Yep, I used to be a huge advocate of Buffer, I still use it but enjoying Later more so. Buffer cares more about $$$ now sadly.

@futuresgreen Hey Darren, thanks so much for advocating for Buffer and we're fans of Later too! We do think a lot about revenue and how we can create a sustainable business. Delivering a better experience with our products and customer service is the biggest part of that, so I really appreciate you taking the time to share thoughts with us. Feel free to shoot me a note with any other feedback on how we can improve. 🙏

Sad to see it's not available for Pro customers.
Thibault Milan
@benbrausen Feeling the same. It's like they really don't care nor assume anymore their firsts customers base ...

@benbrausen it's sad to see that a lot of people expect things to be free. Usually, these people don't do anything for free. By the way, I never used buffer and probably never will, but this attitudine is terribly annoying.

@luqa I have a paid Buffer account and have since 2013. I'm not expecting them to be free but I think it's reasonable to want features like this included with a paid account rather than only the top tier accounts.

Hey Ben, first up I just wanted to say thanks for being part of our community for so long. We definitely take your feedback to heart and appreciate it. To be honest, it's a bit of juggling act deciding which features should be included on what plans. We're completely funded by customer revenue, so we have to be quite thoughtful about tiering so that we can sustain our products in the long term. In general, I'd say Buffer has been considered a "cost-effective" option for customers for quite some time. We've done a fair bit of research across our customer base, and one theme that consistently bubbles up is that customers have been disappointed that we haven't been adding new features that other tools have. With that in mind, we're really trying to focus on adding value to our products with improved functionality, rather than lowering prices.

Really sad to see yet another feature which is available only to the "new" customers while the first era customers on legacy plans don't get them :(

This is brilliant! Even though I rarely use hashtag, I could imagine how painful it is to write so many hashtags every time I want to post something new. Great thing!

Ooh it was fun to wake up today and see this! Thanks for hunting us @amrith! Hey everyone, Mike from Buffer here hopping in to say hello and answer any questions. 👋 I've also made a couple of updates to the post and added some more makers. This was a big team effort! You can read a bit about what went into building Hashtag Manager in this blog post: https://buffer.com/resources/has.... I really appreciate the comments and feedback so far, thanks y'all. Just to share a little bit more about how our plans and pricing are set up, we currently have three tiers. 1. Pro, $15/month 2. Premium, $65/month 3. Business, starting at $99/month Hashtag Manager is available on our Premium plan (and up), which has a feature set that we really hope is a good fit for growing brands. If you're interested in seeing a breakdown of the features that are available on each plan, we have some info here: https://buffer.com/pricing/publi...

As a long time Buffer user and fan, I have only one question: How on earth was this not available earlier :) Keep up the good work @mike_eck

@alexlazarevic Thanks so much for the encouragement! 🙏

I read "sad to see it's not free". I actually reread it a couple of times. Maybe I was in an altered state of mind.
