How to migrate from Buffer to Kompozy (2026 guide)
Stop paying a scheduler separately — Kompozy generates the posts and schedules them.
Published 2026-05-21 · Updated
Short answer
To move from Buffer to Kompozy, save a copy of your Buffer posts, disconnect each channel from Buffer, and cancel at the end of the cycle while you start Kompozy in parallel. Kompozy generates the posts Buffer only schedules, then publishes them. Review every output for a week before autopilot. Stay with Buffer if you post to Bluesky, Mastodon or Google Business Profile, or just need a cheap scheduler.
Key takeaways
- Buffer has a free plan for 3 channels; Essentials is $5 and Team $10 per channel a month.
- Disconnect each channel from Buffer before you connect it to Kompozy, so nothing posts twice.
- Kompozy has no Buffer importer. Keep your old posts for reference and set your cadence again.
- Kompozy costs more than Buffer. It pays off only if it replaces your writer, design tool and clipper.
What does Kompozy replace when you leave Buffer?
- Buffer Essentials ($5 per channel a month)
- a writer like Jasper ($69/mo)

- a clipper like OpusClip ($29/mo)
How do you move from Buffer to Kompozy, step by step?

- Disconnect channels from Buffer. Disconnect each channel in Buffer. Do this before connecting the same channel to Kompozy to avoid duplicate posting.

- Connect publishing channels in Kompozy. Authorize each one. Kompozy schedules to TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube Shorts, Threads, Facebook, Pinterest, and email.
- Verify cadence settings match your Buffer rhythm. Set the Kompozy posting cadence for each platform to match the rhythm that worked for you in Buffer.
- Ramp into autopilot. Review every output by hand for a week, then turn on autopilot one source at a time.
- Track the math. Add up what you paid each month for Buffer, Jasper, Canva and OpusClip, and set it against Kompozy Starter ($199) or Pro ($499).
What does this look like in Kompozy?
A photo post made in the Kompozy workspace. Buffer schedules a post like this once you have made it. Kompozy generates it from a source and then schedules it.
Who is this for, and who should skip it?
Best for:
- People who pay for Buffer plus separate tools to write, design and clip the posts
- Creators who want one source turned into posts across formats, then scheduled
- Teams that want outputs reviewed before they publish
Not ideal for:
- Anyone who only needs scheduling; Buffer Essentials is $5 per channel a month
- People posting to Bluesky, Mastodon, Google Business Profile or Substack, which Buffer supports
- Writers who already make their own posts and like doing it
