MeetEdgar vs Planoly
Last updated 4 June 2026
MeetEdgar more or less invented category-based evergreen recycling: you sort posts into buckets, set a weekly schedule, and it reshares from those buckets forever so the queue never empties. It's a focused tool with two flat plans, no free tier, and a 30-day trial.

Bottom line
Planoly is the pick for Instagram-led creators who plan their grid visually, and it's the only one of the two with a free scheduling plan. MeetEdgar fits creators and small businesses with a backlog of evergreen content better, and it reaches Google Business and Bluesky, which Planoly doesn't.
MeetEdgar starts at $24.91 a month, billed yearly, and Planoly has a free plan and paid plans from $14 a month, billed yearly. Planoly adds a visual feed planner and a link-in-bio page that MeetEdgar leaves out.
