Planable Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

I’m using Planable for two projects right now, and the biggest advantage is how easy it is to organize and approve content. The calendar view gives a clear picture of all posts, the previews look accurate across platforms, and the collaboration with clients is smooth — comments, approvals, and edits happen in one place without confusion.

The only downside I’ve noticed is that sometimes I need more advanced customization for posts, especially when handling different formats for different platforms. It’s not a dealbreaker, but expanding those options would make the workflow even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy Planable's month overview setting because it allows me to see how my company's Instagram grid will begin to look like. I also enjoy Planable's approval buttons which makes it easier for my managers to get pinged rather than enforcing me to message my managers via our internal messaging system.

While I use Planable every day for my job, it is still very buggy and frustrating to use. The iPhone app works with very few successful run and constantly reloads on its own or won't view the posts at all. Planable's desktop app is the same--forces you to reload the app various times or fails to open at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Planable to coordinate and review social media content for internal communication campaigns and small marketing projects. The interface is very intuitive — it feels like a real social media feed, which makes previewing posts much easier before they go live. I especially like the approval workflow feature, which lets the team give feedback or approve posts directly without endless email threads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes loading times can be a bit slow when managing multiple brands or large content calendars. Also, the analytics are basic compared to more expensive tools, but for planning, scheduling, and collaboration, it works perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most is that this service truly saves me both time and money. It offers an affordable solution to what is usually a costly problem: maintaining consistent social media presence across multiple platforms. Without it, I would need to hire at least two people to handle this level of daily work. It's extremely user-friendly and Thats why I use it every week. My social media game is so on top now because Planable was very easy to integrate into my work flow. The customer services agents are very responsive, fast and efficient! Making this a very easy to implement UPGRADE into your social media game. I Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Any concerns I might have had are already being addressed, as they've shown they're committed to improving and adding new features. I appreciate that they're proactive in fixing or including anything I could mention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s genuinely easy to separate clients into workspaces. Mapping out a content plan is simple, and being able to shuffle posts around and see everything visually just works.

What still surprises me is how bad most other scheduling tools are at this. They overcomplicate basic things.

This ticks almost all the boxes for me.

It even handles Instagram scheduling for accounts that aren’t in Business Suite - a massive pain point with other tools that forced manual posting or sending everything to a phone for auto-post. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The payment plans are a little confusing and hard to manage as you grow with clients.

Not being able to show multipple platforms in a feed to send to clients is an issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Planable makes it easy to move content from one date to another. I like the way I can go to one place, review a social media content calendar, add my feedback, and approve by simply clicking a checkmark. This tool makes it smooth and easy to collaborate on social media content creation if you're a two person team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If your social media process includes more than one reviewer, you're going to run into problems. Our firm requires five people to approve a post before it goes online. We have strong regulations in our industry so we need someone from every department to sign off. Planable does not allow for multiple people to check whether they approve or not. So right now, our process is to have each person review and then type "approved" in the comment box on each post. When each person has done this, the social media specialist on our team can go through and click the check mark on each post releasing it for publishing. We've reached out to customer service at Planable about this issue and have been told that this is the only way we can manage our posts with multiple users. That is frustrating for our team who would rather just go in and click a check mark and move on when they review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Planable is great for working with clients to plan, manage and track their posts across all social media platforms. I love that clients can comment revisions directly on the post and see real-time updates as I make the corrections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found anything that I dislike. Its an expensive platform. I would like the option to view the instagram grid and drag and place post to make the grid visually pleasing. I know thats an option for higher paying plans but I already pay so much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
