My overall experience was great, I loved the platform #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Beautiful platform, easy to use one of the best products #### Cons I could not post to Instagram without linking your Facebook page, almost all platforms have this issue --- ### Simple and feature rich - Odd post amount limitation - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Chris R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: November 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall pretty good, support was always responsive and helpful, I moved to Sprout but I wish I had stayed with Planable and given it more of a chance #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Relatively simple and easy to use, unlimited user accounts and easy approval process included in the subscription. #### Cons I didn’t like the way there is a limitation on the number of “posts” you can make. And the posts are multiplied but the number of channels you use. Also a “post” is deducted even when you create a draft, regardless of whether the post actually goes live. #### Reasons for switching to Planable I needed a platform with more features for posting content, such as pushing content to a phone to post direct to a social platform --- ### Best way to plan your content - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: José Antonio S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It's been great, my clients love it, my team loves it, I love it. What else can I say? #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It improved my approval workflow as it was a complete mess to keep track of everything via email, sheets, etc. This is a real problem solver, and it does it in a really fancy way. #### Cons The instagram publishing is via notification via de app, not direct publishing. --- ### Social Media Management Made Easy! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Stefanie D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Mental Health Care - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I love it! So easy to use, easy to learn! I love the options for scheduling! It actually helps make my marketing tasks on social media more enjoyable as well! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love that I can manage all my social media content in one place and it's easy to use! #### Cons I didn't like that I had to create a facebook page in order to link my instagram account. I don't use facebook so it was just a hassle because I had to go out of my way to create a facebook page just so my business instagram page could be linked, since instagram is owned by facebook. #### Reasons for choosing Planable The price was a better bang for my buck and I was already comfortable with planable so didn't want to have to learn a new software. Also, my business coach highly recommended planable. --- ### Great Visual Look When Planning Out Content; Stinks with IG Scheduling - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: MICHAEL S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Broadcast Media - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It was really great until the Instagram snag. So many other social media schedulers are offering IG scheduling that Planable seems a little disappointing now, even though I really like their interface and visual components. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros I really love the visual look of this software compared to Buffer or Hootsuite. When you plan out your SM content, it takes you to a page that looks like your social media profiles complete with a cover photo. You can also add team members to your account and even allow your clients (if you have clients) to overlook the scheduled posts before they're published with limited account access. #### Cons The Instagram scheduling hands down. They now have a feature that you can connect a Buffer account to your Planable to post to your IG feed that way (can we say cumbersome?), but I've ran into too many issues with this...plus, you're limited to only several accounts...Unless you want to pay Buffer for an upgrade and then, what's the point of paying for Planable? If you publish to a number of IG accounts, this is a huge drawback. Not to mention, even the limit I was stuck with had problems with scheduling. I've since had to go elsewhere for scheduling to IG. #### Reasons for choosing Planable I'm actually using Social Champ a little more now. Their interface isn't quite as nice, but they are awesome with IG scheduling and even Pinterest scheduling--a HUGE score for us! If Planable does better with these options, I'll start using them again. #### Reasons for switching to Planable Pricing #### Vendor response Hey Michael, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We've implemented Instagram direct publishing earlier this year, in January, and you can now publish the same posts you would through Buffer directly through Planable. As long as you have an Instagram Business account linked to a Facebook page, you can easily "authorize" any Instagram page you previously connected in Planable and you'll be able to directly publish posts. You can read more about this here: https://help.planable.io/en/articles/4842200-instagram-publishing Please reach out to us in the chat in the app or at hello@planable.io if you need any assistance setting things up. As for Pinterest, it's definitely one of the platforms we're considering adding some time in the future. Replied July 2021 --- ### BYNK Planable Review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Kate C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall Planable has definitely streamlined our approval process with clients. It is very easy to use, however, it is expensive considering that it doesn't have strong posting capabilities and there are glitches in how we view/post. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I love this software for its team collaboration capabilities. We manage social for clients and this makes it extremely easy to get feedback and edits on posts. It is very straight forward to use and we love that there are multiple ways to view your feed, especially flipping between calendar and grid! #### Cons There are a few key areas I think could definitely be improved. 1. The posting capabilities of Planable are very limited. With our previous app, we were able to schedule images, videos and carousels to go up automatically. We did have to manually set up reels, but the notification system worked well, where as with Planable, there have been occasions that we did not receive a notification and our post failed to go up(for carousels and reels) and sometimes even regular images that are not 1x1 format are sent through push notification rather than automatically posted. 2. I also think it would be great to be able to upload multi slide stories (similar to how you show a carousel). We are unable to add stories for approval through Planable because since you can only upload one slide at a time, we can't ensure it is in the right order. 3. Lastly, we have had some viewing issues when using Planable. For some reason, when using Chrome, our grid view is out of order, with Safari it is fine. Also through the mobile app, it reverses the order so new posts in grid view appear at the top, rather than following from the bottom. #### Reasons for switching to Planable We made the switch due to the team collaboration opportunities Planable offers. We do prefer the posting capabilities of Sked. #### Vendor response Hey Kate! Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with other interested users. We're always looking to improve the overall experience in Planable, for example, the way to create and plan stories. All the while keeping our focus on making social media collaboration as easy and seamless as possible. Regarding the grid view, that can easily be set from the "Filter & Sort" option. Checking "Last Scheduled" will arrange them in the same way as they appear on Instagram. Replied May 2021 --- ### A premium service, but well worth the cost! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sarah E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It's a huge time saver for posting. Much easier to write out copy and go make editing updates before they go live. And the user interface is so much more visual, cleaner and simpler than any other software platforms I've used for this before. There are a ton of options how to view your feed ahead of time. I also love the comment feature with colleagues - although I personally don't have a use for it, it's great to know I've got it. I had to reach out to support twice and both times they were beyond helpful and responsive. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love the UI of viewing the platforms in grid, feed or calendar. It makes it SO easy to visualize your feed a few weeks at a time and the software is very intuitive and user-friendly. #### Cons I would love if it was easier to add and drop different platforms after they've been scheduled. Versus having to repost or compose again. For instance, if you posted to LinkedIn and Instagram and wanted to go in later and add Facebook, it would be great to hit a plus button and be done with it! I had to unlink and re-link our FB account to Plannable due to a FB page error and I lost all of the 20-30 pre-planned FB posts, it wasn't so easy to get them back without re-work. #### Reasons for choosing Planable The ease of use of Plannable, the visual layout, and all the options that make life easier. Plannable is a higher cost as we live in Canada and the exchange rate adds approx $20-25 to every bill. But its been worth the rate so far. #### Reasons for switching to Planable The ease of use of Plannable, the visual layout, and all the options that make life easier. --- ### Great Tool, Still room to grow. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Oswaldo A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Exclent interface, easy to deploy, Excelent iOS app that brings the flexibility to us as agency and to our clients to communicate or approve future post. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The great implementation of scheduling post on social media channels, the great look and feel, and the app is well build. Great tool overall #### Cons One of the things that keep me for paying for planable at first when I use the trial is the lack of a report tool and not able to post to Google Business, this are the features that we need, I know that planable has been focusing on great schedule, aproval and publishing, but having the same level of report and adding Google busines would be great for us as clients. Also not able to have some small tools to repost some publication not just one time. #### Reasons for choosing Planable The great experience to work schedule posts, the easy way to communicate, the great handle of files, great experience with the mobile app. We really need a tool that can help us with report and also that gives us the oportunity to post to Google Business, we hope that you can implement soon this options. Google business would be great to have it first. #### Reasons for switching to Planable CS had a problem with their iOS App, it didn't show any post scheduled and it appear to us that it was not in their radar until we sent the email asking for the problem. We choose CS over planable that moment because they have report and we can publish to Google Business. --- ### My clients love it - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Waseem S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Account manager support was vital in ensuring a smooth experience and has been a pleasure. The cost is far outweighed by the ease of use and functionality that it brings to both company users and clients. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Workspaces have no limit on social media accounts connected to them. Allowing for true flexibility when handling client accounts. #### Cons Currently limited in social media platforms. The addition of Pinterest is definitely needed. #### Reasons for choosing Planable For client flexibility and user account flexibility. Easy overview for all parties involved. Clients loved the workspace #### Reasons for switching to Planable Poor technical service and limited functionality --- ### Easy, smooth & perfect app for scheduling! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Zina S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Luxury Goods & Jewelry - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered An amazing and smooth experience, I would recommend it to social media agencies that have many accounts #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros How easy and user friendly it is! I feel so organized when I use it. And it is very quick to learn on it. Connecting your pages is so easy and so not complicated like other apps. #### Cons I don't like that I need to manually post Instagram stories, I wish they can upload on their own like posts #### Vendor response Hey Zina, stories can be published automatically if you don't want to add any music or stickers to them. Be sure to check your Instagram page settings in Planable to enable the auto-publish option. https://help.planable.io/hc/en-us/articles/21715286046364-How-to-enable-or-disable-Instagram-direct-publishing Replied December 2025 --- Showing 1 - 10 of 326 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/planable-profile/reviews/) ## Planable Popular Comparisons [Vista Social vs Planable](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/planable-profile/vs/vista-social/)[Publer vs Planable](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/planable-profile/vs/publer/)[Instagram vs Planable](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/instagram-profile/vs/planable/)[Zoho Social vs Planable](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/planable-profile/vs/zoho-social/)[Hootsuite vs Planable](https://www.softwareadvice.com/collaboration/hootsuite-profile/vs/planable/)[Buffer vs Planable](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/buffer-profile/vs/planable/)[Loomly vs Planable](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/loomly-profile/vs/planable/)[Asana vs Planable](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/asana-profile/vs/planable/)[monday.com AI Work Platform vs Planable](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/monday-com-profile/vs/planable/)[ContentStudio vs Planable](https://www.softwareadvice.com/cms/contentstudio-profile/vs/planable/)[Sprout Social vs Planable](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/planable-profile/vs/sprout-social/)[SocialPilot vs Planable](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/planable-profile/vs/socialpilot/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/planable-profile/alternatives/) ## Other Top Recommended Social Media Management Software [HubSpot Marketing Hub](https://www.softwareadvice.com/product/119437-HubSpot-Marketing/) **4.5** (6254) Recently recommended **10** times [emfluence Marketing Platform](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/emfluence-profile/) **4.7** (51) Recently recommended **4** times [DivvyHQ](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing-planning/divvyhq-profile/) **4.2** (63) Recently recommended **1** times [Asana](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/asana-profile/) **4.5** (13675) Recently recommended **0** times Stuck Between Options?
