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 is visually brilliant at helping understand how social media posts will look when published. The approval process is incredibly intuitive and makes scheduling a doddle. It's also very simple to add new social platforms at a click of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

So far, there's not much to dislike. I'd like the ability to add predesigned Twitter cards into Planable draft view. Also, adding Twitter Polls (and Linkedin Polls) would be useful as these are native features within the channels.

I'd also like some analytics to be brought into the Planable dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planable:

When you compare similar services, consider the competitive pricing Planable offers and definitely try the free trial before committing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Planable is adding immediate value with scheduling, designing and visualising social media posts.

The media library feature is also a godsend which really speeds up the whole allocation of visual assets to planned tweets / posts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Justin Mogildea of Planable

Hey Rax,

Thanks a lot for your feedback. We will definitely take your suggestions into consideration! Regarding analytics, unfortunately, it's not something we plan to bring into Planable in the near future. Our focus is on planning, previewing, and collaboration. Concerning Polls, this is currently an API limitation, however, we will add them to our list of improvements as soon as this will be possible.

What do you like best about Planable?

It is excellent that you can schedule your content for Twitter, Meta, Instagram and TikTok. Especially TikTok part is excellent, and seeing them as a list or grid is always essential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Prices are expensive. Some features are so important, like the grid, but I have to pay much more for them. Also, workspace pricing is costly. That is why I will immigrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

I love that Planable keeps it stupid simple and that you can use their FREE version for an unlimited amount of time.

The whole platform doesn't overcomplicate things with too many bells and whistles. It does just what you need it to - plan and schedule content for all your social platforms.

There are a few simple extras to help keep you organized, like labels and the ability to add the first comment for hashtags and branded CTAs. Plus the approval workflow is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

There are a few things it could do better, but for the inexpensive cost, I think it's ok for now.

I do hope in the future these items are added so when I do upgrade it will make it worth it.

1. It doesn't have any analytics or measurement tools

2. Customer Service Inbox - there is no way to interact with your customers, you have to use the native platforms for engagement

3. It doesn't integrate with Zapier for automation into other platforms that can measure

4. The photo editing is very basic, I don't use it at all and use Canva or Adobe software to make all my edits before uploading Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planable:

If you're looking for a way to post to all your social channels that is inexpensive and simple, this is your tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Simple, cost-effective cross-functional platform posting.

Only the test of time will tell if this actually saves me more money because I have to use other platforms to offset what this one doesn't have, like measurement and customer service engagement actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hey Meghan,

Creating posts to cross multiple channels is quick and easy. I run my business part time so I can't post during normal working hours manually. This lets me create that presence but without needing to be there everytime to post. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Planable?

I like the way the page is laid out, unlike other BIG scheduling companies which are really ugly. We can see the posts as they will actually look on the platforms. Also with the different layouts we can see how the flow of posts works.

We find the ability to collaborate and to get client approval is vital for our business, and planable is really the only solution out there to do that.

We can handle multiple clients through one platform.

Being able to set up schedules and to push to multiple channels, it really saves time.

My clients like the app for approval.

My Social Media Manager LOVES planable for its easy of use, viewing and managing posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

It's difficult to link two instagram accounts to one workspace and publish from the app.

5 people on an account (but we could pay to have more) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planable:

Who doesn't need client approvals or input for posts? We love planable as it makes collaboration within the team and clients so easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Client approvals

Scheduling

Team collaboration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is friendly. It did not take me a lot of time to discover the features. I felt like an expert within the first few days of using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

My business is really very small and reducing the workspace to only 2 which is what I need now may save me some bucks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I definitely spent lesser time posting on social media and I get to focus more on content creation rather than posting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it doesn't serve Pinterest, it would be perfect if so Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
