Flekh vs Buffer

The Buffer alternative with review and approval built in.

Buffer is a clean, low-cost scheduler. It is perfect when you post alone. When a client or a teammate must review the video and approve the post first, that work moves to other tools. Flekh does it before the post, in one place.
