Postly for teams coming from Buffer
A friendly guide for teams comparing options. We'll highlight what Buffer does well, where teams typically outgrow a “tool-first” workflow, and how Postly helps you scale with calm, automation-first distribution.
What Buffer is great for
Buffer is known for clean, simple publishing - a great fit for lightweight scheduling.
Where it shines

- • Grow from solo creator to serious team without changing tools.
A simple way to think about it
Buffer is a clean publishing tool. Postly is a calm distribution system.
Postly is designed to become your long-term "distribution brain" - so workflows, automation, and learnings compound instead of resetting every time you switch tools.
What serious teams optimize for
As teams grow, they typically want:
- • Calm daily usage.
- • Reliable workflows and automation.
- • Actionable analytics that feed into execution.
- • Simple pricing that scales cleanly.
- • A clear product direction.
Postly is built around these from the start.
The goal isn't to criticize other tools - it's to help you choose the workflow and system that fits how you operate today, and how you plan to grow.
