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.

Where Buffer is better
Where Buffer is better, plainly: it has a genuinely useful free plan, a polished AI assistant, Google Business and Mastodon support, and a decade-old brand with a public transparency program. If you have one or two channels and post lightly, Buffer’s free tier may be all you need.
The math
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
There is no import wizard, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Switching means: connect your accounts (an OAuth consent screen each, minutes apiece), rebuild the posts you had queued, and archive the old tool at the end of its billing month. For most accounts that’s an afternoon.
