Pick Tweet Hunter if x operators who will use the 7-day trial, then stay on the $49 plan while they queue a first inspiration —

Read the Buffer pagex operators who will use the 7-day trial, then stay on the $49 plan while they queue a first inspiration — not the $99 AI-writing plan first unless they need that assistant, and not a forever-free seat (there isn’t one).
