A Buffer alternative for Telegram and Discord

| X, Bluesky, Mastodon | Yes | Yes |
| Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads, YouTube, Pinterest, Google Business Profile | No | Yes |
| Free plan | 30 posts a month (10 on X), one brand | 3 channels, 10 scheduled posts per channel |
| Paid plans start at | US$8 a month for one brand and all its accounts | US$5 a month per channel, billed yearly |
| Connector for AI apps (MCP) | Every plan | Every plan |
| API | Creator and Business plans | Every plan |
Choose Echoly if
- Your community lives on Telegram and X (crypto and Web3 projects, games, indie apps) and you want one schedule for both, plus Discord, Bluesky and Mastodon.
- You want AI apps or scripts to draft posts that wait for your approval. Optional automatic approval checks every number against the facts you attach, blocks words you list, stops repeats and keeps to a daily cap.
- You'd rather pay one price per brand than a price per channel, or pay in USDC, SOL or SKR.
Choose Buffer if
- You need Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads, YouTube or Pinterest.
- You want analytics and team tools across many channels.
- You want API access on a free plan.
Moving from Buffer
- Create a free Echoly workspace with your email and add a brand.
- Connect your accounts: X through X's own sign-in, a Telegram bot you add as an admin of your channel, a Bluesky app password, your Mastodon server, and a Discord channel webhook.
- Write or paste your posts, pick the accounts and a time, and approve. There is no import of a Buffer queue, so copy over the posts you still need.
