AI & Content Generation
Buffer has an AI assistant that helps you write captions. Useful, but you still have to do the creative work yourself: come up with topics, create images and keep your branding consistent. PostSimple automates this entire process. The AI knows your business, tone of voice and brand style, and generates complete posts with copy and design.
Supported Channels
Buffer supports many channels, including X (formerly Twitter), Mastodon and Pinterest. PostSimple focuses on the channels that are most relevant for business owners: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and Google Business. Additionally, PostSimple is the only tool that offers a WordPress and WooCommerce plugin to generate posts from your website.
Pricing
Buffer is cheaper on paper: the basic plan starts at $6 per month. But that plan only offers scheduling for a limited number of channels. The Essentials plan costs $12 per month. PostSimple starts at €15 per month and already includes AI content generation, design templates and scheduling. In terms of value for money, PostSimple offers more because you don't need separate tools for content creation.
Ease of Use
Buffer is known for its simplicity. It's one of the most user-friendly scheduling tools on the market. PostSimple is just as simple, but saves you even more time because you don't have to create content yourself. The Dutch interface also makes it more accessible for business owners who prefer to work in their own language.
Who is each tool right for?
Buffer is a good choice if you already create content and are looking for a simple way to schedule it. It's particularly popular with individuals and small teams who provide their own copy and images. PostSimple is built for business owners who don't have time to create content. The AI does the creative work, so you can focus on running your business.
