Case: downsizing the stack cut tooling cost 71% with no output loss
A 4-person team paid $1,400/mo for an enterprise suite they used at 20%. They migrated scheduling + analytics to Buffer and kept a free analytics add-on.

✔ Monthly cost dropped to $400 (-71%)
✔ Post volume and engagement held flat over 90 days
✔ Onboarding a new hire dropped from a week to a day
✖ Lost enterprise listening and approval routing
✖ No 24/7 dedicated support

Best for: small teams over-paying for enterprise they don't use.
Price: Buffer ~$60/mo for the channels used vs $1,400 suite.

Pick this if you're paying enterprise rates for SMB usage.
