  • Custom pricing, for teams that need more than 5 workspaces

  • Multi-level approvals and List view
  • SSO, 24-month post storage, dedicated account manager
  • 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.

What it really costs

Planable charges per workspace, so the headline price is for one. Here is the monthly cost as you connect more, with the 3-workspace row marked as a realistic setup.
