Adding or removing a channel slot from Buffer

⭐️ This article applies to anyone on our pay-per-channel pricing. If you'd like to learn more about these plans visit our pricing page or email us at hello@buffer.com.

The cost of your subscription plan is based on the total number of channel slots available for your account.

What counts as a channel? Each social account you connect is a channel. For instance, a Facebook Page, Facebook Group, X/Twitter profile, Linked Page and Linked Profile would count as 5 channels.

How many channel slots should you purchase? Well, one social channel fits into each channel slot. For instance, if I have a Facebook Page, a LinkedIn profile, and a Facebook group, I’ll purchase three channel slots.

  1. Click on your profile avatar at the top right of your dashboard and then click Channels from the drop down menu.
