Kanso vs Buffer

Kanso or Buffer?
A queue, or a brief?

Buffer is a simple, well-made way to send posts to many networks. Kanso starts a step earlier: from what your brand is, so each post is planned, written and approved before it reaches a queue.

Pick the one
that fits the work.

Buffer fits better if

  • You post to a few channels and the free plan is enough.
  • You also post to Mastodon or Google Business Profile, which Kanso does not cover.
  • You mostly need to get finished posts out on time.

Kanso fits better if

  • You run several brands and each needs its own voice, facts and reviewers.
  • Clients approve posts and you are tired of screenshots in email.
  • You publish to many channels per brand and per-channel pricing adds up.
