Flomixy vs Buffer
Flomixy is a social media scheduler built for agencies: a workspace per client, client approval without a paid seat, and white-label on your own domain. Buffer is a publishing tool for many networks, priced per channel, with approval workflows on its Team plan. Buffer reaches more networks, including X, YouTube and Pinterest, and has a permanent free plan. Flomixy is free during beta.

Questions
Flomixy is built around client work: a workspace per client, client approval without a paid seat and white-label on your own domain. Buffer is built around publishing to many networks, with pricing per connected channel.
Buffer’s pricing page lists branded reports with your logo on the Team plan. It does not list a white-label app on your own domain, which Flomixy includes.
Buffer lists approval workflows and custom access on the Team plan, at $10 per channel per month. The pricing page does not describe whether a client can approve without a paid seat. In Flomixy a client approves without one.
