Buffer Free plan for three social channels

Buffer's current Free plan is free forever for individuals who need basic social publishing across a small number of accounts. Buffer's official pricing page currently allows up to three connected channels, 10 scheduled posts per channel at a time, 100 saved ideas, one user account, AI Assistant access, Insights, a community inbox and API access with one API key and 3,000 requests per month. Once a scheduled post publishes, that scheduling slot becomes available again. Buffer's help center adds an important Free-tier rule: while only three channels can be connected at once, there is also a lifetime limit of eight unique channel connections on the Free plan. Buffer offers separate paid tiers for unlimited scheduled posts and broader analytics or team features. Users can begin on Free directly without first taking a paid-plan trial, making it suitable for a small personal or creator setup that stays within the channel limits.
