Planable Reviews & Product Details

Planable is easy to use both from a developer/social media manager perspective and from the client-side for approvals and edits. The different "views" make it easy to see exactly what posts will look like and it has every pre-planning option with flexibility to adjust the approval process for each client. I also like that the fees for use are based on each workspace and not on the number of individual users. This is especially helpful when there is a larger client team that all need eyes on the proposed content and editing/approval process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish they didn't send Planable promotional emails to users listed as a "client". I would prefer not muddying up their inboxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an Incredible time-saver. It's allowed us to service a lot more clients. It's extremely reliable and has all the features we need. It also eliminates possible errors in posting when you have multiple accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price is very high, but it's totally worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Planable is how easy it feels to use from day one. I manage social media for two very different brands, and having everything organized in a visual calendar just makes my life simpler. Being able to preview posts exactly as they’ll look before publishing gives me a lot more confidence when scheduling content.

I also really appreciate the commenting and approval system. Instead of chasing feedback through email or WhatsApp, everything stays in one place. It’s saved me time, reduced confusion, and honestly made the whole content process feel a lot smoother and more professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, my experience has been really positive. If I had to point out something small, it would be that sometimes updates or integrations with social networks take a bit of time to fully sync or reflect recent changes.

That said, it hasn’t been a real issue for me. It hasn’t disrupted my workflow, and the overall value I get from the platform easily makes up for those minor delays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Planable for writing social content for multiple clients, sharing for internal review, client review, and scheduling, all in one! It saves so much time and makes social media management smoother by having an all-in-one platform that's easy to use and accessible for everyone, internally and externally. I love that you can leave comments only your internal team can see, or public comments for your clients to see too. I like how Planable gives you the flexibility to choose between internal and public comments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the calendar interface were more responsive or flexible, to choose how much room each row on the calendar takes up. When I have different post variations for each platform, it makes the cells for those dates really large, which hinders how much of the overall month I can see. I wish I could change the settings for how large post previews are on the calendar interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the different views of the calendar in Planable. It's generally good and I appreciate how it links to Canva easily to import visuals. I also like the AI input on captions, which makes things much more manageable. Having all of this in one place is really valuable, instead of having to download Canva imagery and manually upload and type captions into social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't seem to post story content, or maybe I don't have the right plan. Our free plan limits the number of different platforms we can link, but I know we could upgrade when it's feasible for us. More content generation options perhaps within Planable instead of relying on my Canvas creations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Planable has become an essential part of my workflow as a freelance digital marketer. The Campaigns feature is a standout as it pulls every piece of a campaign into one clear, strategic view and makes reporting simple with built-in analytics. Scheduling content, collaborating with clients, and getting approvals is fast and intuitive, and the visual editor keeps everything organized. This is especially handy given Planable enables me to share and get approval for content outside of social media, including blog content, emails and newsletters, press releases, and more. Overall, Planable works for my current use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Planable generally doesn’t include deep social listening or advanced sentiment monitoring (tracking mentions across the web), which some larger enterprises might want. Pricing is also another factor. Pricing is per workspace or client/brand. Analytics and engagement are separate add-ons on top of the base price per workspace. Overall still a good value; just depends on your use case and number of workspaces required. Final Verdict: While analytics aren’t as deep as enterprise tools, Planable delivers exactly what freelancers and small teams need: clarity, speed, and a smooth, dependable content planning experience.

I like that I can plan out posts far in advance for the company. I like to drop in a bunch of posts at a time and then move them around based on what looks good in our grid. It is very simple to navigate so I can work on our social media whenever I have a bit of down time. Using planable is definitely what works best for our company.

I dislike how it sends a ping to my phone to upload a story. I would rather do everything on the computer. If it sends a ping then I might as well just make the story posts on my phone to begin with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It replaced so much of my manual content creation process between me and my team and our clients. There's no other software that lets you draft, approve, and schedule content on multiple platforms. We use Planable daily and set up our monthly campaigns with ease. It has saved us so much time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost structure is not my favorite because you have to pay per workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The design is very user-friendly and intuitive. The visual overview makes collaboration and feedback simple and efficient, which saves time and reduces friction in the workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can’t add content to the calendar without assigning a publish date, and already published content is mixed in with planned posts. This makes the calendar overview feel cluttered and makes it harder to categorize and organize content clearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate its ease of use. As a copywriter for a full-service marketing agency, Planable has streamlined the entire process for my clients, my team and myself, from drafting and approvals to scheduling.

Integration with Canva has also been very useful. Your team has also been very reliable and willing to work with our agency (TRIO) as we adopt this new system. My team and I use this platform every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Relying on push notifications for story scheduling is a bit of a challenge at the moment. It would be much more convenient to be able to have these go live straight from the app, though I understand the limitations. That said, we have had several instances of scheduling without a team member ever receiving the push notif for approval.

A stronger proofreading function would be a nice addition. In the past, we used to draft copy in a Word/Google Doc before scheduling on a third-party platform. I wish Planable had a "spell check" button available on the caption drafting screen to proofread posts right in the platform.

Also, would love a feature for "best time to post." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
