Buffer vs Post Bridge
Short answer: pick Buffer if you run one to three channels or want free — 3 channels on the free plan, $6 per channel a month after that, and MCP on every plan. Pick Post Bridge once you have more accounts: a flat $29 for 5, $39 for 15 or $49 for 49, with MCP (16 tools) on every plan. Buffer covers 12 platforms including Mastodon and Substack, Post Bridge 10 including Google Business.
Two schedulers, compared on the things that actually differ. Every figure below was read off Buffer’s and Post Bridge’s own pages on 24 September 2026 — not from a press release and not from memory.

Pick Buffer if…
- A real free-forever plan with 3 channels — seenpaid has no free tier at all and requires a card for its trial.
- Per-channel pricing that is genuinely cheaper than seenpaid if you only run one to three channels.
- MCP access on every plan including Free, since 27 May 2026, which seenpaid cannot beat on price.
Pick Post Bridge if…
- Pro at $49/mo covers 49 accounts; seenpaid counts workspaces (brands) rather than accounts, and more than fifteen brands needs its unlimited plan (Omni) at $69.99/mo.
- MCP setup already documented for around nine named clients including Windsurf and Grok, which seenpaid does not cover one by one.
- YouTube and Google Business Profile support, neither of which seenpaid has.
A third option
Neither one can tell you which post made money
Buffer and Post Bridge both report reach and engagement, and neither connects to a payment processor — so if a post produced a sale, nothing in either tool will tell you. seenpaid schedules to 21 platforms like they do, then reads your Stripe and attributes each payment to the exact post that drove it. It ships a hosted MCP server with 50 tools so an AI agent can read those numbers too.
Worth saying plainly: if you do not sell anything, revenue attribution is worth nothing to you and one of the two above is the better answer.

Do Buffer or Post Bridge show revenue per post?
Buffer: No — nothing on its pricing or MCP pages connects a payment processor; it offers a free UTM generator for tagging links by hand. Post Bridge: No — analytics is in beta; nothing connects to a payment processor. Neither connects a payment processor to individual posts, which is the gap seenpaid fills.
