Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: We Don't Have Time at none against Buffer's 12. We Don't Have Time also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 54%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Buffer's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (35K vs 15). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Buffer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buffer has 35K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Buffer's written reviews are positive against 67% of We Don't Have Time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Buffer ships an update every 5 days, We Don't Have Time monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
