Which one is for you
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
Pick Postfity if
- Fits if you want AI writing and graphics in the same account as your scheduler
- Works for one person managing about 7 accounts on a plan
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need bulk uploads on the cheap plan, since that's a $19 a month add-on
- Tight if you rely on the free plan, because its scheduling limits aren't published
- Pricey if you add accounts and users: $5 and $10 a month each on the One plan
- Watch out: limits follow Simplified's plan names and AI credits, so the numbers can shift
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAPlanableFair | 2.0GPAPostfityFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CBasic stops at 4 social pages, so five profiles means Pro: $49 a month per workspace billed yearly, with unlimited users. That's between this category's $29 middle and $58 dearer quarter, and analytics add $12 a month on top. | C$20 a month on yearly billing for 7 accounts and 1 user ($29.99 monthly), around the category middle. Extra accounts are $5, extra users $10 and bulk scheduling $19, each monthly. |
| Free plan and trial | CYour first 50 posts are free, with no time limit and no card. It's 50 in total, not each month, and X publishing waits for a paid plan. | CA free plan exists with design projects, 5 GB and a few AI credits, but the pricing page doesn't list its scheduling or account limits, so we can't say how far it gets you. |
| Features | CApprovals are the focus: comments, suggested edits, optional or required sign-off, and publishing to nine networks. The gaps its listing names: analytics and the inbox aren't included on Basic or Pro, and published posts are deleted after 13 months. | CCalendar, drafts, inbox, approvals, analytics and link in bio, plus AI writing and design. The gaps are the add-ons: bulk scheduling isn't in the One plan. |
| Ease of use | CThere's no App Store rating on record for us to go by, and you'll set up workspaces, pages and approval steps first. So it gets the ordinary grade. | CNo store rating on record. You connect accounts, and the Simplified plan names and credits take some working out. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Canva, Zapier, Slack, a public API on Pro and an MCP connector. No desktop app, which an A needs. | CWeb only. It lists Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Google Business Profile, and no wider integrations. |
| Best for | getting posts approved by clients | scheduling with AI writing and design in the same account |

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.
