Head to head
NapoleonCat vs Planable
Last updated 4 June 2026
NapoleonCat is built around moderation: a unified inbox that pulls in comments, DMs, ad comments, and app-store reviews, with automation that can hide, delete, and auto-reply on its own. Publishing and reporting are solid too, and pricing starts at $79 a month for two users and five profiles, scaling as you add more.
- From
- $79 /mo
- 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.
- From
- $33 per workspace / mo
- Free plan
Bottom line
Planable is the pick for agencies and teams that need client sign-off before posting, and it's the only one of the two with a free plan. NapoleonCat fits brands fielding heavy comment, DM, and ad-comment volume better, and it adds competitor tracking that Planable leaves out.
Planable starts cheaper, $33 per workspace / mo against $79 a month for NapoleonCat. They bill on different units, so the real gap depends on how much you run. NapoleonCat brings competitor tracking that Planable skips, while Planable has visual feed planner NapoleonCat doesn't.

- 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.
