Buffer Expands Comment Reply Support to YouTube and Mastodon
What happened
Between the Apr 20, 2026 and Apr 27, 2026 captures of Buffer's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Community inbox 'Reply to comments' feature now supports YouTube and Mastodon, expanding from 8 to 10 supported platforms across all plans. Pulse files it as a product change (feature change). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists Essentials at $5 and Team at $10.
It lands 13 days after Buffer's previous change, "Buffer adds machine-readable pricing page for AI agents" (Apr 13, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Reply to comments feature expanded to support TikTok and Google Business Profile posts" (Mar 16, 2026) and "Buffer slashes prices 75% but cuts default channels to 1" (Mar 3, 2026). Buffer has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Hootsuite and Sproutsocial also changed their Marketing & Content pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
