My honest review of Buffer

I've used buffer for 20 weeks and here is my honest review of it.

I’ve used Buffer for the past 20 weeks and here is my full review of it. Now this is a honest review some parts may be negative, I have spent the past 3 weeks working on this. (Thats why it took so long to write).

I’m Looking for three (3) things in Buffer.

  1. Nice team and Community

    Their team members must be nice when contacting each other over E-Mail or other means of communication & the community they have built Must not be Toxic.

  2. Price in Performance

    The price of the Service or Software must “Make Sense”. The product is priced good.

  3. Intuitive Design

    The layout &/or Design must “Make Sense”. The layout is responsive on all screen sizes.

Nice team & Community

The Buffer Team is incredibly nice. Every week I post my Buffer streak on my Bluesky & Threads their team and community, especially Sabreen. Evan on the Discord everyone is nice, now I have never had to contact Buffer Support, which is a good thing. But if I did need to, I know they will help a person like me. Right…Right. Wink Wink

Price to Performance

The Buffer free Plan is awesome it has all the features and tools you need. You can link up to 3 Channels and schedule up to ten posts per channel so thirty in total. The free plan also includes up to 3 Start Page Profiles. Start page is a simple yet powerful easy to use Link in Bio tool for content creators. You can visit mine here or visit danielmorrisey.start.page. But it gets better The Buffer App, that’s right all the features of all the awesome Buffer tools are in the App for Free.

But let’s get back to Price to Performance. Like a said the Buffer free plan is awesome for me I only use Threads & Bluesky and a Start Page so there that’s all 3 channels in use, now if you want to get Buffer Paid you can schedule unlimited post & ideas with tags to keep everything organized.

First Things First $6 for the Essentials Plan makes sense it’s priced fair, But I think that $5 per extra channel is just too much, now if it was like 3 or 4$ per extra channel it will “Make more Sence”.

Intuitive Design

The Buffer interface is not the Best, if you visit the Buffer Dashboard (publish.buffer.com) on a Desktop or a Tablet it works perfect but it all changes when you visit on a Phone. The web interface on a Phone is Horrible but that’s why they have a Mobile app, but their app is not the best, some features such as Start Page aren’t on the phone app. Now the phone app and the web app are easy and simple to use. I think the interfaces are perfect but it’s not the best there is room for improvement (Mainly a Dark Mode feature).

Summery

So total Buffer is Awesome I’ve used it for over 20 awesome weeks, Buffer is the best option when it comes to social media engagement for users and teams.
