Our verdict

Buffer is the simpler pick if you want a free plan with three channels, TikTok or Google Business Profile, or a per-channel price. SocialPatra costs less per account once you manage more than a couple of accounts ($5 for two accounts on Professional, then $4 for each extra, against $5 for each channel on Buffer Essentials), and Professional includes X. Its free plan is smaller: one account, with no X and no analytics.

Questions

How does SocialPatra pricing compare with Buffer?

On the listed prices, five accounts cost $17 per month on SocialPatra Professional ($5 for two, plus three at $4) and $25 per month on Buffer Essentials (five channels at $5). That uses the $5 per channel figure on the Buffer page and the monthly price on the SocialPatra page; check both before you buy.

Who should pick Buffer instead?

Choose Buffer if you need the free plan with up to three channels, a channel SocialPatra does not list such as TikTok or Google Business Profile, or unlimited users on its Team plan.

Do both have a free plan?

Yes. Buffer: up to 3 channels and 10 scheduled posts per channel. SocialPatra: 1 account, without X or analytics.
