Outgrown Buffer? Here's what changes when you're managing clients, not just channels.

Buffer works well for a single team managing its own channels. Once you're running social for multiple clients, the thing you're missing isn't a feature — it's a way to keep each client's content, team, and reporting separate. That's what Sendible's Workspaces are built for.

Frequently asked
questions.

Buffer's own help centre confirms there's no dedicated client structure — every client's social accounts are simply added as more "channels" to the same shared account. A 10-client agency with 5 channels each is treated as 50 channels in one pool, with no built-in separation between clients. 
Yes — Buffer prices per channel, so cost rises directly with how many client accounts are connected, regardless of how the agency is organised. At 42 channels (matching Sendible Premium's 42 profiles), Buffer Team costs $192.50/mo billed annually. 
Sendible Premium is the closest match at agency scale — $169/mo billed annually, including 42 social profiles across 7 Workspaces, roughly matching Buffer Team's 42-channel allocation at a lower price. 
Yes, genuinely — Buffer Team includes unlimited team members, approval workflows and custom access permissions. This isn't a gap; it's one of Buffer's real strengths. The difference is scope: those tools apply across one shared account, not separated per client. 

Not as a structural feature — Buffer's own agency guide doesn't describe a client-specific dashboard or reporting view; all channels live in the same account. Sendible's Workspaces give each client separate content, users, and reporting inside one account. 

Buffer's reports export as CSV, PDF, or markdown when generated, confirmed from Buffer's own feature pages. Sendible's reports can be automatically emailed from Premium, without needing to export them each time. 

Yes — for a single team running its own accounts, Buffer's Free, Essentials or Team plans are a solid, capable choice. The gap shows up specifically at the agency scale, once multiple clients need to stay organisationally separate.

At matched scale (42 channels/profiles, billed annually), Sendible Premium is about 12% cheaper than Buffer Team — $169/mo vs $192.50/mo. A real but modest gap; the bigger difference is structural and functional, not price. 

Additional Workspaces can be added to a plan at a per-Workspace cost that decreases at higher tiers. While adding an additional workspace will cost $35, on Enterprise it will be $15. This is a structural option Buffer doesn't have at all, since it has no Workspace-equivalent concept to add. 

Two signals, not one. The structural one: needing to keep multiple clients' content, teams, and reporting cleanly separate inside one account, which Buffer's per-channel, single-account model doesn't support at any plan. The financial one: per-channel pricing keeps climbing as the client list grows, and Team is Buffer's highest self-serve tier — there's no further plan to grow into for more capability, just more of the same structure at a higher channel count. Sendible has Elite and Enterprise above Premium for agencies that keep scaling, with more Workspaces, advanced permissions, a full white-label option and dedicated support built in as they grow. 

On Sendible, yes — Client Connect is included on every plan, letting clients securely connect their own social profiles through a widget, without handing over login credentials to the agency. Buffer has no equivalent: since there's no client-specific structure at all, there's no client-facing connection flow to speak of — accounts get added and managed centrally by whoever runs the Buffer account.
