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?

I have been using Planable for over a month and I find this application really well made and pleasant to use. I enjoy posting on social media and I save a lot of time using Planable. I highly recommend Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

It seems that one cannot schedule stories at the moment. In terms of price, even if Planable is not more expensive than the competition, it remains a budget for a small business. The offer of plans can sometimes seem limited, such as the number of monthly posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were saving time and it helps us in programming and teamwork. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Planable lacks some of Hootsuite's advanced analytics features, making it less suitable for users who rely heavily on in-depth performance metrics. And it would be useful if it could link into WordPress for content scheduling of blogs and articles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allowing me to plan both socail media and other marketing channel content such as direct mail and blogs/articles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

The thing I like the most about Planable is that it covers more social accounts that any other social planning site I have used. Also, when it comes to doing Instagram planning, you are able to post reels which is extremely helpful.

It is also laid out very simply and easy to understand when you first begin. I use it fairly often since I post for many clients and haven't had any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

The only thing I dislike about Planable is that you cannot approve a post across the board, or at least I haven't learned this feature yet!

For example, there are posts I make for clients that will be the same photo and caption across all of their social sites. I wish they didn't have to click through each social to approve the same post over and over and that there was just an "Approve across all platforms" option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Planable is helping me schedule all of my posts ahead of time so I don't need to manually post everyday. I run social media for 6 clients that all use more than one platform so it takes about an hour off of my day having to jump between each social site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

Planable.io is a game-changer for social media planning. One standout feature is the ability to preview posts exactly as they will appear on each platform, ensuring everything looks perfect before it goes live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

On the downside, Planable.io's pricing can be a bit steep for small businesses or solo marketers. While it covers major platforms, it lacks integrations with some niche ones, like NextDoor which could be limiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ensuring that posts appear correctly on various social media platforms can be challenging, leading to inconsistencies and formatting issues. The post preview feature in Planable.io shows exactly how content will look on each platform before it goes live. This ensures that posts are visually appealing and correctly formatted, maintaining a consistent and professional brand image. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

The perfect tool for content scheduling and approvals. It is not only easy to use from a marketing manager point of view, but also for the clients I work with. Having the automatic scheduling feature is an aboslute game changer too! Overall, really impressed with Planable and would recommend to friends, colleagues and marketing professionals! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

If I was to be super picky, I would say it would be nice to have 5 platforms on the basic plan and more labels too. But like I say, that's me being very picky! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It speeds up the process of content approvals, making my life easier when it comes to emails and keeping track of what content is ready to go and what needs improvement still.

The automatic scheduling also makes life a lot easier, I'm not having to take the content and directly upload the content to the platform or paying to use another platform to schedule the content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

It's very user-friendly. I love the ability to turn Sync On and Off as needed when scheduling multiple posts. The schedule feature is great to allow for bulk content for those days you are feeling inspired to write and write. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

No downsides to mention at this time. I love all of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Planable allows me to schedule posts across multiple platforms with ease. By turning the Sync feature off, I can add customizations to each of the platforms I am sending this post too. It's efficient so I save time creating batched content, which gives me freedom to focus on other areas of my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
