Crowdfire vs Planable for Agencies

vs

Crowdfire's social media app shut down in 2025, so this is here for the record rather than as a recommendation. In its day it leaned on content curation, surfacing articles and images to share, plus scheduling, light analytics, and the follower management it started life with as JustUnfollow.

Free plan

Planable for Agencies is the same Planable, framed for client work. Each client gets a workspace with its own pages and approval flow, comments sit inline on the post, and users are unlimited, so the whole team and the client can pile in at no extra cost. It's priced per workspace.
