What to weigh

## Three things to weigh.

What Buffer’s own pages say, next to what PostQueen does. The small numbers point to its pages.

### Every channel adds to the bill

**Buffer’s pages:** Each channel is billed: $6 on Essentials and $12 on Team for channels 1 to 10, billed monthly. Moving up from Free makes the 3 free channels billable too.[1](https://postqueen.ai/alternatives/buffer#src-1)

A flat price per plan: 10 channels for $33, 30 for $49, unlimited for $99, billed monthly.

### More than 1 user means Team

**Buffer’s pages:** Essentials has 1 user. More users need Team, at $12 a channel instead of $6.[1](https://postqueen.ai/alternatives/buffer#src-1)

Unlimited team members from Growth, $33 a month for 10 channels.

### 12 networks listed

**Buffer’s pages:** Buffer’s help page lists 12 networks plus Start Page, and YouTube is Shorts only.[4](https://postqueen.ai/alternatives/buffer#src-4)

30+ networks in one calendar.

Try it on your own channels. 7 days on the plan you pick. Keep Buffer running while you set up.
