Head to head

Planable vs Scheduler.social

vs

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.

From
$33 per workspace / mo
Free plan

Scheduler.social (listed here as Schedul) is a newer AI-first scheduler. It pairs a content calendar and approval workflows with AI that adapts a post per platform, and it's experimenting with AI 'marketing agents' that plan campaigns. It covers eight networks, with more coming.

  • 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.
