Frequently Asked Questions
Why is PostSpoke the best Buffer alternative in 2026?
PostSpoke is built for creators publishing to the decentralized and indie-publishing networks most schedulers ignore. Bluesky, Mastodon, Ghost, Dev.to, Medium, Substack, Telegram and LiveJournal are all live in our free beta, with no per-channel fees. Buffer supports none of them.
Does PostSpoke charge per connected social channel?
No. Unlike Buffer which charges $6/month for every single channel you add, PostSpoke uses a flat pricing model with unlimited channel connections during our Free Public Beta.
Can I migrate my scheduling from Buffer to PostSpoke easily?
Yes. Mastodon connects over official OAuth; Bluesky, Ghost, Substack, Medium, Dev.to, Telegram and LiveJournal connect with an app password or API key you generate on the platform itself. Either way it takes about two minutes per account.
