Why X-Reply AI instead of Buffer?
Buffer is built for teams, not creators
Buffer's pricing reflects its target market: agencies and enterprise teams managing multiple brands. If you're a founder or creator building your personal brand on X, you're overpaying for features you'll never use.
AI that sounds like you, not generic copy
X-Reply AI builds a voice profile from your tweet history. Every generated reply matches your actual tone โ casual, technical, witty, or professional. Buffer's AI assistance doesn't learn your style.
Know exactly what you're paying for
With X-Reply AI's BYOK model: $5โ10/mo to us + $1โ5/mo to your AI provider. That's it. No hidden AI usage markups, no tiered limits, no surprises.
Purpose-built for X engagement
X-Reply AI is a Chrome extension built specifically for X.com engagement. One click generates a voice-matched reply to any tweet. Buffer is a multi-platform scheduling tool โ replying to tweets is an afterthought.
