Comparison

Senly vs Buffer

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.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Senly vs Buffer?

Buffer is cheaper, right?

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.

Does Senly have a mobile app like Buffer?

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.

Can I migrate my Buffer Analytics data?

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.

What if I only have 1–2 clients?

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.
