Questions before you switch

Is Poststack a good Buffer alternative for Indian agencies?

What is the biggest difference between Poststack and Buffer?

Poststack supports two client workflows: a no-login magic link for quick post review and an authenticated client portal for ongoing workspace access. It also caps revision rounds and is billed in INR, while Buffer collaboration features, with less agency-specific structure.

Does Poststack support the same social networks as Buffer?

Poststack publishes to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, YouTube and Threads. Compare that list with the networks your team actively manages, since broader coverage only matters when you use those channels.

What are Poststack's two client feedback workflows?

Use a magic link when a client needs to review a specific post without creating an account. Use the authenticated client portal when a client needs an ongoing view of their workspace calendar and feedback history. Both workflows feed into the same revision record for the operator.

Can clients review content without creating an account?

Yes. The magic-link workflow lets a client view a specific post and leave feedback without creating a Poststack account. Clients who need ongoing workspace access can use the authenticated client portal instead.
