Contact sales to connect a profile with over 1 million followers or to test a more custom setup.Planable is priced per workspace, not per seat. Each workspace holds one brand or client, and every plan includes unlimited users: collaborators, reviewers, and clients can be added without increasing cost. Organizations scale by adding workspaces rather than licenses. Annual billing includes two months free on all plans and add-ons. Free trial 50 posts, with no time limit and no credit card required. The allowance is a total, not a monthly reset, so the trial ends when the 50th post is created rather than on a fixed date. X (Twitter) publishing is not available during the trial. The Analytics, Social Inbox, and Social Listening add-ons carry separate 30-day free trials on paid plans.

    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.

    Cons
    NapoleonCat
    • "Free Trial" functionality will actually charge users straight away depending on the trial button clicked
    • Changes to plan during a billing cycle are not refunded or credited in any way, including attempting to un-do the change. (So moving down and up again between plans, even if both actions occur within seconds of each other, results in getting charged twice...)

    It does what you need, but could have a bit more features for the price. $30 a month just to post things on Facebook or Instagram is a bit steep, given that that's all you can do.

    Over the course of our campaign, the team went out of their way to fix and correct glitches in the interface that I pointed out to them.

    Emailed them a month ago to add hashtags, but they didn't add the functionality yet. Given that the product has stayed exactly the same since, I'm guessing the developers don't want to add this feature so I give the support a rating of 1.

    Use this service instead... Far more transparent and also supports modern account security features like 2-factor authentication. (Lack of 2fa puts all social profiles in NepoleonCat at increased risk of being hijacked...)

    Cheaper, however, Kontentino does have the ability to save hashtags.
