Common Questions About Switching
Why is PostNexus AI cheaper than Buffer for multiple accounts?
Buffer charges on a per-channel basis ($6/channel/month). If you have 2 Instagram accounts, 2 X accounts, 2 LinkedIn profiles, a TikTok, a YouTube Shorts channel, and a Facebook page, you are already paying $54+/month. PostNexus AI provides a flat $29/month plan that covers up to 15 accounts across all 6 networks with unlimited posts.
Can I schedule vertical videos (Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) at once?
Yes! Unlike Buffer, which requires you to configure each video channel separately, PostNexus AI lets you upload a single video file and push or schedule it to TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts simultaneously in under 30 seconds.
Does PostNexus AI use official social media APIs?
Yes. PostNexus AI connects directly through the official developer APIs provided by Meta (Instagram/Facebook), X (Twitter), LinkedIn, TikTok, and Google (YouTube). Your accounts remain 100% compliant with platform terms of service.
How easy is it to migrate from Buffer to PostNexus AI?
Connecting your social accounts takes under 2 minutes through standard OAuth permissions. Once connected, you can immediately begin scheduling your queues.
