The biggest differences that matter
Status 200 gives you both a clean dashboard and a full REST API. Buffer only offers a dashboard without a public API for posting.
Status 200 charges per plan, not per channel. Buffer charges per social channel, which adds up fast with multiple accounts.
Status 200 supports video uploads up to 5GB. Buffer has stricter file size limits on media uploads.
Fine-tune TikTok privacy, YouTube categories, and Pinterest boards directly in the post form. Buffer has limited platform-specific settings.
