InfoQast vs Buffer
Buffer is a well-loved, honestly priced scheduling workspace — simple, reliable, with a genuinely free AI assistant.
Here's an honest look at where each tool earns its money — with prices taken from the official pricing pages in July 2026.
Where Buffer shines
- • Simplicity that needs no onboarding call
- • Transparent per-channel pricing with volume discounts
- • AI assistant included free on every plan — no credits
- • A brand people trust after 15 years
Where the value ends
- • Buffer describes itself as a workspace, not an AI tool — the drafts, adaptations, and reports are still your work
- • Per-channel pricing scales with every network each new client brings
- • Approval workflows and unlimited users only on the Team plan ($12/channel/mo)
The math at 10 clients
Buffer
Buffer Team is $12 per channel per month (channels 11–25 at $4, 26–50 at $3). Ten clients with five networks each is 50 channels ≈ $255/mo billed monthly — for scheduling and approvals, with all content production still on your desk.
InfoQast
InfoQast Agency is $129/mo flat for 10 client brands and 60 channels, with a $60 AI budget included. Depending on posting volume, a 10-client agency lands around $170–280/mo all-in — including every token the AI team spends, metered per client at official Anthropic list prices.
