Planable is a social media planning tool built around collaboration and approvals. Teams and clients create, comment on, approve and schedule posts in one place, priced per workspace rather than per user. Paid plans start at $33 per workspace per month billed yearly, and a free trial covers your first 50 posts.

Who is Planable for?

Planable suits agencies that manage social media for several clients, and in-house marketing teams where legal, brand or leadership must sign off before anything goes live. Because each workspace includes unlimited users, clients and reviewers can join without adding seat costs. Solo creators who only need scheduling may find a cheaper scheduler enough.

What are Planable's main features?

Planning views and campaigns

Posts appear as they will look on each network, in a feed, calendar, Instagram grid or list view. Campaigns and labels group content, and the number of each depends on your plan.

Collaboration and approvals

Reviewers comment, suggest edits and annotate text directly on a post. Approval workflows can be optional, required or, on Enterprise, multi-level. Bulk approval and share links speed up client sign-off, and version history shows what changed.

Scheduling and publishing

Planable schedules to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Google Business Profile and Threads. Universal content lets you plan other formats, such as blog posts or newsletters, in the same calendar.

Add-ons, AI and integrations

Analytics, a social inbox for comments and DMs, and social listening are paid add-ons on Basic and Pro. AI can generate or rewrite posts. Integrations include Zapier, Canva and Slack, plus an MCP connector on every plan and a public API from Pro.
