The best platform for content approval processes

Overall, Planable is a very clean, streamlined platform. I've tried several different social media management platforms and Planable has been the easiest to use. Features like easy content feedback & approvals and platform-specific content actually help streamline my social media management, rather than adding another program for me to juggle.

Ratings Breakdown

Functionality

Pros:

I love that Planable is incredibly flexible when you're managing several brands and several accounts. Being able to easily share content previews for approval, calendar views for different brands and/or platforms, etc. are exactly what I've been looking for in a social media management platform. The calendar view makes it easy to visually lay out my content for the month and make sure I'm posting regularly. The platform is very easy to use, which is great because I don't need to spend extra time teaching people how to use it or asking them to create an account when I send content for approval.

Cons:

I don't like the fact that analytics aren't included in the base plans. Analytics are the cornerstone of good social media management and strategy, and tucking that behind an extra paywall feels unnecessary, especially when the subscription prices are already in the higher range. I would've given this review 5 stars if analytics were included in the subscription plans.

Reasons for choosing Planable

(Buffer was chosen because the platform I was considering, Rella, is not listed) I like Planable's interface much more. Having a clean, seamless workspace is very important to me, especially when I'm managing the clutter of several accounts, so the minimalistic interface really appeals to me. Rella has similar key features I was looking for in a social media management platform (ability to manage several platforms at once, content feedback and approvals) but it didn't provide as much flexibility as Planable.

Reasons for switching to Planable

With the number of social media platforms I manage across 3 different brands, using Buffer was not practical with their pricing model. It also doesn't have a content feedback & approval process without requiring an account. Google Sheets was also too simple and didn't give me the flexibility view my content in different ways, like a calendar.

Pros:

I love the fact that our clients' have everything they need in one place! The ability to make notes internal, whilst allowing the clients' access to everything else, is something we have always struggled with, communication wise as agency. We also love the drafts for content creation, it makes it very easy for my team to plan the calendars in advance and gives the entire team visibility with no limitations on the number of members included in the cost of one workspace!

Cons:

I wish Planable would send notifications at the beginning of the day when there's posts scheduled to avoid any minor mistakes for triple checking.

Reasons for switching to Planable

Rella was too bulky for clients, and comments we always open to them.

Best Program For the Money

It is by far the best program for the money I have found. I highly recommend it, and it makes my job much easier.

Functionality

Pros:

I love the interface of Planable, it's clean, professional, and easy to use! My favorite part of the whole software is the shareable link without logins for my clients to see their content calendar. I work with larger organizations, and it makes it very helpful for them to be able to share links for single posts or the whole calendar if needed. There also isn't a charge for users, so I can bring my whole team on board to help.

Cons:

The analytics section requires an extra fee (though it is small), and I believe it should be included since it is a higher-cost program. Also, the analytics could include a few more metrics that would be beneficial. There is a charge per workspace and a post limit that could be hard for some larger agencies to afford. I only need 3 spaces, so I have no issue here.

Reasons for choosing Planable

This had the most features that fit my budget.

Reasons for switching to Planable

Easy, clear, and actually fun to use

Overall, Planable has been a very positive experience for me. It’s simple, effective, and has features that make managing social media a lot less stressful. By far one of the easiest tools I’ve used in this space.

Pros:

Planable was super easy for me to pick up the navigation is clear and simple, so I never felt overwhelmed figuring things out. For what it offers, the value is solid, especially since they let you use it for free at a minimal level, which is perfect for testing it out or keeping things light. I really like how all of my Facebook channels show up neatly on the left hand side of the dashboard, making it quick and hassle free to switch between accounts. The “Compose” feature is probably my favorite part it lets me create posts with just a click and the AI can even generate content and tags, which saves me so much time when I’m short on ideas. Once a post is ready, I have the option to publish it right away or schedule it for later and the scheduling feels reliable and keeps me organized. So far I’ve only used the free version, which has been more than enough for my light usage, but I can definitely see the paid plans being worth it for heavier posting.

Cons:

So far, nothing major. If I had to pick, I’d say I’d like to see more AI customization options, but that’s just a nice-to-have.

Reasons for switching to Planable

I think this program is a lot more easier to use.

Pros:

It's user-friendly, the layout and analytics are great, and I like that I can easily collaborate with clients.

Cons:

The app often glitches and crashes when I am trying to post stories to Instagram. And it's very expensive. I don't like having to pay for clients as additional users. I would prefer a bundle price that would allow me to add multiple clients to one account. Often, my clients will have a few team members who need to access the account, but it's costly to allow this.

Reasons for switching to Planable

Because of Planable's ability to add clients for collaboration and approvals.

Pros:

It is very easy, straight forward, no hidden tabs, has both calendar and feed view. Has approvals and comments also on a free version. Free version is great for 50 posts total, and 15/month free.

Cons:

Database of posts should be more practical. But in a form as is is also fine, just to store posts as retro data need some space. Agency management vs individual client makes a difference. A lot of content on several platforms is hard. But for <100 is okay.
