agent-native scheduling, not another queue tab

Buffer is for creators and small teams in a browser queue. OpenQuok covers the same scheduling basics. You also get workspaces, agents, and API access.

OpenQuok

  • > Agents draft and schedule with skills, MCP, or the Public API. You approve posts on the calendar.
  • > Plans start at $29 per month per workspace. You do not pay per seat or per channel.
  • > Each workspace has its own channels, OAuth app, token, and MCP endpoint.
  • > You pay for scheduling, analytics, and agent tools. You do not pay for unused suite extras.
  • > Each workspace has an MCP server and CLI. Agents connect without copy and paste.
  • > Each agent draft lands as a draft or a scheduled post. You can add follow-up comments with delays.

Typical Buffer workflow

  • AI Assistant lives inside Buffer — copy still required for external agent workflows
  • Per-channel pricing that climbs before volume tiers kick in
  • One queue for every brand, client, and channel
  • Free plan caps you at three channels and 10 scheduled posts per channel
  • Rate-limited REST API — no MCP server or workspace-scoped agent endpoints
  • Approval workflows require the Team plan — not on Free or Essentials
