Switch

Why people switch to Postlaty

Create and publish in one tool

Buffer schedules what you already made. Postlaty generates images and videos with the same models creators use (Veo, Nanobanana, Kling, Recraft, Grok), then schedules them from one composer. You stop bouncing between a design app, an AI lab, and a scheduler.

Flat pricing instead of per-channel math

Buffer bills per channel, so 10 channels on Essentials is $50/month billed yearly before any AI image or video generation. Postlaty Starter is $29/month for 10 channels with AI generation, templates, inbox, and MCP. Pro is $39 for 20. Premium is $49 for 50. You always know the bill.

DMs in the inbox, models in the studio

Postlaty includes comments, mentions, and DMs in one inbox, plus REST and MCP so an agent can post. Buffer now ships an official MCP on every plan too, so on agents it is a fair tie. Buffer is still the stronger dedicated scheduler, but its engagement tools focus on comments and it is not a named-model studio.

200+ templates and UGC influencers

Postlaty includes 200+ editable templates and UGC influencer workflows so you can ship short-form content without a designer. Buffer offers post ideas and AI writing help, not a video template or UGC influencer studio.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends how many channels you connect and whether you need AI generation. For 1 to 3 channels of scheduling only, Buffer is usually cheaper. From about 5 channels up, or if you currently pay for both Buffer and a separate AI image/video tool, Postlaty is typically less expensive: $29/month for 10 channels, $39 for 20, $49 for 50, with generation, inbox, and MCP included.

Buffer offers AI help for captions and ideas. It does not include native image and video generation with models like Veo, Nanobanana, Kling, or Recraft. Postlaty ships those models in a dedicated AI tab, then lets you publish the result.

TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, Reddit, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Whop, Skool, Mastodon, Dev.to, Tumblr, Pixelfed. Buffer still wins on Google Business Profile, which we do not offer. If you only need a scheduler plus GBP, Buffer covers more. If you also need AI production and one inbox for comments, mentions, and DMs, Postlaty is the tighter fit.

Buffer has a free-forever plan (3 channels, 10 scheduled posts each). Postlaty offers a 7-day free trial with full product access instead of a permanent free tier.

Choose Postlaty if you want AI image and video generation, templates, and a comments, mentions, and DMs inbox in one subscription with flat channel-count pricing. Choose Buffer if you only need a scheduler, need Google Business Profile, or want a free plan for a few channels.
