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.

PromoRepublic has moved upmarket to franchises and multi-location brands. The current plans, Build, Grow, and Enterprise, are quote-only, priced by location and feature scope, with no public price ladder.
It previously offered self-serve Small Business and Agency plans (around $49 and $79 a month); those are legacy and no longer the focus.
Social media management is one part of a wider local-marketing suite that also covers reviews, listings, local SEO, and a large customizable content and template library.
There's no free plan, only a 14-day trial.
Prices are USD; PromoRepublic doesn't publish a fixed price ladder, so the plans are quote-only here.
