If you write fiction, move from Buffer to Sudowrite in 2026. If you market B2B, do not. This guide is for the novelists. It details the steps and the losses involved.

Data loss warning
All scheduled posts in Buffer will be lost if not manually rescheduled. Historical analytics data will not transfer to Sudowrite. Export everything you need before canceling.
What you lose after the move
You will no longer schedule posts across multiple social media platforms. Sudowrite does not support this. It also cannot generate B2B marketing content. LinkedIn-specific features like carousel support are not present. Sudowrite is a fiction writing tool, not a marketing tool.
What it costs to move
Sudowrite pricing starts from $10/mo for hobby use. Full manuscript drafting costs $44/mo. Beyond subscription fees, there are switching costs. These are often overlooked but impact productivity.

Can I run both during the switch?
Running both Buffer and Sudowrite simultaneously is possible. However, their functions do not overlap. Buffer handles social media. Sudowrite writes fiction. Maintaining both subscriptions is largely unnecessary. The tools serve different purposes.
Minimal overlap
Sudowrite offers no B2B features. There is no direct content overlap with Buffer's marketing functions.
What about my old content?
Historical data from Buffer will not transfer to Sudowrite. This includes past scheduled posts and analytics. You must export and store this data yourself. Sudowrite does not import social media history.
Will Sudowrite help with my B2B LinkedIn posts?
Sudowrite is purpose-built for fiction. It will not generate B2B marketing content. Do not expect it to assist with LinkedIn posts. Its algorithms are trained on creative writing, not business communication.

Is there a free trial for Sudowrite?
Sudowrite offers credit-based tiers. These start at $10/mo. New users receive free credits upon signup. This allows you to test the platform before committing to a paid plan.
