Frequently asked questions

Is Zebrafy a Buffer alternative?
Not a direct replacement — they solve different problems. Buffer schedules content you've already written. Zebrafy writes the content in your brand voice. Most users pair them: generate in Zebrafy, schedule in Buffer.
Does Zebrafy work with Buffer?
Yes. Zebrafy's Chrome extension adds a Zebra Button to any text field on the web — including Buffer's post composer. Generate on-brand content in Buffer without switching tabs.
Why use Zebrafy if Buffer has an AI assistant?
Buffer's AI assistant is prompt-based — you describe what you want every time and it doesn't remember your brand voice across sessions. Zebrafy's Brand DNA is persistent and structural. Every generation is constrained by your voice profile automatically — no re-describing your brand for every post.
