Buffer alternatives: have the posts written, not just scheduled.
The short answer
If you are leaving Buffer because writing the posts is the part that never gets done, Karos is built for that. It reads your site, socials and competitors, drafts posts every day for each channel, and you approve or pass each one. Buffer is a scheduler for posts you write.
Why builders pick Karos
- Karos reads your site, socials and competitors and drafts posts every day from what is original in your work.
- You approve or pass each draft. Approved X posts go out by themselves, LinkedIn with one tap, and every pass teaches Karos.
- From $29 a month, with a free preview before you pay.
