# A Buffer alternative for many accounts

> One price for the plan, not one for every channel you add.

## Is PostMesh a good Buffer alternative?

PostMesh costs less than Buffer once you post to five or more accounts: Creator is $29 a month for 10, where Buffer's Essentials plan is $6 per channel a month, $60 for 10. It also publishes to Reddit and full-length YouTube videos, checks every post against each network's limits, and retries only the accounts that failed. With four accounts or fewer Buffer costs less, and its free plan covers three channels.

## What it costs each month

| Accounts | PostMesh | Buffer |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3 accounts | $29/mo (Creator) | $0 or $18/mo (Free (10 scheduled posts each) or Essentials) |
| 10 accounts | $29/mo (Creator) | $60/mo (Essentials) |
| 25 accounts | $49/mo (Growth) | $120/mo (Essentials) |
| 50 accounts | $49/mo (Growth) | $195/mo (Essentials) |

Monthly billing for both. Yearly, PostMesh is $22, $37 and $75 a month, and Buffer's yearly billing saves about two months. Buffer's Team plan costs more per channel. Prices in USD before tax.
