Common questions

Is Postqued cheaper than Buffer?

It depends on how many connected accounts you manage. Postqued starts at $9/month for five accounts and Creator includes 20 accounts for $29/month. On month-to-month billing, Buffer Essentials costs $30 for five channels and $100 for 20 after its volume discount; Buffer Team costs $60 and $160 respectively.

How many platforms does Postqued support?

Postqued supports 10 platforms live today: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Mastodon, Bluesky, and X. All 10 are included on every plan.

Does Buffer have a free plan?

Yes. Buffer offers a Free plan for basic scheduling with limited queued posts per channel. Paid plans add more channel capacity and team features, with pricing based on connected channels.

Do both products offer API access?

Yes. Postqued includes API access on every plan, along with MCP automation. Buffer also documents API access across its plans with plan-based limits, so the right choice depends on the workflow and quota model you need.

Which scheduler is better for multiple accounts?

Postqued is designed for bundled account management: Solo includes five connected accounts, Creator includes 20, Pro includes 30, and Agency removes the connected-account cap. Buffer can work well for a small channel set, but paid pricing scales per connected channel.

Does Postqued include collaboration features?

Postqued includes unlimited workspaces and unlimited team seats on Pro and Agency. Buffer offers team members and approval workflows through its Team plan, with the workspace and channel structure handled separately.

How does customer support compare?

Postqued gives you direct access to the founder at hasnain@postqued.com. Buffer provides a Help Center and customer support through its published support channels, including hello@buffer.com.

Is there a free trial for Postqued?

Yes. Postqued includes a 7-day free trial on paid plans with access to scheduling, publishing, collaboration, and automation features.

Can I migrate my scheduled posts from Buffer?

There is no automatic import of queued Buffer posts. Reconnect your channels in Postqued, rebuild your calendar, or use the API to create your publishing workflow programmatically.
