The Caption step in Deploy: one caption going to seven platforms, with a counter under each platform's logo showing how it fits that platform's limit, a first comment, and a preview.
One caption for every platform, checked against each one's limit before it posts.

I wanted a way to send short videos to every platform without paying for each channel. Buffer's free plan covers 3 channels at once. Deploy's free plan lets you post 5 posts a month to all seven, and you can upload a batch of videos when you have them ready.

Your output is short video and it goes to most of the big platforms, so $15 flat beats $6 a channel. Upload your videos in a batch, give each its caption, and schedule when each one goes out.
