An honest recommendation

Which one should you choose?

Choose KORD if…

  • You manage several clients and want each one in its own workspace with its own people and profiles.
  • You want client approvals on the entry plan instead of only on a team tier.
  • You want agent access where draft is the default, agents cannot approve and every live post keeps proof, with EU hosting.

Choose Buffer if…

  • You want a free plan or only need one or two channels.
  • You need a social network that KORD does not publish to yet. KORD opens networks one at a time after platform review.
  • You want a long-established scheduler with a large ecosystem.

The networks KORD publishes to today, and those in platform review, are listed on the KORD homepage.
