Planable Reviews & Product Details

As a freelance graphic designer, the user interface of any software I need to use is incredibly important to me. Planable's clean dashboard design with calendar view makes it a breeze for me to see my scheduled posts week by week, schedule new ones every five days, and easily drop in my content (reels, posts and stories) all in one go.

After trying several competitor platforms I can say without hesitation that Planable is superior because it WORKS. Every other platform I tried gave me frequent, generic error messages when trying to use its most basic functions, never the case with Planable.

The customer support team have been fast and helpful in the few instances where I have contacted them, and quickly understood my problem. They also don't waste unnecessary time verifying your identity like you might expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The inflexible pricing plans. As a freelancer I do not need the features which allow me to share scheduled posts with a team or client for feedback, or the ability to manage multiple channels/pages. I would happily forfeit those features if it meant a reduction in my monthly costs, which are quite substantial. Ideally I would only pay $10-15/month for the platform, (currently upwards of $30).

I love its clean, intuitive layout—it’s simple to use and easy to navigate. Creating and scheduling posts feels seamless, even if you're not super tech-savvy. With everything in one place, I spend less time organising and more time engaging meaningfully on each platform.

It’s a powerful tool for staying consistent, collaborating smoothly, and keeping your content strategy on track—without the chaos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found anything yet that I dislike that is not included in my plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the calendar view and being able to easily move my posts across the three main SM platforms that I use (FB, Insta, LinkedIn). I like being able to schedule a year ahead to remind myself of national dates. I enjoy the generated AI feature to help spark inspiration by suggestions ( I always make the copy my own, but it's a great starting point! ) . Lastly, and most important that sets planable apart from the other SM managing platforms is the target audience feature for FB. No other platform has this and its has boost my posts and followers organically & gradually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As much as I love planable, the cost for their basic plan increased substantially since 2023 that I can't recommend it to the small independent business who could really benefit from using this app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Planable makes working with my clients so much easier. I can schedule posts in advance, visualize the entire content plan, and collect feedback – all in one place. I especially appreciate the clean interface, the intuitive user experience, and the ability to leave comments on individual posts. It really streamlines collaboration and makes everything feel more professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some advanced features are only available in the higher-tier plans, which can be a bit limiting. Also, I’d love to see deeper integrations with Instagram, especially for scheduling Reels and Stories. Still, the benefits far outweigh these small drawbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of my favourite features of Planable is the "Workspaces". As an agency, I have multiple clients, and the Workspaces feature of Planable lets me create an individual Workspace for each of my clients and assign a specific person from that organisation as an Approver for the Workspace. This leads me to my next favourite feature of Planable. Planable allows you to add Clients of your Agency as Approvers in a Workspace, ensuring my clients can review and approve all content developed before publishing. Client Approvers are free users and don't increase your subscription pricing as well - A++ particularly love that! Having worked in various Marketing roles over my career and used alot of different Social Media Scheduling tools, and Planable has to be one of my absolute favourites. It's a great all-rounder with content creation, planning, scheduling and reporting (Analytics) tools. And for the price of the subscription, it really suits my business well. I'm a small Freelance Agency that wouldn't be able to justify the investment of other, more expensive tools, like Sprout Social or Brand Watch. Knowing how much in subscriptions I will be charged per workplace, also helps me with calculating pricing of my Social Media services and how much I need to incorporate in my service pricing to recoup the cost. Overall, I find the app super easy to learn and use, intuitive and just well thought out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've got to say, there's not much I don't like about Planable. There are some areas where I think it could expand on and improve. For example, the Analytics (reporting) tool could be more expansive with more reporting for my clients. The ability to export these reports out to White Label PDF Reports, with my logo would also be amazing. But for the price, the reporting is still decent. There could be some UX improvements made as well. For example, when uploading videos to posts Planable has a pop-up saying the video was successfully uploaded. But in a recent experience, I found out that you still need to wait after the message says "Uploaded" because the video still needs time to process in the background (particularly for LinkedIn). Mind you the experience composing and creating posts is star far superior, I believe, to the experiences I've had with other tools like Hootsuite and issues like that are ones that I can easily learn from and adapt to as "minor quirks", like any system will have.

As a solopreneur, what I enjoy the most about Planable is the client user portal and the approval process. These features make collaboration seamless, keeping everything organized in one place. My clients can easily review, provide feedback, and approve content without endless email chains or confusion. It saves me time, enhances transparency, and ensures content goes live smoothly. If you're managing multiple clients and need a structured workflow, Planable is a game-changer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there's not much I dislike about Planable. If I had to mention something, I’d love to see a dark mode option for a more comfortable viewing experience. Also, while I understand the challenges, it would be amazing if there were a way to select trending audio for Reels directly within the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is integrated and in one place and so easy to use! This is a perfect hub for a team with many stakeholders across content planning. The fact that we can schedule/ post to social directly from the tool is already incredible! Add the fact that we are able to create channels for emails, blogs, and broadcast planning, and you have my newest obsession!

Looking forward to being able to fully get our team working in the tool to streamline our workflows and feedback! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The limit of 150 posts per workspace is a bummer. In order to fully integrate our content workflow through the tool we would want to post all stories on Instagram from this tool, but since these are more frequent this capability is limited with a monthly post limit.

I also don't love that the tool auto groups certain posts (ie. email and blogs, or TikTok and Instagram) This has required me to split posts manually and utilize the valuable post quantity on posts I do not need. I would like this to be removed so any grouping would be manual rather than the system setting.

Lastly, it would be great to see paid post planning capabilities for social channels added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In our busy bookstore, Planable has transformed our social media strategy with its intuitive, visually engaging planning interface. The collaborative calendar lets us effortlessly schedule book releases, author events, and promotional campaigns while keeping our creative team aligned. Its seamless workflow and user-friendly design have made managing our online presence both fun and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although Planable greatly enhances our content planning, we occasionally notice minor delays in real-time updates during peak scheduling periods. Additionally, while the platform is robust, we would appreciate a few more customizable features tailored to the unique needs of niche businesses like bookstores. These small issues hardly detract from its overall value and effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a small business owner, Planable has been such an stress reliever. I have tried a variety of social media scheduling software and have dealt with channels getting disconnected, difficulty in attaching channels and flat out glitchy software. I switched to Planable about a year ago and it has been such a breath of fresh air. It's easy to use, glitch free and very well organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could have more social media posting options with all the new social options out there like BlueSky and Substack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Planable is incredibly easy to use and setup. The different profile views are great and the Calnder views on desktop and mobile make it super easy to plan and schedule content when you have a team of content creators. I would very highly recommend this software to any business or agency! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only thing I see is that the Analytics have been slightly inconsistent when viewing on the app and the exporting the PDF report. However, this could be due to the fact that my account is so new and I tried this feature immediately after purchasing my account. It's possible all of the profile info had not yet been fully scrapped at the time I tried pulling analytics reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
