Buffer

What it is.

Batch a week of posts in one sitting and stop thinking about it. Buffer's free plan connects up to 3 channels and holds 10 scheduled posts per channel.

You write the posts once a week, queue them, and stop thinking about it. The limit only bites when you add a fourth channel or want more than ten in the queue at a time.

What you get.

  • Up to 3 connected channels, free forever.
  • 10 scheduled posts per channel, which is a week of batching.
  • A calendar view, so the week doesn't land three posts on a Tuesday.
  • A browser extension for queueing something you found while reading.
HOW TO USE IT

How to set it up.

1

Connect the channels that matter and leave the rest, since free covers 3.

2

Set the posting times once, so scheduling becomes picking a slot instead of a time.

3

Batch a week of posts in one sitting, which is the habit the queue is built for.

4

Keep the queue near 10 per channel, since that's the free ceiling.

5

Check the calendar view before publishing, so the week doesn't land three posts on a Tuesday.

Use cases

Sunday batching

Queue a week of posts in one sitting and leave the calendar to release them.

Keep the company page alive

Cover the channels you post to without paying for the ones you do not.

Spread the week out

Use the calendar view so three posts do not land on the same afternoon.

Best for

A company page that posts weekly

Three channels and ten queued posts matches how often most B2B brands publish.

Founders posting personally

Queue a week of posts on Sunday and the account stays alive without daily attention.

Testing whether social is worth resourcing

Run it free for a quarter, then decide if the results justify a paid tool and a person.

Before you start
  • The social accounts you post to, and the logins to connect them.
  • A view on which channels matter, since the free plan covers three.
Strengths
  • Free forever on 3 channels, with no trial clock.
  • 10 scheduled posts per channel is enough runway for a weekly batching habit.
  • Paid plans are priced per channel, so growth costs are easy to predict.
Limitations
  • 3 channels is the free ceiling, and a fourth account means a paid plan.
  • 10 posts per channel in the queue, so batching a whole month is out.
  • Analytics on the free plan are thin, so reporting needs the native platform insights.
Skip this if
  • You already pay for a scheduler on more channels than the free tier covers.
Ideal for
  • Content teams
  • Founders
  • Small marketing teams
