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?

Planable has helped us transition to a more visual way of planning our content and making sure it comes out right. The comment and suggestion features are intuitive and similar to collaborating on documents. The approval workflow ensures that all content has the required approvals before publishing. Although we don't use the AI writer/rewriter very often, it has helped a few times for when we're in a pinch with writers block. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Live collaboration can be a challenge sometimes. When one user is making comments/suggestions while the other is accepting or writing/rewriting, things can get mixed up and a bit frustrating. It's missing Microsoft SSO as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A visual content planner that helps you ditch excel sheets and powerpoints so you can see content the way it's inteded to be published. If you don't need all the other fluff of social media management tools, then this is for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That you can't add text onto the cover image for tiktoks like you can in app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I recently started a podcast where I wanted to share different content across my instagram and tiktok accounts at specific times of the day throughout the week which I just couldn't handle doing manually. By using planable, I can batch create & schedule all my content which I automatically push to my tiktok feed & instagram grid and I get a lovely little notification each day to post my stories (so I can add things like polls etc manually) which is super easy, no matter what I'm doing I don't miss a post!

What do you dislike about Planable?

There are some limitations but to be fair we are not sure if they are Planable's limitations or media platform's API limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

This was a very seamless onboarding experience and has so far been good for my client approvals process. I don't always use it to schedule posts, because often I want to use on-platform features to maximize engagement, but it seems to be very well thoughtout in terms of workflow, scheduling and approvals. Love that I can create a section for blog posts and emails and have those approved on the same platform. Hoping to learn how to maximize the platform so that the monthly investment feels worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Having the analytics be an add-on cost feels a little sly. Wish it were included in the monthly pricing, which is already quite high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My main business problem was approvals workflow, so it's good to have that as a solid base. I am hoping to integrate more of the social management as well, so that the monthly cost feels like I am getting decent ROI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

I love that I can take an hour or two and plan the entire month with of content to be posted on my client's socials. It makes it to easy to do my job. Setting it up is easy to do as well, I prefer the calender view and it allows me to visually see how all the posts are scheduled and lets me fill in the slots where we can benefit from some posting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

I dont like how Im not able to type in the hour I want the post to schedule, it never stays when I enter 9:00 AM, it forces me to use the drop down to lock in a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It allows me to schedule posts for my client for the entire month ahead of time. Save me a ton of time and make the whole process automated. I can focus on content instead of scheduling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

The fact that you can add up to 100 users in one plan. It is a game changer. It makes all the other ones seem like abusive.

It's ultra-layered and diversified permissions for collaborators, admins, approvers, etc makes everythign super smooth. Trust me, I've shopped around and this is by far the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

I disliked that, when charging me, they wouldnt let me pay only for the workspace I was using. I had to pay also for the ultra small one that barely ever posts. But the upsides make it worthy. I could've opened that other one with another email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Collaborative creation, review, editing and posting of social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
