LinkedIn post scheduling vs Planoly
Last updated 4 June 2026
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.

Planoly grew up as an Instagram feed planner and still leads with the visual side: drag posts around a grid preview until the profile looks right, then schedule them, with a link-in-bio page that can sell digital products. It publishes to eight networks and prices in flat plans from a free mobile tier to $47 a month.

Bottom line
LinkedIn post scheduling and Planoly 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 Planoly for Instagram-led creators who plan their grid visually.
