"Planoly for Social Media"

3/5

What do you like best about Planoly?

Planoly takes some of the hassles out of posting on Instagram. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planoly?

Planoly does not allow you to view your scheduled posts as images in a calendar view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planoly:

Planoly is a great tool for planning social media and sharing it with a team. It is easy to use and offers many features to help generate content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planoly solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can plan an entire month of posts on Planoly and I am also able to save groups of hashtags.

Being able to plan posts including the hashtags I plan to use in one app is helpful and saves me from having to toggle to another app to capture hashtags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the better Instagram Planners"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Planoly?

Ability to see the whole feed visually in order to keep the visual aesthetic of an account.

Auto-posting feature. Ability to save hashtags and title their groups.

Detailed analytics provided with each account.

Ability to add multiple Instagram accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planoly?

Inability to auto-post on stories.

Lack of feature for carousel posts, meaning adding several photos into one post for a swipe result.

The notifications are unreliable: for example, it would notify me to post a scheduled post a day later!

The extra fee for every single social account added - really adds up pricy.

Lack of emojis feature.

Lack of hashtag field research and search (like Tailwind's for example).

No feature to edit the text into bold of italics (again, like Tailwind). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planoly:

I believe it is a clean and good software to use for Instagram Feed planning, however, it still has quite a few hiccups and lack of features to make it the perfect one. It is mid-range pricing-wise, and it does offer free 1 personal account which is great if you're an individual. You do, however, need to pay quite a bit if you're either managing several accounts or are an agency. Overall, I can recommend it, but I would suggest researching around to make sure it is exactly what you're looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planoly solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am now able to plan out a feed a week ahead. The app will mostly auto-post my posts so I only need to tend to the instagram account a couple times a week and/or for engagement with other accounts. It also lets me plan out a beautiful feed, therefore making my branding more uniform and unique. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for content creators"

5/5

What do you like best about Planoly?

I LOVE that I can not only use this program on the phone, but that they have a fully functioning desktop version. I also love all the features including the newer stories edit. This takes it to a new level for me. I love all the templates and being able to schedule the stories if I need to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planoly?

I know that they have to limit the free accounts, but It would be nice if you could have a few more than 30 uploads a month. Sometimes I just want to upload photos and just see if they work and maybe that would be more than 30. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planoly:

I think that if you are looking for an all around tool to help you get your instgram account and even your pinterest accounts in order this is the program for you. It makes it easy to make a consistent feed. The desktop version is one of the best and very clean and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planoly solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to make sure that I can have a nice and clean feed. I also like the scheduling aspect so that I can plan ahead. I am also making it a point to use this to research other accounts and see where I need to approve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Experience with Planoly!"

5/5

What do you like best about Planoly?

I really love the ability to store hashtags and schedule my posts! It's so valuable to be able to plan and prepare for my social media content with a platform that is quick and easy to use! I also love that you can respond to comments and engage with your followers/commenters etc. directly from the platform. I've been a long time user of Planoly and have tried other softwares: ultimately I'll never go back! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planoly?

Honestly, there isn't much I dislike about Planoly. There definitely is a learning curve, as there is with most softwares, so I suppose that would be the main thing that would be a bit of a bummer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planoly:

There are lots of great scheduling platforms, but this one is forward thinking and does a great job working with instagrams rules! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planoly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Planoly helps me prepare for my social media content calendar and allows me to schedule, edit, and visually see my posts on my feed! One of my favorite things is to be able to see both the calendar and the visual of the feed at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Instagram Scheduling App"

5/5

What do you like best about Planoly?

Love that I can schedule posts via the grid view and see how things will be interacting with my current instagram feed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planoly?

Currently they don't allow you to schedule things to instagram stories. I've yet to find a scheduler on the market though that allows this. Even Facebook's own publisher doesn't allow scheduling story posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planoly:

It only takes a few minutes to get a good understanding of the user interface and understand how it all works. We exclusively use the web app version because we were looking for something that could allow us to monitor/post/schedule/curate our instagram feed from a computer, and this does all of that greatly. It's the cheapest option as far as paid plans go which is great, and the free version does a lot that most don't do, or even would allow you to do. It's worth getting, setting up and using. Especially if instagram is a large part of your business, this is worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planoly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps us to keep things consistent, publish the content we need to publish when we need to, and shows us a big picture of what we have coming up over the next few days/weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not the most intuitive"

3/5

What do you like best about Planoly?

The thingI love best about Planoly is that I can save a group of hashtags and add them all with the click of one button. I will also give them credit for the visual design of the GUI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planoly?

It's really not that intuitive to use, and I used to be a video editor and work with a lot of video, photo and graphics software. It was annoying that I had to use the app to upload multi-frame instagram posts. I would like to manage a whole process from one piece of equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planoly:

This is good for scheduling your posts for free but Loomly is easier to use if you can pay for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planoly solving and how is that benefiting you?

I only wanted to use a scheduler and I can't afford to subscribe to one yet, which is why I moved to Planoly. However, I've discovered how useful it is to be able to see the preview of the grid and how many likes and comments are one each image. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Planoly Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Planoly?

Planoly is easy to use. I was able to schedule posts effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planoly?

I feel that the free subscription is TOO limited, at the time I only had one Instagram client and felt it wasn't worth it to upgrade my account since I only had 1 account. I also thought it wasn't worthwhile to use Planoly then because you are limited to a certain number of scheduled posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, great for visualizing future posts and overall theme Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Planoly does most of the job you need - others are restricted by Instagram itself"

4/5

What do you like best about Planoly?

I like the fact that you can 'dump' all your images in one go, and decide which photo goes with which post later. They also have auto cropping which is useful when going for consistency, which is harder to do on the Instagram app itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planoly?

Planoly seems limited in its business intelligence, and can't do complex tasks such as post multiple photos or stories. This may be a restriction from Instagram itself. We only use Planoly for Instagram, since IG auto posts to FB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scheduling and Curating Made Easy"

5/5

What do you like best about Planoly?

I love how intuitive and easy to use Planoly is. I get to visually plan out my social media posts by dragging and dropping. Scheduling, reposting, and even automatic posting are all so easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planoly?

It's not the cheapest option out there, since the free plan has a monthly media upload limit, but the pros outweigh the cons for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planoly:

Take a few minutes to really learn all of the ins and outs of the the software. There are a lot of hidden features that really make life easier for a social media manager! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planoly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Does anyone actually remember to post every day? And if so, do they have something already in mind to say and share? Planoly lets me get ahead of schedule, think of posts in advance, and remind me to post (or just does it for me). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
