Buffer charges per channel. We don’t.
Buffer is a good tool with a meter attached: $5 a month for every channel you connect (Essentials), $10 with a team (Team plan). Schedchie is €7.99 flat. The second channel is where the math flips.

What Buffer is built for
What Buffer’s price buys: a free tier for three channels at ten posts each, a polished AI assistant, Google Business Profile support, and a decade-old brand with a public transparency program. Essentials is billed per channel, so five channels is $25 a month and ten is $50; the Team plan doubles the rate to $10 a channel, or $100 at ten.
Is Schedchie cheaper than Buffer?
At 2 channels, Buffer Essentials ($10) already costs more than Schedchie (€7.99). At 12 channels it’s $60 a month vs €7.99.
What switching actually takes
Switching takes an afternoon. Connect your accounts through each platform’s own login (one consent screen apiece, minutes each), bring the queue across with the bulk CSV importer — datetime and text columns, plus optional titles and media matched from an uploaded pool — and close the old subscription at the end of its billing month.
Two more things people ask
- Does Schedchie charge per account, per channel, or per seat?
- None of those. €7.99 a month covers unlimited connected accounts and unlimited scheduled posts. The Team plan is €24.99 and includes 3 invited members, who do not need their own paid plan, plus approvals and client review links that need no client login and no seat.
- Is posting to X (Twitter) included in the flat price?
- No. X publishing is a €4.99 add-on per 30 posts, valid 30 days, because X charges tools per post for API access. Every other platform is included in the flat price.
