Verdict
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.
Planable starts from the review, not the post. You draft something, your teammates and the client leave comments right on it, it moves through an approval step you can set as loose or as strict as you like, and a version history keeps track of who changed what. Previews show each post the way it will actually appear on Instagram or LinkedIn, laid out as a feed, a grid, a calendar, or a list, which is the part clients tend to love. Pricing is per workspace with unlimited users, so a single brand pays a flat $39 or $59 a month no matter how many people touch the work, and an agency pays again for each client. Scheduling and publishing are solid and reach the nine big networks, though Bluesky and Mastodon are missing, and both analytics and a social inbox are paid add-ons rather than part of the core. If your bottleneck is getting sign-off without a pile of screenshots and email threads, this is the tool. If you mainly want deep reporting or a recycling engine that keeps the queue full on its own, look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
The good
- Approval workflows, inline comments, and version history are the strongest part
- Per-workspace pricing means unlimited users at no extra cost
- Per-network previews in feed, grid, calendar, and list views
- Free plan with no time limit, capped at 50 posts
The catch
- Analytics and the social inbox cost extra per workspace
- Per-workspace pricing adds up fast for agencies with many clients
- No Bluesky, Mastodon, or link-in-bio
- Reporting is light and there is no real evergreen recycling

- 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
