would otherwise reduce and simplify your workload greatly.
