About Planable
Planable is built around the approval process. Posts appear in a feed, calendar, grid or list view that closely mimics how they will look on each network, and teammates or clients can comment, suggest edits and approve directly on the post. Approval can be optional, single-step or multi-step, which is why agencies with demanding clients like it. It handles scheduling to the major networks, plus blog-style and other content types, and sells analytics, a social inbox and social listening as separately priced add-ons. Pricing is per workspace per month rather than per user, and every account starts with a limited number of free posts so you can try it without paying. The trade-off is that the core plan is mainly about creating and approving content; teams wanting deep reporting or engagement will pay extra or combine it with another tool. It runs in the browser with iOS and Android apps. It is owned by SE Ranking.
Best for: Agencies and teams whose biggest headache is getting posts reviewed and approved.
