Loomly vs Planable for Agencies

vs

Loomly walks you through making a post: a calendar of suggested ideas, optimization tips per network, and a mockup that shows how the post will look on each one before it goes through an approval round. It charges flat, quota-bundled tiers with no free plan, just a 15-day trial, and the jump from the $65 Starter to the $332 Beyond is steep.

Free plan

Planable for Agencies is the same Planable, framed for client work. Each client gets a workspace with its own pages and approval flow, comments sit inline on the post, and users are unlimited, so the whole team and the client can pile in at no extra cost. It's priced per workspace.

  • Custom pricing for 61+ social accounts
  • Unlimited users and calendars
  • Everything in Beyond, plus priority support and pricing at scale
  • Flat, quota-bundled tiers: each plan includes a fixed number of social accounts and users, and you move up a plan rather than buying accounts or seats one at a time. Loomly dropped its old four-tier lineup (Base, Standard, Advanced, Premium) for two paid plans plus Enterprise.
  • There is no free plan, only a 15-day free trial of the top features, no card required.
  • Annual billing is a flat 25% off: Starter works out to $49 a month ($588/yr) and Beyond to $249 ($2,988/yr).
  • The gap between Starter and Beyond is the main gripe: if you outgrow 12 accounts or 3 users there is no mid-tier and no a-la-carte top-up, so the next step is $332 a month.
  • Nonprofits get a 50% lifetime discount with documentation.
  • Prices are USD read off the live pricing page, which renders client-side; the page priced in USD when rendered here in Australia (Loomly does not geo-price), and the figures match current third-party listings. Monthly and annual numbers were read by toggling the billing switch.
