LinkedIn post scheduling vs Planable

vs

LinkedIn now lets you schedule posts natively, free, from the post composer. It's the simplest way to queue a LinkedIn post in advance, and it does nothing beyond that, no calendar, no bulk scheduling, no editing a post once it's scheduled.

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.

Bottom line

LinkedIn post scheduling and Planable both cover the basics; the right one comes down to how you post. LinkedIn post scheduling is the stronger pick for LinkedIn-only users who just want to queue the occasional post; choose Planable for Agencies and teams that need client sign-off before posting.

  • 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.
