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?

A lot of social platforms included such as Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok. I like that within those platforms, I can set-up automatic postings across my personal, group, and business accounts. It's great for a one-man content team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

That it doesn't have Pinterest and I'm currently in a country that does not allow access to Tiktok. Although the local language version of Tiktok is available, I just wish I can access Tiktok from here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

It puts together the agency and the client in one single workspace and allows faster, informed decisions. Also, it helps clients visualize the actual social media posts and saves a lot of time = money spent in writing emails and Word documents.

I add the fact that the guys from Planable are prompt in addressing any issue we might have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Don't dislike anything about Planable. What might be considered annoying by some is that sometimes the social media assets get disconnected, but this happens mostly due to the respective social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planable:

Spend enough time to understand all the available features. It will make you more effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As I said before, it helps to visualize in real-time what we propose for the clients. It also saves a lot of time since we write fewer emails to reach a decision with our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

The best thing about Planable is the pricing and the Custom plan option. Tons of platforms out there but no one offers a custom plane option and that is what catches my eyes also I like the interface also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

All I can say is there is nothing I dislike but support response time is slow. so they should improve it as soon as possible. Also, they need to improve the email support also fast communication is the best thing for business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planable:

I think anyone can use it easily and also it's way easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It solves a lot of my work. Now I can say I work in one place and that's all for the rest of the social media. I can say Planable was great help for my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

Media Library inside - all the videos and pictures that someone uploaded in your company can be reused in different pages.

Photo editor with text and crop and effects - good to fix something before posting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

- It can NOT post stories on instagram without using your phone (some other services and even facebooks BusinesSuite can plan stories that auto-posts without taking actions from your side).

- It throws errors about "aspect ratio" or video duration and does NOT post, but when you have a carousel with 10 pictures there is no way you can see what picture have that problem. You have an editor, why you not auto crop it?

- You pay per user, not per social page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It replaces me smmplanner that we don't use because it is made in Russia. But planable still doesn't have all that simple post features that smmplanner had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Noa Lupu of Planable

Hey Kirill,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Unfortunately, the API for publishing Instagram stories directly has not been released for any third-party scheduling tool. All Instagram publishing is done through Facebook's API, which is why Facebook Business Suite has access to publish stories (available since April). We're hopeful they'll give access to other tools as well in the near future.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding carousel posts and have forwarded this to our team. We're planning to improve this experience in the future so it's clear which image needs revising before it's ready for automatic publishing. I'll be happy to update you once this is live.

For any other questions or feedback, please feel free to reach out in the chat or at hello@planable.io

What do you like best about Planable?

The various post views - a lot of platforms don't have this simple yet much-needed feature! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Whilst Planable does have some great features, it is still a pretty basic platform compared to its competitors (i.e. no stats available, no community management and/or social listening features, etc.).

The pricing is also a bit steep for the features that are provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Platform we're moving away from has had a lot of technical issues and is late to adopt basic features which we've been able to find with Planable (i.e. @ mentions in copy, location tagging, etc.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

One of the best features of planable is the calendar view, it helps us to lay out all of our posts in advance. The synching content feature is great as well because we don't have to copy the same post across all of our platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

I think the website could be a little more user-friendly. Sometimes it is hard to figure out certain things, but I have reached out to their support team and they are very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planable:

If you are looking to spend more time on the back end of your business while still keeping up your social media presence, you should definitely use Planable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to post frequently across all of our social media platforms, which helps us to grow our business and make connections with people. We can use sit down and create all of our posts at once and then schedule them out for the entire upcoming week, which saves us a lot of time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
