Head to head

Feedly vs Planable

vs

Feedly isn't a social media scheduler at all. It's a content-discovery and monitoring tool, an RSS reader with AI on top, that social media managers use to find and track content. To actually schedule, you pair it with a real scheduler.

From
$6 /mo
Free plan

A content-review tool first and a scheduler second, built around comments, approvals, and seeing exactly how a post will look before anyone signs off. It charges per workspace rather than per person, so the whole team can pile in at no extra cost.

From
$33 per workspace / mo
Free plan

Bottom line

Feedly and Planable both cover the basics; the right one comes down to how you post. Feedly is the stronger pick for Social media managers who need a steady stream of content ideas; choose Planable for Agencies and teams that need client sign-off before posting.

  • From about $1,600/mo, for team market and threat intelligence
  • Shared boards, team AI feeds, integrations
  • Feedly is a content reader and discovery tool, not a social scheduler. It does not schedule or auto-publish social posts; it surfaces content you can then share manually or push into a scheduler like Buffer or Hootsuite (often via Zapier), which means paying for two tools.
  • Plans: a free tier (100 sources), Pro at $6 a month on annual billing, Pro+ at $8.25 (adds Feedly AI / Leo), and an Enterprise market-intelligence plan from around $1,600 a month.
  • Prices are USD from current listings.
  • It's included here because social media managers use it to find and monitor content, not because it publishes.

  • Custom pricing, for teams that need more than 5 workspaces
  • 50 social pages per workspace, unlimited posts and campaigns
  • Multi-level approvals and List view
  • SSO, 24-month post storage, dedicated account manager
  • Priced per workspace, which is Planable's word for a brand or client: the headline $39 / $59 is for one workspace, and you pay again for each one you add, up to five before Enterprise. Users are unlimited on every plan.
  • Annual billing is two months free, so Basic works out to $33 a workspace each month ($390/yr) and Pro to $49 ($590/yr).
  • Two paid add-ons sit on top, also per workspace: Analytics at $14/mo and the Engagement social inbox at $9/mo, both about two months cheaper on annual.
  • The Free plan caps you at 50 posts for the life of the account rather than by time; after that you upgrade.
  • Prices are USD from the live pricing page, which renders client-side and defaulted to the annual figures here in Australia. The monthly numbers were read by toggling the billing switch and match current third-party listings.

  • Not a scheduler: no publishing, calendar, or auto-posting
  • Needs a separate tool (and often Zapier) to actually post
  • Enterprise market intelligence is expensive
  • Social 'sharing' is manual, one article at a time

Planable

  • Approval workflows, inline comments, and version history are the strongest part
  • Per-workspace pricing means unlimited users at no extra cost
  • Per-network previews in feed, grid, calendar, and list views
  • Free plan with no time limit, capped at 50 posts
  • Analytics and the social inbox cost extra per workspace
  • Per-workspace pricing adds up fast for agencies with many clients
