Verdict

Planable organizes content review by workspace. Pro is $59 per workspace monthly or $590 yearly, with required approval and 150 posts per month. Analytics is a separate per-workspace purchase, and public links allow comments rather than formal account-free approval.

Use one workspace per client when separating content and review access matters. A client can view and comment through a public link, but formal approval needs an account with permission. Pro provides required approval and optional locking after sign-off; verify how privileged users can unapprove or disable locks. Standard reporting requires the Analytics add-on, priced separately for every workspace. The free allowance lets you explore fifty total posts, but reporting trials require a paid base plan. Five Pro workspaces with Analytics therefore cost $365 monthly before tax under the worked scenario.

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

Per-workspace charges accumulate across clients
Reporting, inbox and listening can add per-workspace cost
Bluesky and Mastodon are not in the advertised publishing list
Recurring posts are not the same as a category-based evergreen queue

USD per workspace, with unlimited users. Basic is $39 monthly/$390 yearly; Pro $59 monthly/$590 yearly. Annual monthly equivalents are $32.50 and approximately $49.17.
The free allowance is 50 created posts total, without a reset when posts are deleted. X publishing is unavailable on the free allowance; Basic permits one tweet per 24 hours.
Analytics is $14/month or $140/year, Social Inbox $9/month or $90/year, and Social Listening $99/month or $990/year, each per workspace. Add-on trials require a paid base plan.
Enterprise entitlements require a quote: current official pages conflict on page limits and whether Analytics/Social Inbox are included. Volume discounts are advertised for five or more workspaces; do not assume a mandatory five-workspace ceiling.

What it really costs

Monthly cost by workspace count. Per-unit tiers grow with usage; flat tiers keep their whole-plan price within the published allowance, with the 3-workspace row marked as a realistic setup.
