Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PLANOLY to plan our Instagram content. The grid feature on Planoly helps to see how the content will look visually before actually posting it on our page.

Pros

  • Grid view
  • AI Caption generator
  • Auto post feature

Cons

  • Free plan has very limited features
  • Paid plan is quite expensive
  • There is a restriction on number of posts we can schedule on grid which is very difficult because sometimes we might make changes and delete the posts we don`t like. The restriction on number of posts forces people to opt to paid plan.

Return on Investment

  • PLANOLY has been super helpful in planning our Instagram content.
  • The AI caption generator saves us a lot of time.
  • The integration with Instagram and auto post feature helps to plan and batch content and not worry about posting them constantly.
