Feedly vs Post Planner

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.

Post Planner is a budget scheduler built around content discovery: it surfaces proven, high-engagement posts to share, lets you recycle your best content, and schedules to eight networks. Plans run from a free tier up to $57 a month on annual billing.

Bottom line

Feedly and Post Planner 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 Post Planner for Solo creators and small businesses on a tight budget.

  • 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.
