Mydrop Enterprise: unlimited brands and channels, portals, white label, no-login approvals
Buffer prices computed from the per-channel tier table published on buffer.com/pricing and support.buffer.com, read September 2026 (USD, monthly billing; $187.50/mo on annual billing). Yes: at exactly that footprint Buffer is slightly cheaper than Mydrop Enterprise. What the $249 buys is the entire client layer Buffer doesn't ship, and Mydrop Pro at $59 covers up to 10 brands and 30 profiles if that fits your footprint.
What we built instead
Buffer schedules the post. We run the client.
Their agency flow makes the client a Buffer user. Ours never does.
A portal, not a shared login
Posts, files, reports and chat on the client's own domain.

Managing 14+ social platforms felt like a 2 a.m. nightmare until Mydrop. The AI brand-voice mapping is scary accurate, and the client approval portal saved me easily 15 hours this week alone. It's the ultimate set-and-forget workspace for busy agencies.
Google reviewA true automation tool for scheduling (and creating) social media content! It has saved me over 20 hours of work already in just my first couple weeks. A true game-changer for anyone in business, big or small!
Trustpilot reviewFinally tried Mydrop on a test client and the white-label portal on a custom domain actually looks legit, no Mydrop branding sneaking in. The OAuth setup saved me from the usual “what's my password” back-and-forth.
Product Hunt commentAbsolute game-changer. Mydrop completely automated my content workflow. The scheduling is flawless, it actually feels intuitive, and it saved me 10+ hours in my very first week. Best decision I've made for my socials!

Google reviewFAQ
Questions, answered.
Not always, and we won't pretend otherwise. As of September 2026, a 10-client, 40-channel agency on Buffer Team is about $225/mo (monthly billing) versus $249/mo for Mydrop Enterprise. Under 10 brands and 30 profiles, Mydrop Pro at $59/mo is usually far cheaper than the equivalent channel count on Team. The real difference is what's included: portals, white label, no-login approvals, scheduled reports.
Yes. Mydrop clients approve from a tokenized link or from WhatsApp, no account needed. Buffer's documented flow, as of September 2026, is adding the client as a user on the Team plan so they can review and approve inside Buffer.
AI writing is included on every Mydrop plan with no credit packs, same as Buffer on that score. The difference is context: Mydrop's AI drafts from each brand's stored voice, assets and rules. AI image and video generation carry monthly allowances by plan, and we say so rather than hiding it.
Yes. Connect your profiles and Mydrop imports each one's post history, duplicates handled. Your calendar and analytics start populated, not empty.
A solo creator with two or three channels, no client approvals, and no reporting duty gets a lot from Buffer's free and Essentials tiers. If that's you today, stay, and come back when the first client asks to see next week's posts.
