Planable
Collaboration-first social planning with multi-level approvals and Planable AI.
About
Planable is a social media management tool built around the team workflow that breaks simpler schedulers: collaboration and sign-off. Teams and clients draft, comment, annotate, and approve posts in one shared workspace, with four approval modes (none, optional, required, multi-level) and pixel-accurate previews of how each post will look on every connected channel.
Planable AI can generate captions, rewrite copy for a different network, or make text punchier, shorter, or longer, and an MCP connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini create and update drafts within the existing approval workflow. Plans start at $33 a month per workspace for Basic and $49 for Pro, with a free tier covering your first 50 posts; analytics and the social inbox are sold as add-ons.
