Head to head
OpenTweet vs Planable
Last updated 4 June 2026
OpenTweet is an X-only scheduler with a developer streak. It pairs a visual calendar and evergreen recycling with AI from several models, RSS and GitHub connectors, and a proper REST API and MCP server. It's cheap and capable, but only for X.

- $9.95 /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.

- Free plan

- 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.
