Planoly vs Sendible
Last updated 4 June 2026
vs
Planoly grew up as an Instagram feed planner and still leads with the visual side: drag posts around a grid preview until the profile looks right, then schedule them, with a link-in-bio page that can sell digital products. It publishes to eight networks and prices in flat plans from a free mobile tier to $47 a month.

- 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.
