Why switch from Buffer
- Flux and GPT Image 1 sit inside the composer. Buffer AI stops at text.
- Starter is $19/mo for 5 accounts and 200 AI images, not priced per channel.
- Product UI ships in English and Spanish. Buffer stays English-only in-app.
- Style cloning is on the roadmap (not shipped yet). Captions today follow platform guidelines, not your past posts.
- OpenAPI + in-app API assistant if you want to wire your own stack.
Where Buffer still wins
If your checklist looks different, they may fit better.
- 2,400+ blog articles already indexed.
- 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
There is no one-click importer. If you are mid-campaign, run both queues for a week: reconnect OAuth in SocialRobot, rebuild the next 7–14 days in the calendar, and update agent prompts that still point at the old MCP or API. Cancel the previous seat only after the smoke test passes.
- Inventory which networks you actually 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.
