Planable Overview

What is Planable?

Planable is a social media collaboration platform that brings teams and brands together under one roof. Sporting an intuitive UI and a one-click-away experience, Planable helps teams do away with clunky social media management processes by streamlining everything content-related, from planning, scheduling, and publishing content to collaboration and approval. WHO USES PLANABLE? Owing to its roots in the agency and creative world, Planable is a platform created by people who understand exactly what creatives need — a tool that eliminates the logistics of social media management and allows them to focus on creating content. Currently, 50K users and over 5K teams from brands such as Hyundai, Christian Louboutin, Viber, and United Nations use Planable to approve and collaborate on their content. WHAT ARE THE MAIN FEATURES OF PLANABLE? At its core, Planable is the product of three people who experienced the same social media management hurdles in their agency days. Consequently, Planable designed its main features with teams in mind. WYSIWYG Planable follows a WYSIWYG design philosophy, focusing on simplicity, elegance, and efficiency. Planable is designed to be user-friendly both to technically-savvy social media teams as well as those that simply want a tool that gets the job done. Everything is one click away and in the same place — no need to clutter your browser with dozens of tabs. FOUR WAYS TO VIEW CONTENT Social media campaigns have lots of moving parts. This makes having an accurate overview of campaigns all the more important. Planable’s four ways to view content allow teams to literally vizualize their work quickly and effortlessly: 1. Feed view. Designed to mimic the feel and flow of social media. Displays posts exactly as they appear on feeds. 2. Calendar view. Get a helicopter view of campaigns and plan posts days and months ahead. Scheduling content is as simple as dragging and dropping it to its relevant time slot. 3. List view. Offers a quick view of posts across all pages and the ability to do bulk actions. In this view, users can see a snippet of the caption, the status of the posts, the author, and the date and time of publishing. 4. Grid view. The place to plan and preview Instagram posts. Also great for designing beautiful Instagram grids hassle-free. SEAMLESS TEAM COLLABORATION With Planable, collaboration is the name of the game. Collaboration happens right next to the post, where it makes sense, in the form of comments and replies. Teams can tag each other to share their thoughts, drop files, and any relevant assets. With internal notes, teams can keep their work away from the client’s eyes until all the posts’ rough edges have been shaved. MULTI-LEVEL APPROVAL PROCESSES With Planable’s approval workflows, no post sees the light of day until it’s 100% ready. Every team has its own dynamic, so Planable offers one of four approval workflows: 1. None. For one-person ventures and teams that don’t need an approval workflow. 2. Optional. For flexible teams that don’t necessarily need an approval workflow but want one in place just in case. Team members can request approval from the people in charge with a single click. If the designated approver is not available, they can go ahead and schedule and/or publish posts on their own. 3. Required. No post goes live without the approval of managers. Especially useful for marketing teams who work with clients. 4. Multiple levels of approval. Teams that select this option can set as many levels of approval as they need. Each level can have one or multiple approvers. When one of them gives their approval, the post is pushed to the next level until all the relevant parties have vetted the content. EIGHT SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS Currently, Planable supports the big seven social platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest and Google My Business. ANALYTICS & REPORTING See all your social media insights at a glance and easily create reports for your clients and stakeholders. And we’re just getting started Conquering the social media space is just the first step. Planable’s long-term goal is to become the content collaboration solution for marketers around the world.

What do you like best about Planable?

We've been using Planable for over 2 years and I can confidently say that it is hands down the best social media planner app out there. This comes from someone who has tried a dozen of the most popular apps.

It's not only intuitive to set up and use, we absolutely love the feedback & suggestion feature when reviewing post drafts. It's a game-changer and I do not know how we, or any other team can do without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Can't really find anything we don't like about Planable, but if I have to really try, I'd love to see the ability to suggest and create pins from a single article link Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using a social media planner as a team. We needed something where we can leave feedback for our team members Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

Planable is so easy to use. Create your content and put it on a schedule that works for your business. And then see how it performs. I love the ability to see everything, easily integrate all platforms and know when and what is going to post. This is a robust platform that offers everything I need from a social standpoint and look forward to seeing how it will continue to help us grow. Since starting with Plannable, I am posting much more frequently and have yet to need to use the awesome customer support I know they offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like to see a cheaper option for small businesses on a monthly basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

Planable is easy to implement and has become an essential part of my day-to-day tasks as a business owner and social media manager. I like how easy it is to plan posts across different social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest. It's great that you can connect multiple accounts, which makes managing everything in one place really convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Planable is quite expensive, and even with the basic plan, some features are still locked. It's priced higher than other similar apps, which can be frustrating if you're looking for more affordable options.

The biggest downside is that the grid feature, which is crucial for social media planning, isn't included in the basic plan. This is frustrating because it's one of the most important tools for a social media planner. I currently use a third-party app to plan the grid, but it would be ideal if this feature were included in the price, given how high the cost is compared to other apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Planable helps me streamline the process of scheduling and managing content across multiple social media platforms. Before using Planable, it was challenging to coordinate posts across different accounts and keep everything organized. Now, I can easily plan, review, and adjust my content strategy in one place, which saves me time and ensures consistency in my brand messaging. This efficiency allows me to focus more on creating engaging content and growing my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

It can be a bit expensive for smaller companies. I do wish there were more options when upgrading from free to paid where we could choose limits to posts rather than limits to connected channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

I've been extremely impressed with how customizable Planable is! It has solutions for all of our team's use cases, and in many cases, it even has additional resources that go above and beyond!

This is our first month using the product, but so far, I've been impressed by the UX and how simple (yet powerful) the functionality has been. It's saved us a ton of time on frustrating social posting platforms that we can now spend on our primary focus - and it's allowed us to still stay current and up-to-date on our posting schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

I wish that the List view came native with the first few tiers of pricing, but considering that the pricing itself is more than fair, it's really not a huge complaint! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planable solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were spending days planning and scheduling all of our company's social postings - but Planable allows us to bulk import our posts and assign them to the appropriate accounts in minutes. It's also been incredibly intuitive to plan longer campaigns that we otherwise might have lost track of. Planable has allowed us to keep our social calendar on course!

What do you like best about Planable?

I love the ease of collaborating with my VA and having everything in one place. The chat function is great, I got replies to my questions quickly, and also received follow-up emails to check that I received the answers I needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

It's a shame that we can't schedule to personal facebook profiles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Planable, the communication with my VA and business partner was taking up a lot of valuable time. Now, all our social media conversations and chats are consolidated and streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

The interface is easy and straightforward to use. Questions are answered promptly by customer support, and there are various resources you can access to learn how to use the program. Planable has made our team's life easier by streamlining posts among various apps and insights to analytics all in one place all while being an easy addition our marketing and social media teams. Implementing it was also very easy to use and integrate to our practice.

Regarding the membership prices, I believe them to be fair, and due to the frequency we post across all social media platforms, it has helped us save time and use one control center versus each channel individually.

The features, such as the analytics portion, give us insights regarding how our posts are doing, and most importantly, we get to know our audience better. Now we know what to post and what not to post. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

So far, all is good. We haven't really had any issues with the program.

We don't understand why the program charges per User if we are just one company using it. It should allow us to collaborate as an organization for one fixed fee.

Asides from the user pricing, we believe that is well priced considering it makes our lives easier and saves us TONS of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planable solving and how is that benefiting you?

First of all it is an easy place to plan and schedule ahead and through multiple social media channels. It has been saving us TONS of time when sharing posts and planning. The insight and analytics are an amazing way to learn about who our followers/audience is and how to better accommodate our content so that it is directed to them.
