GPTpost vs Buffer
Buffer is simple and inexpensive, charges per connected channel, and is one of the few mainstream schedulers that already supports Mastodon and Bluesky. GPTpost is a scheduler built for teams that need sign-off before anything goes out and that publish beyond the usual five networks. Here is an honest comparison, including where Buffer is the better choice.
