    Additional DetailsPlanable 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. Basic — $39 per workspace per month Entry plan for small teams with straightforward review needs. 60 posts per workspace per month 4 social pages per workspace Unlimited users 2 approval types: none and optional Feed and Calendar views 3 campaigns per workspace 10GB media storage 13 months of published post storage MCP connector included Optional approval means a post can be approved but does not have to be before it publishes. Teams that need publishing blocked until sign-off require Pro. Pro — $59 per workspace per month Most common plan for agencies and in-house teams running client or stakeholder approval. Everything in Basic, plus: 150 posts per workspace per month 10 social pages per workspace Required approval, in addition to none and optional — content cannot be scheduled or published until at least one approver signs off Grid view, in addition to Feed and Calendar 10 campaigns per workspace 50GB media storage Public API access Chat support Enterprise — custom pricing For organizations with formal review chains, multiple brands, or procurement and security requirements. Everything in Pro, plus: Unlimited posts Multi-level approvals: sequential stages with designated approvers at each one List view, in addition to Feed, Calendar, and Grid Unlimited campaigns 100GB media storage 24 months of published post storage SSO Dedicated account manager and priority support Payment by bank or wire transfer Add-Ons Add-ons are priced per workspace and available on any plan, including Basic. They are enabled per workspace rather than account-wide, so an agency can run Analytics on client workspaces that pay for reporting without buying it across the board. Analytics — $14 per workspace per month, or $140 per year. Cross-channel performance data, audience insights, custom reports, and Competitor Analytics. 30-day free trial. Social Inbox — $9 per workspace per month, or $90 per year. Comments and direct messages from connected channels in one inbox, with AI reply drafting. 30-day free trial. Social Listening — $99 per workspace per month, or $990 per year. Brand, competitor, and topic monitoring across eight sources with sentiment analysis and alerts. Includes 1 brand keyword, 3 topic keywords, and 3 competitor keywords per workspace. 30-day free trial. What drives cost Three variables determine spend: the number of workspaces, the monthly post volume per workspace, and which add-ons are enabled per workspace. Team size does not affect price on any plan. Planable also offers bundled discounts with SE Ranking for SEO and SE Visible for AI search visibility.—

    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.

    Tracx
    Tracx is best for influencer marketing tracking, where you need to track specific mentions of a keyword from specific people. Not sure it's the 100% solution for other social media aspects, but I have not explored many of those aspects, so I cannot be the end-all-be-all person to say when it isn't well suited

    Tracx
    • Tracx is a little slow to pull in data. It could be a lot better although I understand it's pulling in a lot of metadata which other platforms don't pull.
    • Tracx is not "real time", some of the sources take a little more time to get pulled in although I understand this is probably an API issue on the social network side.

    Tracx is a solid software for identifying customer sentiment that would otherwise go unheard and undocumented by our company. We're able to report to our CEO the good and the bad with actual data and do so on an attractive interface. It is also essential in helping us prepare queries well in advance.

    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.

    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.
