Lightweight scheduler
Buffer is clean. Clean doesn't write your captions.
Buffer nailed the simplest, cleanest scheduler in the market. What it deliberately doesn't do is the writing — which, if you're running social solo, is 80% of your week. Neword does both.
The headline differences.

The full picture.
Buffer's interface is genuinely one of the cleanest in the category — we give credit where it's due. The gap is everything that isn't scheduling.

I loved Buffer's simplicity. I just kept hitting the ceiling — no AI writer that sounded like us, no approvals, no reports. Neword does all of it without losing the 'just ship it' feel.

Questions Buffer users ask us.
Short answers — because you came from Buffer and expect fast.
Can I keep Buffer's calendar UX?
Neword's calendar feels like Buffer's — drag-and-drop, timeline and grid views, keyboard shortcuts. We copied the parts of Buffer you'd miss.
Will the price jump when we add channels?
No. Neword is priced per brand, not per channel. Add Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, and Threads on the same brand — all one price.
Do I lose Buffer's Start Page / Link in Bio?
We ship an equivalent — branded mini-site with scheduled links — on every Neword plan. Import your Buffer Start Page in one click.
What about the Buffer Analyze add-on?
Included in every Neword plan, not an add-on. Weekly AI-drafted report lands in your inbox automatically.
Most Buffer users land on the 1- or 5-brand plan ($19–$49/mo). Still month-to-month.
