What is Planable?
Planable is a social media collaboration and planning platform that lets teams create, review, approve and schedule content in one place. Posts appear as realistic previews in feed, calendar, grid or list views, and reviewers can leave comments, suggestions and annotations directly on them. Approval flows range from optional sign-off to required and multi-level approvals.
Planable schedules to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads and Google Business Profile, and it also handles universal content such as newsletters, blogs and ads. Pricing is per workspace with unlimited users, which suits agencies that invite many clients. Analytics, a social inbox and social listening are sold as add-ons. Planable is now part of SE Ranking.
Planable at a glance
How does Planable work?
- Set up workspaces
Create a workspace for each brand or client and connect its social pages. Pricing is per workspace, so each brand you add raises the bill.
- Create posts
Write posts with AI help and see pixel-like previews for each network. Labels and campaigns help group posts by content pillar.
- Collect feedback
Teammates and clients comment, suggest edits and approve through the chosen approval flow. Outside reviewers can use one-time links without joining the workspace.
- Schedule and measure
Approved posts publish on schedule, and the analytics add-on tracks results. Add-ons such as the social inbox also cover comments on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok.
Planable key features
Multiple views
Feed, calendar, Instagram grid and list views help teams plan from different angles. Bulk actions let you approve, schedule, delete or duplicate many posts at once.
Approval workflows
Optional, required and multi-level approvals depending on plan. Enterprise supports multi-level sign-off chains.
In-context comments
Public or private comments, suggestions and annotations on each post, plus one-time links for outside reviewers.
Universal content
Plan non-social work such as blogs, newsletters and ads in the same workspace. This keeps review of blogs and newsletters in the same flow as social posts.
Campaigns and labels
Group posts by campaign or content pillar for easier planning. Basic allows 3 campaigns and Pro allows 10.
Version history
Keeps earlier versions of posts for one week on Basic and up to unlimited on Enterprise.
Add-ons
Analytics, social inbox and social listening can be added per workspace, each with a 30-day trial. Analytics and inbox are included on Enterprise.
Public API and MCP
An MCP connector is available on all plans, and Pro and Enterprise add a public API for custom workflows.
Why use Planable?

- Multi-level approvals suit regulated or large teams. Teams can require one or several sign-offs before publishing.
