The plan tiers mostly differ by moderation and automation depth: Pro adds the Social Inbox, Expert adds auto-moderation and sentiment analysis, and Enterprise adds AI Reply and API access.

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.
