Why switch from Buffer
- Your assistant makes on-brand visuals next to the caption. Buffer’s AI is text-only.
- Free plan (2 accounts, 15 posts/mo), then Starter at $19/mo for 5 accounts and 200 on-brand visuals. Buffer prices paid plans per channel.
- The product itself is in English and Spanish, not just the website.
- Your assistant learns your products and how you talk, then writes in your voice (Starter and Pro).
- API docs and an in-app helper if you build your own integration.
Where Buffer still wins
Prefer Buffer if you need:
- A long-running blog and a well-known brand.
- YouTube and Google Business Profile; SocialRobot does not support those yet.
- Official MCP server (mcp.buffer.com) and a longer brand history.
Moving from Buffer to SocialRobot
No one-click import. Run both tools for a week: reconnect accounts in SocialRobot, rebuild the next 7–14 days, update any agent that still talks to the old tool. Cancel Buffer once posts go out clean.
- List the networks you used in the last 30 days.
- Reconnect accounts; do not reuse tokens from another product.
- Regenerate images you care about inside the composer.
- Point Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor at SocialRobot MCP.
