Posty vs. Buffer
Buffer is cheaper with only a few accounts, and its free plan is genuinely usable. With more accounts, Posty's fixed plan price, recurring posts and agent control come out ahead.

What Buffer does well
- On the free plan you can manage three social accounts, with ten scheduled posts per account and no time limit.
- With one or two accounts, the $6 per-account monthly fee is a good deal.
- The social inbox lets you follow comments and replies in one place. Posty has no inbox like that.
- The Chrome extension lets you save content while you browse. Posty has no browser extension.
- The public API and MCP server are available on every plan, including free. AI agents can drive Buffer's calendar with them directly.
When should you pick Buffer instead?
For one or two social accounts Buffer can be cheaper, and for three accounts there is the unlimited-time free plan. It is also the better pick if you need a social inbox or a Chrome extension. With more accounts, recurring posts or more involved automation, it is worth considering Posty too.
Why switch to Posty?
- Fixed plan price. Pro manages ten social accounts for 8 990 Ft a month. At Buffer, ten accounts cost about $60 a month, because you pay per account.
- More automation. Recurring posts and post sets mean you do not have to type every slot by hand. RSS auto-post turns new content into a post. Buffer's RSS feed is only for gathering ideas.
- Full agent control. Both products have an MCP server and a public API. Posty also ships a published CLI and a SKILL.md file, so your own AI agent can drive the calendar from the terminal. This is available from the Pro plan.
- Hungarian support. The interface and help are in Hungarian, and the invoice is in forints with Hungarian VAT. If you get stuck, you can write in Hungarian, and Norbi, the founder, replies.

- Which platforms do Posty and Buffer support?
- The supported platforms largely overlap. Posty also posts to Telegram, Discord and Slack. Buffer supports Mastodon, which Posty does not.
- Can I move my scheduled posts from Buffer?
- You can move the copy and the media files, but there is no automatic import. Upload the media, paste the text, then set the times in the calendar.
- Why should I pick Posty over Buffer?
- With more accounts the fixed plan price matters, and you can post without a cap on every plan. Posty also handles recurring posts, RSS auto-post, post sets and webhooks. Instead of a built-in AI copywriter it is built around your own model: you can drive the calendar directly through MCP, the API or the CLI.
Hungarian teams already post this way
„Finally, a scheduler that thinks in Hungarian. Our café's Instagram and Facebook are in one place. I save two hours a week.”
„Tuesday evening I schedule the whole week in half an hour. That's it.”
„I run five brands' accounts on my own. We used to subscribe to three different tools. Posty has everything in one place: scheduling, calendar, analytics. I send the reports straight to management. Nobody comes back with questions. It paid for itself in the first month. I've recommended it to two colleagues since.”
„At our online store, TikTok and Instagram get the same campaign, but Posty fine-tunes the copy per channel. The AI's Hungarian copy is surprisingly good.”
„We post the daily menu to Facebook and Instagram at 9 a.m., automatically. Guests already look forward to it.”
„I connected Posty to Claude. I was a bit worried it would sound robotic. Instead I just tell it what happened this week, and it writes and schedules the posts in my voice. Now I only reply to comments.”
„My portfolio posts itself. I just draw.”
„I used to stress every morning about what to post. Now Posty suggests a time, and I just approve the workout tips. My follower count doubled in three months.”
„Everything we do is seasonal: Mother's Day, graduations, weddings. In calendar view I see the whole month ahead. I upload the bouquet photos once, everywhere.”
„I shoot on weekends, retouch on weekdays. I had no time left to post. With Posty, my galleries finally go out to Instagram and Facebook on their own.”
„Before Black Friday we scheduled 200 posts in advance, across three channels. Not a single one slipped. We've never had a campaign period like this.”
Hungarian pricing, no hidden costs
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. We bill in forints and issue a VAT invoice.
