Buffer Team (30 channels × €12) = €360/mo + AgencyAnalytics (€120/mo) + a separate CRM (€99/mo) + Calendly (€48/mo) + financial tool (€52/mo) + Brand voice AI (€49/mo) − duplication removed = approx. €612/mo
Buffer is an excellent entry-level tool for individual marketers and small teams. But as soon as you manage 5+ clients, the per-channel price scales fast and you miss everything an agency really needs: CRM, reporting, a client portal, meetings and financial insight.
Managing social media for clients? Then Senly is always cheaper and broader. Buffer's per-channel pricing makes scaling extremely expensive (10 clients × 3 platforms = €360/mo for publishing alone). Senly is €500/mo for 10 clients, everything included.
Are you a solo marketer or managing 1–2 social accounts for yourself? Then Buffer Essentials (€6/channel/mo) is a fine choice. For pure publishing on a handful of channels without an agency workflow, Buffer is the simplest tool.

For solo users, yes (€6/channel/mo). For agencies, Buffer is actually more expensive: 10 clients × 3 platforms = 30 channels × €12 = €360/mo for publishing alone — without CRM, reporting, white-label or meetings. Senly is €500/mo for 10 clients with everything included.
Senly runs entirely in the browser (mobile-optimized). A native iOS/Android app is on the roadmap. For publishing on the go, the web app works excellently.
Senly automatically retrieves historical performance data through the OAuth connections (provided the social platforms make it available). For specific Buffer figures, our team helps with a manual import free of charge.
With 1–2 clients, Buffer is cheaper if you only need publishing (€36–72/mo). Senly starts at €100/mo for 2 clients — but then with white-label, CRM, reporting and all features. You start bigger, but avoid later migrations.
