Bottom line
Pinterest scheduler is the pick for light pinners who want free scheduling. Planable fits agencies and teams that need client sign-off before posting better, and it reaches Instagram and Facebook among others, which Pinterest scheduler doesn't.
Pinterest scheduler is free, with no paid plan, and Planable has a free plan and paid plans from $32.50 per workspace a month, billed yearly. Planable adds social listening and a social inbox that Pinterest scheduler leaves out.

What it really costs
Monthly cost by workspace count. Per-unit tiers grow with usage; flat tiers keep their whole-plan price within the published allowance, with the 3-workspace row marked as a realistic setup.
| workspaces | Basic | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $39/mo | $59/mo |
| 3Typical | $117/mo | $177/mo |
| 5 | $195/mo | $295/mo |
| 10 | Exceeds plan capacity | Exceeds plan capacity |
| 25 | Exceeds plan capacity | Exceeds plan capacity |

Monthly billing. Volume discounts lower the per-workspace rate at higher counts. Annual billing takes about 2 months off.
