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?

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.

I don't like the week starting on Monday. I wished there was an option to switch the calendar view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

I enjoy how user-friendly it is. I wanted to use it so I wasn't sending files back and forth between myself and my boss. The AI caption features are also helpful especially when I am creatively blocked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

I'm not too fond of the payment structure or cost. I have one profile for myself that uses the perks of the subscription package and another profile I set up for my boss. They don't use any of the perks but I have to pay for both profiles. It is annoying, costly and discouraging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having the social posts in front of me on a calendar helps with planning from a visual aspect. Its also nice for my boss to be able to look and check easily and see what is planned, comment and approve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can schedule posts with collaborator requests! This was the bane of my life before using Planable - I could never really have a holiday.

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

I work for my client for two days per week.

What do you like best about Planable?

It is perhaps the most intuitive platform created. Also its pricing structure is so straightforward with some caveats. Now gives the option of paying monthly which has been beneficial. I use it both for business and academic purposes. It is also easy to receive support and communicate directly with the creators, and they actually listen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Well, there is little to say that I would not like because they are quick to implement feedback, for example the monthly option. Maybe, they could create a package, in-between the basic and the pro and the pro and Enterprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Well, scheduling and approvals for clients. It is also easy to visualise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

I love how easy it is to view content in different formats (grid view, calendar view etc), it makes it easy for me to navigate my content in a way that makes sense. The label feature has also been incredibly helpful, as I can easily and quickly identify campaigns I'm working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

I don't think you should have to pay extra for the analytics, this is an important feature of social media and is included with most other tools I've looked at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Helping me remain more consistent on social media Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love being able to put all my content in one place! From social media to newsletters and blogs, I can better manage my campaigns! Super easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I was able to directly integrate with my blog host and newsletter management platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am a small business owner so I need to be efficient with anything I'm doing. Planable helps me visualize campaigns and marketing strategies in one place. It's a must have for any business, in my opinion, but especially small business owners who need to work smart (and hard). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
