Buffer adds machine-readable pricing page for AI agents
What happened
Between the Apr 6, 2026 and Apr 13, 2026 captures of Buffer's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Buffer added a 'See machine-readable pricing (for AI agents)' link on the pricing page, providing structured pricing data access via /pricing.md for automated tools. Pulse files it as a product change (feature added) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Aug 10, 2026) lists Essentials at $5 and Team at $10.
It lands 10 days after Buffer's previous change, "Buffer: comment scheduling and replies expand to Facebook, TikTok and Google Business Profile" (Apr 3, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Reply to comments feature expanded to support TikTok and Google Business Profile posts" (Mar 16, 2026), "Buffer slashes prices 75% but cuts default channels to 1" (Mar 3, 2026) and "Buffer Rebrands Team Plan Seats as Unlimited Team Members" (Week 4, 2026). Buffer has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Sproutsocial and Hootsuite also changed their Marketing & Content pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
