## ShipRadar verdict

Buffer schedules posts across your social accounts, and its AI assistant is included even on the free plan (3 channels, 10 queued posts each).

- Best for: Small businesses and creators who want to plan a week of posts in one sitting.
- Not great for: Agencies running many brands. Per-channel pricing adds up.
- Watch out: The free plan holds only 10 scheduled posts per channel at a time, across up to 3 channels.
