What is Buffer AI Assistant
Buffer AI Assistant generates, refines and repurposes social content inside Buffer. It is included across Buffer’s Free, Essentials and Team plans with unlimited AI credits rather than sold as a separate add-on.
Pricing
As of July 30, 2026, Free costs US$0 for up to three channels. It includes the AI Assistant, 100 content ideas, ten scheduled posts per channel, one user, Insights, a community inbox, and basic API access.
Essentials costs US$5 per channel per month billed annually, or US$60 per year for one channel. It adds unlimited ideas and scheduled posts, advanced analytics, more API capacity, a hashtag manager, and first-comment scheduling.
Team costs US$10 per channel per month billed annually, or US$120 per year for one channel. It adds unlimited team members, access levels, notes and approval workflows, along with the Essentials features. Paid plans have a 14-day trial; annual billing saves 20 percent and larger channel portfolios receive volume discounts.
