Buffer schedules posts. automrktr does your entire marketing.
Buffer is a great scheduling tool — but it still requires you to write every post yourself, manage your own ads elsewhere, and guess at your ROI. automrktr handles all of that automatically.

The Buffer Problem
Buffer is a tool. automrktr is a service.
You still write all the content
Buffer's AI assistant helps you brainstorm, but you still write, edit, and approve every post. That's hours of work every week that automrktr eliminates entirely.
No Google Ads integration
Buffer has zero Google Ads functionality. If you run search or display ads, you're managing that completely separately — duplicating effort and losing cross-platform attribution.
You can't measure real ROI
Buffer shows you likes and shares. It cannot tell you which post drove a purchase. Without conversion tracking, you're flying blind.
Honest Comparison
Buffer is great if you want to stay hands-on
We believe in transparency. Here's when Buffer might be a better fit:
- You enjoy writing your own content and have a dedicated marketing person
- You're on an extremely tight budget and only need basic scheduling (< $20/month)
- You only need to schedule to 1–3 channels and don't run any advertising
If any of these don't describe you, automrktr will save you significant time and money.

I used Buffer for 2 years. I liked it, but I was still spending hours every week writing posts and couldn’t figure out what was actually working. automrktr did in 15 minutes what used to take me 5 hours a week.
