Buffer

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.

OpenQuok

Social media scheduler built for humans and AI agents

OpenQuok is a 100% open-source agent-native social media scheduler. Connect channels, plan content on calendar and kanban views, and publish across every platform from the dashboard — or pipe drafts in from AI agents via skills, MCP, and the Public API. Multi-workspace isolation keeps brands, clients, and automation contexts separate.
