<b>Buffer vs Publer: the first-comment test</b>

<b>Buffer vs Publer: the first-comment test</b>
First-comment is where you stash Instagram hashtags or a link without cluttering the caption. Both schedule it natively, but they behave differently.

Buffer
✔ Auto-posts the first comment reliably on IG and LinkedIn
✖ No variable/spintax, so every post's comment is identical

Publer
✔ First-comment plus recycling and watermarking in one screen
✖ First-comment on TikTok is still flaky in testing

Best for: Buffer if you want zero-fuss reliability; Publer if you batch and recycle.
Price: Buffer free (3 channels), then $5/channel/mo. Publer free (3 accounts), Pro $12/mo.
Pick this if you live in IG first-comments: Publer's bulk handling wins, but verify TikTok manually.
