Buffer pricing, and what the same clip costs in ReelMint
Buffer is a social media scheduler: you bring a finished post or video and it publishes it to your channels on a schedule. Below: both tools' published prices, one clip costed the same way for each, and what each does after the video exists. Buffer figures were read from its pricing page on 4 October 2026.
| ReelMint | Buffer | |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest paid plan | $29/month · 2,600 credits | $5/month · Essentials |
| One 10-second clip, cheapest paid plan | ≈ $0.67 (60 credits) | not applicable: Buffer does not generate video, so the clip has to be made in another tool and paid for there |
| Price shown before you generate | Yes, on the button, per render | Credits deducted; see plan page |
| Free to try | 150 credits on sign-up, no card | Up to 3 channels and 10 scheduled posts per channel. No video generation. |
| Posts the video to your channels | TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X | Yes. Schedules and publishes to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn and more — the video itself comes from somewhere else. |
| Bots that generate and post on a schedule | Yes, Bot Studio, on every plan | No |
| Choice of video models | Kling, Wan, Seedance, Veo and more, priced per model | Own model(s) |
| Talking photo, voice clone, anime, face swap | All included | See notable limits below |
Clip cost = plan price ÷ credits it includes × credits one 10-second clip takes, on each tool's cheapest paid plan. Buffer: not applicable: Buffer does not generate video, so the clip has to be made in another tool and paid for there. ReelMint: $29 ÷ 2,600 credits × 60 credits.

When Buffer is the better pick
People who already make their videos elsewhere and want the cheapest reliable scheduler across many networks, including Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, Pinterest and LinkedIn. For scheduling alone, Buffer's free plan and $5 tier are hard to beat.
When ReelMint is
When the video is a means to a post. ReelMint prices each render before you click, lets you pick the model per job, and then publishes to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X from the same screen, or hands the whole loop to a bot that posts every day. $29 buys about 43 ten-second clips a month.

- A scheduler only. Buffer's AI helps with captions and ideas; it does not make the video.
- Supports more networks than ReelMint: Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile.
- The usual free stack is a generator plus Buffer — two accounts, a download and an upload per video. ReelMint is both in one place.

Questions
Buffer or ReelMint to post AI videos to every network?
If you already have the videos, Buffer is a cheap, solid scheduler. If you need to make them too, ReelMint generates the clip (Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0, Wan 3.0, Veo 3.1…) and publishes or schedules it to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X from the same screen, with a caption written for each platform.
Can ReelMint post automatically like a scheduler?
Yes, and further: you can schedule any post to the minute, and Bot Studio generates a new video and posts it on a wall-clock schedule with nobody at the keyboard.
Is there a free way to try both?
Buffer is free for 3 channels and 10 queued posts each. ReelMint gives 150 credits on email verification with no card, which covers a free clip on Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0, Wan 3.0 or Veo 3.1 Lite, and publishing is included.
