## Ways to pay less

- **Two months free with yearly billing** (Annual discount): Yearly billing brings Basic to $33 a workspace a month from $39, and Pro to $49 from $59. Source: https://planable.io/pricing/

## Key features

- **Feed, calendar and grid views:** Posts can be planned in a feed that previews each network, a calendar or an Instagram-style grid (Pro). Campaigns and labels group related content.
- **Comments and approvals:** Reviewers annotate text, suggest edits and approve posts. Approvals can be optional on Basic, required on Pro and multi-step on Enterprise.
- **Publishing to nine networks:** Scheduling covers Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Google Business Profile and Threads, with first comments and recurring posts.
- **Universal content:** Newsletters, blog posts, ads and other non-social content can be planned and approved in the same calendar.
- **AI writing and MCP connector:** AI rewrites and generates posts on every plan, and an MCP connector lets an AI assistant create and manage content across workspaces.
- **Paid add-ons:** Analytics ($12 a workspace a month yearly), a comments and DMs inbox ($7.50) and social listening ($82.50), each with a 30-day trial.

## Good for

- Agencies that need clients to review and approve posts before they go out
- Brand teams with legal or multi-step sign-off
- Teams that want every reviewer to log in without seat fees

## Worth knowing

- The free start is 50 posts in total, not a monthly allowance, and X publishing is not available until a paid plan.
- Basic caps each workspace at 4 social pages and 60 posts a month, and publishes one X post every 24 hours.
- Analytics and the social inbox are not included on Basic or Pro; they cost $14 and $9 a workspace a month extra, billed monthly.
- Published posts are kept for 13 months on Basic and Pro, then deleted.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. Planable is all about sign-off. Posts sit in a feed that looks like each network, and teammates and clients comment, suggest edits and approve them. Every user is free, but analytics and an inbox are paid add-ons, and five profiles push you to Pro at $49 a month billed yearly.

- **Value for money: C.** Basic 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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Your first 50 posts are free, with no time limit and no card. That's a proper look, but it's 50 in total, not each month, and X publishing waits for a paid plan.
- **Features: C.** Approvals 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** There'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.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with Canva, Zapier, Slack, a public API on Pro and an MCP connector. No desktop app, which an A needs.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Planable you could make: calendar. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 10 of the 19 other social media schedulers grade higher. It costs $396 a year.

- You could make: Calendar: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Canva, Zapier and Slack among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
