Head to head
Planoly vs Typefully
Last updated 4 June 2026
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.

- $14 /mo
- Free plan
Typefully is a writing-first tool for the text platforms. It's the go-to for drafting and scheduling X threads, and now LinkedIn, Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon too, with a clean editor and genuinely good AI writing. It's priced per social set and ignores the visual networks entirely.
- From
- $12.5 per social set / mo
- Free plan
Bottom line
Typefully is the pick for writers, founders, and creators focused on X and LinkedIn, and it's the cheaper start, from $12.5 per social set / mo. Planoly fits Instagram-led creators who plan their grid visually better, and it reaches Instagram and TikTok among others, which Typefully doesn't.
Typefully starts cheaper, $12.5 per social set / mo against $14 a month for Planoly. They bill on different units, so the real gap depends on how much you run. Planoly adds social inbox and link in bio that Typefully leaves out.
