Buffer is one of the most cost-effective social media scheduling software programs out there! It's relatively easy to use and you can easily edit or delete posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Buffer allows me to schedule out my social media posts in advance so I don't have to worry about them every day. This software program gives me the peace of mind knowing my posts are ready to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Buffer?

Buffer is SIMPLE. It's user-friendly and easy to understand. I love being able to show my boss the quick layout to approve posts. The updates to design in the app that I've seen through the years have only made it better, and I plan to use it for a long time in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Buffer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm keeping my content consistent across platforms and easily getting my message out to our followers and beyond. I've been a user of Buffer through the past three companies I've worked at, over 7 years. It has been extremely beneficial in allowing me to schedule posts on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest through these companies, making my content cohesive with a single voice, and allowing me to schedule all my posts in one sitting, so I can focus on other things throughout my work day.
