"Finally we found you!"
What do you like best about Planable?

We love Planable because it lets us post to Pinterest and other platforms, is very affordable, has AI to help us write better content, and has excellent Customer Service. I have only had one issue since 2022, and they communicated with me and resolved the issue within 2 hours. I'm in the States, they are in Budapest, and this team is top-notch.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Planable supports many services, but it would be nice to support services such as Alignable, Nextdoor, and Tumblr. Also, I don't particularly appreciate that the bulk edit feature for list view is only available with the Enterprise Plan.

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

Planable is run by real people, each of whom I have come to know the name of. Planable is much more affordable than many other options, and it supports Pinterest, which many services still do not. I love the ability to schedule up to 30 posts at once, allowing me to arrange for unique holiday posts.

"My first experience with a social media planning tool"
What do you like best about Planable?

Everything is visible all at once. My favourite is the "calendar view". Also, help is available pretty quickly with the "chat" function. The whole layout is pretty easy to pick up and get used to. I have never tried other social media tools before but I have googled and checked out their websites etc and I think I'm still going to stick with Planable.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Can't sync or add music to social media posts yet, hopefully this will be changed soon.

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

To plan my social media posts and auto-posting with scheduled times. It also gives a clear view of every planned posts in its "calendar view", which makes things so much easier.

"I'm so glad I upgraded to Planable!"
What do you like best about Planable?

I like all the integrations Planable has. It's manage 5 social media accounts and Planable keeps everything in one place and I can create and schedule out socials in just a few clicks. It is such a time saver. Customer support has been quick and has resolved my issues thouroughly.

What do you dislike about Planable?

I wish I could have a standard schedule for each workspace, where I just create the content and it posts to the next slot that I have scheduled, rather than go in and pick a date for each post.

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

The previous scheduling software I was using had all kinds of glitches and errors. I was in need of new software and Planable is easy to use and no errors!

"Great App to manage social media posting"
What do you like best about Planable?

I am so grateful to have found Planable. I can spend a couple hours a week and schedule my posts on 3 platforms. No more daily struggle to post. I set it up and forget about it. Very easy to use. I plan my posting 2 weeks at a time and set it up. Their support has been very responsive and helpful.

What do you dislike about Planable?

I haven't found any downsides to using the app or the program on my computer.

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

Time, social media posting is time consuming, almost like having a 3rd job. Planable makes it easy and time efficient.

"Easy to use, Great tool to have"
What do you like best about Planable?

I'm on the free plan, which gives me 50 Free posts. I love Planable becuase s vey easy to use, u get the hang of it after the very firt post, and it posts across multiple platforms.

What do you dislike about Planable?

I didn't find anythig I dislike yet, but as soon as I do, I will re-submit my review.

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

I don't need to copy-paste or re-write y post for different social media platforms. As a company I look consistent. As a marketer I find it easy and quick to use, However as someone who started digital and social media only late, I would welcome some tips like if the sae post would work on all platforms or, should I differenciate the copy/content. I do know however this could be aduience-directed.

"Excellent experience"
What do you like best about Planable?

Being able to organize my content in the calendar view -- it gives me a comfortable visualization, and it helps me stay ahead of schedule.

What do you dislike about Planable?

I can't edit synced posts times, and the "copy to" feature is hidden; I'd enjoy it more if it were visible

"Best tool I tried"
What do you like best about Planable?

It does everything I need. We use it with our website https://thereach.ai/ and all the handles we have (FB, Insta, Linkedin) and it takes a few seconds to post on everything. It has an AI feature that can let you tweak the blurbs if you want.

What do you dislike about Planable?

It needs the ability to save hashtags. Some of the other tools offer this, so I emailed Planable and asked them to consider adding it.

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

Ability to post on any social media platform with 1 click. It adjusts layout for you, pictures, adding action butons etc.

"Easily accessible content planning platform"
What do you like best about Planable?

It is very intuitive to use, even if it is your first time on the platform. The label function makes organising content easier to view and to navigate.

What do you dislike about Planable?

The fact that there is no version history option available for the caption, if there are more users on the same account, someone can erase what the other person has already written, without being able to keep track of previous captions.

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

Content planning, scheduling and posting in a single app, reducing friction and having to switch between various applications for different tasks.

"Great Social Media Management Platform"
What do you like best about Planable?

We have only been using Planable for the past month, but I've got to say how pleased we are with it. It performs much better to other similar apps for Social Media Management. It's easy to schedule in advance, the sync feature is perfect and ideal for us, to ensure the same content is across our platforms. The AI feature is amazing, we use this all the time to increase the engagement of our posts. It's easy to write posts, but sometimes they get the same or boring, the AI feature allows the contect to be fresh, clean and different. I would highly reccomend anyone to use Planable, we wouldn't swap to any other app now we've found this!

What do you dislike about Planable?

I don't feel there is anything we dislike about Planable. It's easy to use and has all the features we're after. If I had to say one thing, when uploading images via the app (on a phone), sometimes it can take a while, despite having 4G/5G. Apart from that, I have no faults!

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

It is saving us hours a week by giving us the opportunity to schedule posts days, weeks and months in advance. The sync feature enables us to write one message, which is then posted across all social media channels.

"Game Changer!"
What do you like best about Planable?

It allows me to schedule Google Business Updates & Social Media posts at the same time days/weeks out.

What do you dislike about Planable?

there is a bit of a learning curve, but, overall it's pretty user friendly.

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

It allows me the opportunity to scale my services. Google in the past has been a manual update platform. This is very time-consuming when you have 75 accounts. Now I can schedule updates a month or more in advance. AI is also very helpful for industries that need more detailed posts.

"Planable has helped me be consistent on social media"
What do you like best about Planable?

What I like most about Planable is the ability to schedule posts far in advance. I had never been consistent with social media and felt like I couldn't spend much time on it, but with Planable, I schedule all my posts so they are batch created and prepared to fire off at the time I provide.

What do you dislike about Planable?

So far, I haven't found any downside to using Planable. It has been a great tool where I can plan out my social media campaign, schedule everything ahead of time and automate the process.

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

Planable is solving my problem of not being consistent with social media. It has been helpful with making sure I daily provide online content to my followers to experience more growth.

"I swear by Planable whenever I'm asked what's my fave social platform"
What do you like best about Planable?

There are a lot of paid tools out there, but often I decide to use the free app version connected to our Canva account as it's just free and still value-adding. But among the paid apps that I use, Planable is one of those apps I'm looking forward to renewing and upgrading from an entry-level paid app to more features. The app saves me overhead costs, with its annual fee cheaper than one social media person per month. It takes me a day to finish a batch of posts per month for 4 social platforms, so in a year, I practically use 12 days and up to set up my socials.

What do you dislike about Planable?

The manual posting of other content formats isn't very convenient for posts outside my sane working hours or time zone. I usually miss those posts in a couple of days since I'm doing things solo, when kids are sick, or when the family is on a holiday. I wish this could seamlessly posted when it needs to.

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

My pain point as a one-person team marketing person and a product developer is that I don't have time, and Planable takes away the pain of posting each time for each platform. It's beneficial to do it in 1 shot.

What do you like best about Planable?

This social media planner is so simple and packed with features!! It does the job so easily, and makes it super simple to connect and select your accounts.

What do you dislike about Planable?

I am having challenges editing my posts once they are scheduled, but that might just be a lack of knowledge on my part.

"Ditch the spreadsheet, go with Planable"
What do you like best about Planable?

The biggest upside for our agency using Planable is the polish of using a design and creative focused tool where we can collaborate with clients. It looks so much more professional than a simple spreadsheet.

What do you dislike about Planable?

The cost can add up quickly, if you're an agency that wants to onboard multiple clients and editors/reviewers.

Rather than collaborating on copy and design in a spreadsheet or over email with multiple stakeholders, we can do it in one place seamlessly.

What do you like best about Planable?

Planable is very helpful for our Thought Leadership LinkedIn program. I use the tool to craft my social posts for our Executives and they approve or not the post. I enjoy that I can have multiple profiles and the approval system. We don't have to send approval emails before publishing anymore. We save so much time.

"Less is more. Way more!"
What do you like best about Planable?

Ok, After trying and testing several tools to manage my account. I found Plannable. It offers simplicity to the task of programming your content with ease in great UI. If you are looking for something straightforward to accomplish your goals, give it a try.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Hopefully, they will continue to upgrade and improve it even more with tools like "Best time to post" and similar ones. That will improve a lot the overall experience.

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

I have a blog, and I'm starting my consultation practice as a Gestalt psychotherapist. Being able to program my content relieves me from being on the edge all the time posting. Plannable takes care of this easily.

"Up and running in no time!"
What do you like best about Planable?

We looked at and even signed up for a few other highly rated platforms. Planable was the next one on the list, and before we knew it we had 5 of our pages scheduled for the year. THIS was what we were looking for, something easy to navigate and simple to schedule. The price was a no-brainer.

What do you dislike about Planable?

Some of the settings around approvals are slightly confusing, but as we schedule and post more it will probably make more sense. The big ick is not being able to add another user included in the cost of our license, but no big deal.

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

We have two brands that need to stand alone but also support each other. This allows us to schedule out the baseline posts for the year and not worry about those. This saves us a TON of time not having to post different things on different pages. Do it all once, schedule it, and we're good to go! Many of the negative reviews that I read in the app store seem to have been addressed as I didn't experience the issues that weree mentioned, so that's good news!

"I really love Planable!"
What do you like best about Planable?

Grid view, the fact you can copy and paste from one social platform to another. The ease of scheduling and auto-publishing. I just found Planable really easy to use from the get-go. Other platforms have been not so user friendly.

What do you dislike about Planable?

The price. I do think it's good value but for me as a soloprenuer I don't need a lot of the features on Pro. But I really wanted access to the Grid View feature so had to upgrade to that package

"Super easy to use. Convenient that you can do everything from one platform"
What do you like best about Planable?

I am able to ad hashtags to the comment section. I can include emojis and I love that the platform gives you warnings when something is wrong with your file.

What do you dislike about Planable?

It would be awesome if they develop a hashtag tool to show you insights per hashtag.

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

It allows me to plan everything from one platform and is not so ridiculously expensive as Hootsuite and buffer.
