Head to head
Feedly vs Post Planner
Last updated 4 June 2026
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.

- $6 /mo
- Free plan
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.

- $7 /mo
- Free plan
Bottom line
Feedly is the pick for social media managers who need a steady stream of content ideas, and it's the cheaper start, from $6 a month. Post Planner fits solo creators and small businesses on a tight budget better, and it reaches Instagram and Pinterest among others, which Feedly doesn't.
Feedly starts cheaper, $6 a month against $7 a month for Post Planner. Feedly brings social listening that Post Planner skips, while Post Planner has AI captions Feedly doesn't.

- 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.
