Which one is for you
Pick Kontentino if
- Fits if an agency needs clients to sign off posts before they go out
- Makes sense if you have 3 to 10 people on the work
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you are a solo user, since Starter is priced for 3 users at $59 a month
- Not for you if you want analytics included, as it is an add-on from 54 euros a month on Starter and Standard
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because there is none
- Watch out: subscriptions are non-refundable, per the pricing FAQ
Pick Planable if
- Fits if clients or legal have to approve every post
- Works for agencies that want reviewers to log in without seat fees
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you have more than 4 profiles or 60 posts a month, which pushes you from Basic to Pro
- Not for you if you want analytics or an inbox included: they're $14 and $9 a workspace a month extra, billed monthly
- Skip it if you want an archive, since published posts are deleted after 13 months
- Watch out: the free start is 50 posts in total, X needs a paid plan, and Basic sends one X post a day
- Pricey if you need SSO or multi-level approvals, which are on Enterprise with no published price

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
