Buffer is a solid scheduler — if you have time to run it. Solo Grow is the opposite: tell us about your business, and a real team plans, writes, and posts to your channels every week. You just approve. Website included.
Skip the line to get your monthly marketing campaigns done-for-you.
Personalized kick-off call included with your first month.
Written in your voice. You approve every post before it’s published.
Each month your posting plan arrives with post dates for your channels.
A scheduler queues the posts you’ve already made. You’re still the one deciding what to post, writing every caption, and keeping it going week after week. For a lot of owners, that’s the part that never happens.
I can’t afford a $5k/month agency, but doing it all myself is exhausting.– r/smallbusiness
I am NOT a marketing or social media person. Do I spend the money and hire someone, or keep trying to do it myself?– r/Entrepreneur
I keep starting strong on Instagram then going quiet for weeks. Consistency is the thing I just can’t keep up.– r/Entrepreneur
Two different answers to “my social keeps slipping” — one is a tool you run, one is a team that runs it

Buffer is a genuinely good tool. The honest question isn’t which is better — it’s who’s doing the work.
Stick with Buffer if…
Switch to Solo Grow if…
Buffer sends people to profiles you still have to build elsewhere. With Solo Grow, a clean site is part of the deal — somewhere for new customers to land and get in touch, built from a few simple inputs. No extra cost, no separate bill.
Your posts planned, written for you to approve, and published to your channels on a schedule — plus a website. A real team, not software you run. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
Get early access →No — it’s the opposite. Buffer is a tool you operate. With Solo Grow, a real team does the planning, writing, and posting. You don’t run anything; you just approve.
Yes. You connect your accounts once, and we publish the posts you’ve approved to them on the schedule we agreed to.
No. Solo Grow handles the scheduling and posting for you, so there’s no separate scheduler to pay for or log into.
A real team drafts the captions in your voice. You review and approve every one before it goes live — nothing publishes without your OK.
Buffer bills per channel and you supply all the labor. Solo Grow includes the work and a website — no per-channel math, no hours of your time.
No. It’s month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime.
