queue-based scheduling vs hosted multi-platform automation

PostFast is built for creators and agencies who want eleven networks, inbox, and agent connectors in one hosted app. 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 PostFast workflow

  • Agent connectors run through PostFast accounts — no self-hosted skills, workspace MCP, or AGPL source to audit
  • Scheduled post caps on Starter through Growth (150–3,000) before unlimited Pro tiers
  • Hosted client workspaces — not isolated agent workspaces with separate tokens, MCP endpoints, and self-host control
  • Hosted-only product — no open-source path to run scheduling on your own infrastructure
