Buffer is a great fit for small business owners who want a simple, reliable way to stay active on social media without hiring a full-time marketer. The biggest pro is how easy it is to schedule content across many platforms at a very low cost — paid plans start at just $5 per month per channel. The main downside is that pricing adds up quickly if you manage many social channels, since each channel is billed separately.
