Head to head

Planoly vs Typefully

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.

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.
