Head to head

Planable vs X Pro

Last updated 4 June 2026

Planable

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

X Pro

X Pro is the rebuilt TweetDeck: a multi-column dashboard for power users on X, with post and thread scheduling, real-time search columns, and multi-account monitoring. As of 2026 it's locked behind X's $40-a-month Premium+ tier, which is the catch.

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.

X Pro

X Premium+

$40 /mo

$33/mo billed annually

Seats: 1
Accounts: Unlimited

X Pro is bundled with X Premium+ (about $40/mo, $395/yr)
Column-based decks, multi-account monitoring, post and thread scheduling
Access to multiple X accounts you control

X Pro isn't sold on its own. It used to come with the cheaper X Premium plan (around $8/mo), but in March 2026 X moved it behind the top X Premium+ tier, roughly $40 a month (about $395 a year), so the real cost of using X Pro is a Premium+ subscription.
It only manages X, so the value is entirely about how much you live on that one network.
X has signalled a replacement product may follow, so the access terms here may change.
