Picked Buffer over Hootsuite for social scheduling, here is what happened after 2 months

I had to choose between Buffer and Hootsuite for scheduling posts across 3 client accounts. Went with Buffer because the interface felt less cluttered. After 2 months, the analytics are way simpler to read but I miss Hootsuite's bulk upload feature. Has anyone else switched and found a workaround for that?

Buddy of mine ran into the same thing when he switched last fall. He uses Airtable to plan out a month of posts, then just copies and pastes them into Buffer one day at a time. Took him like an hour on a Sunday and he said it actually forced him to look at each post before scheduling instead of blindly dumping 50 tweets. He still complains about it sometimes but admits his engagement went up a bit. Says the tradeoff is worth it for how much cleaner the analytics dashboard is.

Honestly I feel like that's a lot of effort for something that's supposed to be a time saver lol. An hour every Sunday plus copying and pasting one at a time just to use Buffer's dashboard feels like polishing a turd but whatever works for him I guess.
