Them
A social workspace
Plan and publish from Buffer’s web and mobile app.
Compare / Buffer
Buffer is a workspace. Active Social is a co-pilot.
If you love a calendar, queues, and team approvals inside a social dashboard, Buffer is excellent. If opening the dashboard is the thing you are avoiding, you want a different product.
Us
You approve on your phone
Stay visible without living in the apps. Approve from your phone. You are the last click.
Web app on your phone. Telegram if you want it.
Two Tuesdays
Same day. Different place you spend it.
You open the workspace. The calendar is empty. You meant to fill it. The feed takes the hour instead.
Drafts are waiting on your phone. Glance. Edit a line. Tap approve. Back to the job.
