An honest recommendation

Which one should you choose?

Choose KORD if…

  • You manage several clients and want each one in its own workspace with its own people and profiles.
  • You want approvals on the entry plan instead of only on a team tier.
  • You want agent access where draft is the default and publishing requires an exact preview and confirmation, with EU hosting.

Choose Buffer if…

  • You want a free plan or only need one or two channels.
  • You need networks that KORD has not opened yet. KORD's paid beta publishes to Facebook Pages and Instagram Business; LinkedIn and TikTok are in platform review.
  • You want a long-established scheduler with a large ecosystem.
