# DunSocial vs Buffer

> An honest comparison of DunSocial and Buffer, on facts retrieved from vendor-owned pages on 22 July 2026.

## The short answer

Choose Buffer if any of these matter more to you:

- Starting free. Buffer has a real free plan. We only have a 14-day trial.
- TikTok, Facebook, Google Business Profile and Mastodon. We support none of them.
- Running one or two channels. At two, Buffer is $10 a month against our flat $20.

Choose DunSocial if you want the AI to hold a persistent, searchable memory of your brand and write every post through it, and you would rather pay one flat $20 per month than a price that grows with each channel, account or seat.

## Where Buffer is genuinely better

The easiest way into this category. Honest per-channel pricing, a free plan you can actually use, and a clean composer.

- Starting free. Buffer has a real free plan. We only have a 14-day trial.
- TikTok, Facebook, Google Business Profile and Mastodon. We support none of them.
- Running one or two channels. At two, Buffer is $10 a month against our flat $20.

## Where DunSocial differs
