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.

We tried several tools, calendars, pltforms and there was always something big or lots of little things that didn't make it a good fot. Planable was easy to use with our social media manager right out of the gate. Approvals and reviews are very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

I love how simple and visual everything is. Being able to have different views and filter different social channels too is great. I also find it's the simplest way to upload to Pinterest! Directly on the platform is a bit fiddly, but this means I can do it super easily in bulk. Our previous scheduler was really difficult so I avoided it completely and left it to the team, but now I'm happy to dip into Planable every day because it's so simple to review! It took minutes to set up too, and we use it across a number of platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

I wish the media library was a little more intuitive with tags/filters for type of content. I would also like the notifications to be a little clearer on desktop, as it's hard to know what approvals are still outstanding if you don't approve them immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's way better for visual scheduling than anything I've used before, particularly with the calendar view and filtering in and out different platforms. I also like to drop a draft post in that we need to make content for still, as it again gives a good overview on the calendar and feed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planable?

We've used Buffer, Hootsuite, Monday, HeyOrca, SproutSocial, Loomly, and HubSpot to try and streamline our social media and none of them function as easily and seamlessly as Plannable does. We needed a platform that both our team and our clients could collaborate on to approve, comment, and upload content. But it doesn't stop there, we also wanted analytics for our clients to view at any time so we weren't wasting our time preparing reports every time they were requested. We have also had a lot of problems in the past with social media channels disconnecting frequently. It's happened with all of them including Plannable, but with Plannable it's really easy to re-connect. Overall, this has changed the game for our agency and given us back our time and its affordable for a small agency. We love it, and have already shown it to a few friends that also do marketing and they are considering it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Right now, I really don't have much I dislike about Planable. Maybe sometimes it glitches while you're in the middle of a post and you have to restart, but that doesn't happen super often, it usually pops back up. It would be cool if in the future there was a way to size down images right in plannable instead of having to save them down to a certain size first before uploading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's solving client collaboration and cost. Our clients love it and it's helping our workflow because of that. And the cost is pretty in line with other platforms that are mid level pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
