When the stack builder picks it
The builder reads each job's rules from the top and takes the first step whose conditions hold and whose plan fits the money left. Buffer is named in these steps:
- Social posts, step 2 of 4, when less than $6 is left for it: the free plan.
- Social posts, step 3 of 4, when less than $29 is left for it: Essentials ($6/mo per channel); the step also names Hypefury, and the best score takes it.
- Social posts, step 4 of 4, otherwise: Essentials ($6/mo per channel); the step also names SocialBee, ContentStudio, Predis.ai and Hypefury, and the best score takes it.
The rules are public in stack-rules.json, and how the stack builder scores explains the tie-break.
Works with
Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Threads, TikTok and Pinterest.
