Buffer is another social media scheduler that can be used across different social media platforms, including Instagram.

In order to schedule and publish your Instagram posts using Buffer, you'll have to install its mobile app and then get notified before publishing.

Buffer also offers a free account that comes with such limits as scheduling of only 10 posts at a time. If you want to schedule more posts, you'll have to upgrade your plan to the Awesome plan starting at $10 per month or $102 per year.

Other features that come with the Awesome plan include scheduled posts in the visual calendar and scheduled content appearing as a list on a feed. Buffer also lets you view comments and likes under each published post plus the ability to scan older posts and post them again.

The free plan allows for one account per social media network and a max of 10 scheduled posts each. You can access real-time analytics of Instagram posts and recycle old posts (re-Buffer) using this tool.
