Aidelly vs Buffer

See buffer.com for current pricing. Buffer charges per social channel, which is elegant for one brand and gets expensive once you are managing many client profiles. Aidelly is flat-priced and the top plan includes unlimited client workspaces. Below roughly five channels Buffer is usually cheaper and we will say so. Past that, and especially once multiple people need access, the flat model wins.

Buffer itself has a permanent free plan, and if that is your requirement it is genuinely hard to beat and you should stay. Aidelly does not have a free tier, only a 7-day full-product trial. We would rather be clear about that than have you sign up expecting one.

Buffer does one job, queue-based scheduling, extremely well and with very little friction. Aidelly does more jobs and asks for more setup in exchange: AI drafting that adapts a post per network, keyword DM lead capture, a unified inbox, client approval workflows, white-label reporting, and an official MCP server so AI agents can run the whole pipeline. If scheduling is genuinely all you do, the extra surface is overhead rather than value.

There is no direct Buffer import. Export your queue, re-create it here, and reconnect accounts, which is one to two hours for most teams. Client accounts connect through a link the client clicks themselves, so no passwords change hands. Nothing stops you running both during the trial week.

When you are a solo operator or a very small team who needs simple affordable scheduling on a few channels, and especially if a permanent free tier matters. Buffer is the better product for that person. Aidelly makes sense once queue-and-publish is not enough on its own and you are bolting Zapier onto it to cover approvals, inbox, or client reporting.
