Why Developers Choose Upload-Post Over Buffer
Per-Channel Pricing Adds Up
Buffer charges $6/month per social channel. Managing multiple brands or accounts gets expensive fast.
No Real API
Buffer is built for clicking buttons, not for automation. If you need programmatic access, you're stuck.
Limited Video Support
Buffer struggles with video platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Upload-Post was built for video-first workflows.
