With Buffer you can plan, schedule, and share your content to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X (Twitter), Pinterest, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, Google Business Profile, and Start Page all from one simple dashboard.
The plan you subscribe to will determine how many posts you can schedule in advance. Our Essentials and Team plans provide allow you to schedule up to 2,000 posts simultaneously, while our Free plan allows you to schedule 10 posts per channel, up to 30 total if you have three channels connected. Learn more about our scheduling limits in our Help Center.
Buffer allows you to easily schedule posts to multiple social channels by clicking the + New button at the top of your dashboard. Click the + New button to open the composer, and then simply click each channel to which you want the post scheduled. As you make your selections, channel avatars will be colored. Channel avatars that are not selected will remain uncolored.
