Unified social media API for publishing, scheduling, and analytics

unified social posting API vs queue-based scheduling

Buffer is for creators and small teams in a browser queue. PostPeer keeps platform OAuth and delivery behind one API key, with SDKs, MCP, and webhooks for fast integration.

PostPeer

  • > Hosted MCP, agent skills, and REST endpoints give Cursor and Claude a single publish path
  • > Free tier with 20 credits and flat monthly bundles from $33 for 2,000 credits
  • > One API key manages unlimited connected accounts for embedded SaaS flows
  • > One maintained API for eleven networks plus webhooks, SDKs, and analytics for product builders
  • > REST API, Node.js and Python SDKs, hosted MCP, and agent skills on every plan
  • > Webhooks and status endpoints for delivery tracking across every connected platform

Typical Buffer workflow

  • AI Assistant lives inside Buffer — copy still required for external agent workflows
  • Per-channel pricing that climbs before volume tiers kick in
  • One queue for every brand, client, and channel
  • Free plan caps you at three channels and 10 scheduled posts per channel
  • Rate-limited REST API — no MCP server or workspace-scoped agent endpoints
  • Approval workflows require the Team plan — not on Free or Essentials
