xpost vs Buffer: per channel, or one plan for all of them.
Buffer is simple and well loved, and prices each channel. xpost prices the plan and adds receipts and approvals — so you can pick the one that fits how you post.
Your first post is free. No credit card.
Where Buffer is better
True today, and worth knowing before you switch.
A free plan
3 channels and 10 scheduled posts each, free forever. xpost has a trial, not a free plan.
More channels
Buffer connects 11 channels, including Mastodon and Google Business. xpost connects 9.
An inbox and a start page
Comments in one place and a free link-in-bio page. xpost has neither.

Where xpost is better
One price for the plan
9 accounts is $24 a month on Creator. Adding an account never adds a line on the bill.
A receipt for every post
A link to the live post for every account, every time. You never wonder if it went out.
Approvals and client links in every plan
A teammate or a client says yes before a post goes out, from a link with no login.
Four languages
The whole app in English, German, Spanish and French.

Cancel the old plan when you are sure
Run both for a week. When every receipt comes back green, cancel Buffer — it will not miss a day.
