Buffer is one of the best scheduling apps in the market and their tech support is top-notch too. However it's strictly a scheduling app with no extra functionality. If anyone's interested in doing more from the same scheduling interface he should think about BuzzBundle. It's a desktop solution that schedules an unlimited number of tweets and posts and also crawls forums and social networks for your company name mentions. Highly recommend this solution as a valuable addition to Buffer.

Buffer provides detailed analytics on social media performance, including engagement rates, click-through rates, and follower growth, allowing users to measure the effectiveness of their social media efforts.

The free version must allow some more channels to be added to get an idea before paying.

The perfect tool for posting on different social networks. Saves huge tone of time. I'm using it for 2 different companies and totally happy with Buffer.

I'm definitely a Buffer fan. Apart from the simple UX and clear design it's also very actively developed. There are regularly new features added and it's done in a way that doesn't make me worry about reliability.

They have a decent free plan so you can easily give it a try.

Beyond the actual product Buffer is also such an interesting business. They're 100% transparent about everything in their business (and I really mean 100%, they even post the entire team's salaries...). It's really compelling as a customer to be able to 'see into the kitchen' so to speak.

What is Buffer?

With Buffer all you do is put a few tweets in your Buffer and the app schedules them for you throughout the day.

Different from common tweet scheduling apps, like Hootsuite’s or SocialOomph’s there is no need to schedule each individual tweet. Fixed timeslots (which you can change) determine when buffered tweets reach your followers every day. All you do is fill your Buffer with tweets.

In addition to using the website, browser extensions make it super simple to add tweets to your Buffer right there from the article you want to share.
