Social media toolkit for creators and teams since 2010

Buffer is a social media management suite for individuals, creators, and small teams. It offers queue-based scheduling, an AI assistant, a community inbox, analytics, and a REST API — with per-channel pricing, volume discounts, and a free plan for up to three channels.

Browser-extension posting API for AI agents

Claw Post is agent-first social posting infrastructure that publishes through a logged-in Chrome extension instead of official platform APIs. Connect X, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram from your desktop browser, then trigger posts from a REST API, Streamable HTTP MCP with OAuth, or OpenClaw skills — with job queues, retries, idempotency keys, and signed media uploads.

queue-based scheduling vs browser-session agent posting

Claw Post is for agents that post through a real logged-in Chrome session. Buffer keeps scheduling simple with per-channel pricing, volume discounts, and a familiar publishing queue.

Buffer

  • > AI Assistant built into the queue for drafting and repurposing content
  • > Free plan plus per-channel pricing with volume discounts as you add networks
  • > Simple queue for solo creators — no enterprise workspace sprawl
  • > Community inbox and analytics without enterprise suite overhead

Typical Claw Post workflow

  • Extension-driven execution — no calendar, kanban, or human review workspace before posts leave the queue
  • Monthly post quotas (25–20,000) and per-plan account limits on every tier except Agency
  • One tenant queue and API key — not separate agent workspaces with isolated MCP endpoints
  • Job-queue API without a full scheduling workspace, analytics, or content calendar
