Buffer is a well-known scheduler with a free plan and per-channel pricing. Zedgad is priced per project and built to receive content automatically from your site or app.
How pricing compares
Buffer charges per connected channel, so the cost grows with every account you add. Its free plan covers up to 3 channels with a limit on scheduled posts.
Zedgad charges per project, with unlimited posts on every plan. A project can hold all of one brand's accounts, so adding a channel does not change the price. X publishing is a separate add-on.
Where content comes from
Buffer is mainly used by writing and queuing posts in its own app, with browser extensions and integrations for sharing links.
Zedgad also has a compose screen, but it is built around automation as well: a WordPress plugin, a webhook, and an API let your website or app send new content for publishing as soon as it is published.
Which one to choose
Choose Buffer if you want a free starting plan, rely on its wider set of integrations, or need team approvals today.
Choose zedgad if you run many channels for one brand, want your website or app to trigger posts automatically, or prefer one flat price per project.
Key takeaway
Buffer suits manual queuing on a few channels; zedgad suits many channels and automated publishing.
