No price per channel
Buffer counts connected channels and the price grows with them. In skedo.io the five channels live in the workspace, and access today is free by invitation, no credit card.
Comparison
skedo.io, a Buffer alternative
Buffer is one of the best-known scheduling tools: simple, with a price per channel. skedo.io does the same on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube and adds what a team or an agency needs every day: post approval, one workspace per client and an AI that prepares texts and images in your brand design.
Free early access: request it now, no credit card.
Where skedo.io differs from Buffer
Post approval included
The content creator prepares, the person with the right role approves, asks for changes or publishes. Six roles, the same on every channel, with no higher plan to unlock.
Images and carousels in your brand design
Compose with design prepares an image or a carousel with your background, logo and colours, with no external graphic editor. AI Studio starts from a hint and delivers texts, images, channels and time.
One workspace per client
Agencies and freelancers keep clients apart, each with its own channels, team and data, and switch between them with one click.
Reports by email, not to open
The AI Advisor sends a weekly or monthly report with trends, best days and hours and post proposals: ready to forward to the client.
Italian and English
Interface, emails, reports and support in both languages, built by a company in Milan.

When Buffer is still the right choice
We also say when we are not the best option. Stay with Buffer if:
- you publish on platforms skedo.io does not cover yet, such as Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky or Mastodon;
- you work alone and a publishing queue is all you need;
- you need a link-in-bio page or features Buffer has had for years and we do not have.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import my scheduled posts from Buffer?
There is no automatic import: queued posts have to be recreated. With AI Studio and Compose with design it usually takes minutes per post.
Does skedo.io have a free plan like Buffer?
At this stage skedo.io is entirely free and access is by invitation. Paid plans will come with notice by email.
Do I need a credit card?
No. Request access, get the invitation, connect the first channel.
