As a solo creator you are paying for your own time, so the simplest tool that covers your channels usually wins. Per-channel pricing (Buffer) is cheap for two or three accounts and expensive for ten; flat plans (Publer, Metricool, Pallyy) scale better. Writing help, best-time suggestions and a content recycler are the features that save the most hours.
Buffer free covers three channels. Publer, Metricool and Pallyy have free tiers with more features and paid plans under $25 a month.
It helps most with repurposing one idea into several formats. Most tools now include it on paid plans, so it is rarely a reason to choose one tool over another.
If one network drives most of your audience, yes: Typefully or Hypefury for X, Taplio for LinkedIn, Tailwind for Pinterest. Otherwise a general scheduler is better value.
