Features agencies love
Built for how you work with clients
Everything in one place for your agency to move quickly
Only pay for what you need
Pay for channels, not seats
Most clients have a handful of channels. You only pay for those channels, and everyone on your team can log in freely.
Scale up or down with your roster
Win a client and add their channels in seconds. Wrap up a project and adjust just as easily.
Build it straight into your client pricing
Per-channel costs pass cleanly through to your packages, so your margins stay predictable.
The more you manage, the less you pay
Your per-channel rate steps down as your channel count grows, so taking on more clients lowers your cost per channel instead of raising it.
Add your whole team for free
Everyone gets their own login
Unlimited team members on the Team plan means no shared passwords and no user caps to work around.
Add freelancers and contractors freely
Bring people on for a project, remove them when it wraps, at no extra cost.
Run your whole portfolio from one account
One place for every client, every channel.
Keep access clean and accountable
Individual logins make audits and compliance straightforward.
Reports worth handing over
The report is the deliverable
Hand clients a clean PDF every month instead of rebuilding a deck from scratch.
Show the value of every channel
Cross-channel analytics in one view, so clients can see how their content is performing.
Report on any timeframe
Pull performance for any date range, from a monthly retainer to a one-off campaign.
Tell the story behind the numbers
Layer your analysis onto the numbers so clients get insights, not just charts.
Client access, your way
Keep clients in the loop, not in the way
Route content for sign-off before it goes live, and give clients a clear view of what's queued.
Set the level of oversight each client needs
Tight approvals for some, trusted auto-publish for others.
Control who sees what
Permissions keep each client's work separate.
Onboard a client in minutes
Add their channels, set their access, and you're live.

How does per-channel pricing work as my agency grows?
Buffer uses volume discounts for channels. That means your price per channel gets lower once you manage more channels, so adding more social profiles scales more affordably.
In practice, channels 1–10 are priced at the standard rate, and any channels above 10 cost less per channel. Your total may increase as you add channels, but your average cost per channel goes down as you grow.
