Planable Review (2026)
Approval workflows and client collaboration.
From $11/mo · Free plan: yes · 10 platforms
What is Planable?
Planable is built around one insight: most social media pain isn't scheduling, it's getting content approved. Posts are composed in pixel-perfect previews that look exactly like the live platform, and teammates or clients comment, suggest edits, and approve right on the post. Approval can be one-click or multi-level, and nothing goes out without sign-off.
Once approved, Planable auto-publishes to all major networks including Reels, TikTok, and Google Business Profile. With a free plan (50 total posts) and paid plans from about $11 per user/month, it's the most affordable way for agencies to professionalize their client review process.

FAQ
What makes Planable different from Buffer or Hootsuite?
Approval. Planable is designed so clients and stakeholders review pixel-perfect post previews and approve in place. Scheduling tools treat approval as an afterthought; Planable treats it as the product.
Is Planable free?
There's a free plan with 50 total posts — effectively an extended trial of the full collaboration workflow. Paid plans start around $11 per user/month.
Does Planable auto-publish Instagram Reels?
Yes. Once approved, Reels (with custom covers), TikToks, and posts on all other supported networks publish automatically.
Can clients approve posts without a Planable account?
Yes — you can share view-and-approve links with external stakeholders so clients don't need to learn or pay for the tool.
