Planable vs Sendible
Last updated 4 June 2026

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.

- 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.

- Optional SSO, dedicated customer success, white label (from $790/mo with it)
- Flat, quota-bundled tiers: each of the five plans includes a fixed number of users (each user is also a separate calendar) and social profiles, and you move up a plan as you outgrow the quota rather than buying seats or profiles one at a time.
- You can also add a bundle of extra users and profiles without changing plan. On Creator a bundle is one more user and six more profiles for an extra $29 a month, taking the total to $58; the bundle size and price vary by plan.
- White labelling (your own branded dashboard and domain) is a paid add-on on Advanced and Enterprise. With it, Advanced starts at $315 a month and Enterprise at $790.
- There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial; no card to start, and you add one to keep going at the end.
- Annual billing is a flat 15% off, shown on the page as a 'save $X a year' figure, so Creator works out to about $25 a month, Scale to $170, and Enterprise to $638. Nonprofits get 15% off monthly or 25% off annual.
- Prices are USD read off the live pricing page, which renders client-side and defaults to USD with a currency selector (it does not geo-price to local currency). Monthly and annual figures were read by toggling the billing switch and cross-checked against current third-party 2026 listings.
