Planable Pricing: How Much Planable Costs Per Workspace

How much does Planable cost?

Read off planable.io in August 2026, Planable costs $39 a workspace a month for Basic and $59 a workspace a month for Pro billed monthly, or $33 and $49 a workspace a month billed annually. Enterprise is quoted. Every plan includes unlimited users, and analytics and the social inbox are paid add-ons at $14 and $9 a workspace a month.

Those five numbers are on every comparison page. What is not on any of them is the constraint that actually decides whether Planable fits: it is the only mainstream social tool that caps the number of posts you can create, and on both paid tiers that cap works out to the same 15 posts per connected page per month. This article works through the arithmetic using figures pulled from Planable's own pricing markup and its own machine-readable pricing file, not from a roundup.

Planable pricing plans in plain terms

Three plans. The unit Planable charges for is a workspace, which holds one brand or one client, and the number of people using it never changes the price.

Prices are in US dollars and exclude sales tax. Volume discounts are available once you need more than five workspaces, which Planable handles through sales rather than publishing a rate, so the list figures above are a ceiling for larger agencies rather than a final quote.

What is a workspace in Planable?

A workspace is one dedicated space for a single client, brand or location. It holds that brand's connected pages, its calendar, its campaigns, its collaborators and its approval flow, and nothing crosses between workspaces. Planable's own guidance is one workspace per brand or client, so an agency with five clients buys five workspaces.

This is the part that makes Planable cheap or expensive depending on which way your business grows. If your headcount grows, Planable is the cheapest option in its category, because unlimited users is not a top-tier perk here, it is on the $39 plan. Add a strategist, two writers, a designer and three client-side approvers and the invoice does not move. Almost every rival would charge for at least some of those logins: Sprout Social and Hootsuite bill per seat outright, and SocialBee includes a single user on both of its cheapest plans.

If your client list grows instead, the maths inverts. Every new client is a full plan price again. Ten clients on Pro billed annually is $490 a month, and that is before either add-on.

The Planable post limit nobody mentions

Planable caps how many posts you can create per workspace per month. Basic allows 60, Pro allows 150, Enterprise is unlimited, and the counter resets on the first of each month. No other tool covered in this series meters content this way, and it is the single most decision relevant number on the page.

Divide the cap by the pages it has to cover and something striking falls out.

Basic and Pro land on exactly the same ratio. Fifteen posts per page per month is one post every second day, on every plan you can actually buy off the website. Upgrading from Basic to Pro does not buy you a higher posting frequency, it buys you more pages at the same frequency.

If you want to post once a day on every page you have connected, Basic needs 120 posts against its 60, and Pro needs 300 against its 150. Both paid tiers are exactly a factor of two short of daily posting. That is worth knowing before you pick a plan on page count alone, because page count is the number the pricing table leads with and posting frequency is the number your calendar actually runs on.

One more cap sits underneath it. On Basic, Planable publishes a maximum of one tweet per 24 hours. Pro and Enterprise are unlimited. So a $39 plan tops out at roughly 30 tweets a month, and those 30 tweets also consume half of the 60-post allowance for that workspace.

Does Planable really give you two months free on annual billing?

The toggle says "2 months free", which means paying for ten months and getting twelve, a 16.67 percent discount. Run it against the four things Planable actually sells and you get four different answers, and only one of them matches the badge.

Ten months of Basic at $39 would be $390 a year, or $32.50 a month. Planable's pricing page displays $33 and its structured data lists $33, which annualizes to $396. Planable's own machine-readable pricing file quotes the $32.50 figure instead, so the two things Planable publishes about the same plan disagree by 50 cents a month. Several comparison sites have picked up the $390 figure. Check what your invoice actually says before you budget on either number, and if you are running ten workspaces, the difference between the two is $60 a year.

The add-ons are the more useful half of this table. An annual discount that is shallower on add-ons than on base plans means the more of your bill sits in add-ons, the less your annual commitment is really worth. Nobody publishes those two add-on discount rates at all.

How much do the Planable add-ons cost?

Two add-ons, both priced per workspace, both available on any paid plan, and both switchable on and off per workspace so you can buy analytics for the client who asks for reports and skip it for the one who does not.

• Analytics, $14 a workspace a month ($12 annually). Cross-channel stats, page-level insights, post-level metrics, audience insights, best time to post, and custom client-ready reports.
• Social inbox, $9 a workspace a month ($7.50 annually). A unified inbox for comments and DMs, AI-generated reply suggestions, sentiment sorting and conversation statuses.

Each add-on includes its own 30-day trial once you are on a paid plan. Note what that sentence implies: you cannot evaluate either one during the free trial, so the first time you can judge whether the analytics are worth $14 is after you have already started paying for a workspace.

The add-on tax lands unevenly. Both add-ons on Basic is $23 on top of $39, which is 59 percent added to the plan. Both on Pro is $23 on top of $59, or 39 percent. So the cheaper plan carries the heavier proportional surcharge, and a fully loaded Basic workspace at $62 a month costs more than a bare Pro workspace at $59 while giving you 6 fewer pages and 90 fewer posts. If you know you want analytics, Pro is the better starting point even on pure arithmetic.

Is Planable free?

There is a free tier, but it is a trial measured in posts rather than in days. You get 50 posts total across all channels, with no time limit and no credit card. The 50 does not reset monthly, so once you have used them you either upgrade or stop.

Two limits matter during that trial. X publishing is not available at all, so if X is a channel you care about you cannot test the thing you came to test. And neither add-on can be enabled until a paid plan is active. On the other hand, unlimited users applies during the trial too, so you can bring the whole team and a client into the review flow before spending anything, which is a genuinely generous way to run a trial and better than a 14-day clock for teams that evaluate slowly.

What does Planable cost for an agency with five clients?

Five clients is five workspaces. Here is what that invoice looks like on annual billing, before any volume discount.

Billed monthly rather than annually, that last row is $410 a month, or $4,920 a year. Five workspaces is also exactly the point where Planable invites you to ask for a volume discount, so an agency at this size should be talking to sales rather than paying list.

Per unit, Pro is the better buy on every measure. Annually it is $4.90 a page a month against Basic's $8.25, and 33 cents a post against Basic's 55 cents. Basic is not a small-agency plan so much as the plan you outgrow, and the numbers say you outgrow it immediately.

How Planable compares on entry price

The fair way to compare per-workspace pricing against per-channel and per-seat pricing is to fix the scenario. Take one brand, four social accounts, one person, monthly billing, and see what each tool charges. Every figure below was verified first-hand on the vendor's own pricing page.

Planable is the most expensive entry point in that group and the only one that meters posts. Sendible's Core plan is the closest structural match, since it also prices per workspace and also includes unlimited users, and it is $4 cheaper for two more profiles with no posting cap. On raw capacity per dollar, Planable loses this table outright.

It does not follow that Planable is overpriced, because the table measures the wrong thing for its buyer. Nobody chooses Planable for capacity. They choose it because client review and approval is the bottleneck, and Planable is built around that: content is laid out the way it will look when published, clients comment directly on the post rather than in a spreadsheet, and approvals can be optional on Basic, required on Pro, or stacked into multi-level chains on Enterprise so a post moves from team lead to client to legal in order. If two rounds of feedback per post currently happen over email, that is the cost Planable is competing against, not Buffer's $5 a channel.

What happens to your posts after 13 months?

Planable stores published posts for 13 months on Basic and Pro, and 24 months on Enterprise, after which they are permanently deleted. Archived posts are kept 30 days on Basic and Pro, and a year on Enterprise.

That is a short window for anyone who treats their calendar as a record. If you report on year-over-year performance, or you need to show a client what ran in a given quarter two years ago, or you are in a regulated industry where marketing claims have to be producible on request, 13 months does not cover it. Export on a schedule, or price in Enterprise. Version history follows the same pattern and is tighter still: one week on Basic, 30 days on Pro, unlimited on Enterprise.

Planable's MCP connector, and its pricing file for AI agents

Two details on the pricing page say a lot about where this category is going in 2026. The first is that the MCP connector, which lets an AI assistant create and manage content across your workspaces, is included on every tier including the $39 one rather than being held back for Enterprise. The second is a small link near the footer reading "Are you an AI agent? See pricing", pointing at a plain markdown file that lays out every plan, cap and add-on in tables. Planable is publishing a machine-readable version of its own pricing for language models to read, which is the same instinct behind llms.txt and worth copying.

The connector is the more consequential of the two. An assistant that can create and schedule posts across every client workspace is a real time saver and also a new surface: it holds credentials for accounts that publish in your clients' names, and it will do what a prompt tells it to. Teams wiring assistants into tools that can publish are increasingly putting guardrails around what an AI agent is allowed to do with its tools and data before switching the connection on, and with client accounts involved that is the right order to do it in. Planable's required and multi-level approvals help here, since a human still has to sign off before anything goes out.

Is Planable worth it?

Planable is worth it when approval is your bottleneck and your team is bigger than your client list. Unlimited users on a $39 plan is the best seat policy in the category alongside Sendible, the review experience is the best reason anyone buys this tool, and per-workspace pricing means you can quote a client's software cost before you sign them.

It is a poor fit in three cases. If you post daily across every connected page, the 60 and 150 post caps will stop you before the page limits do. If you are one person running four accounts, you are paying $39 for a collaboration feature set with nobody to collaborate with, and Buffer or Zoho Social do the publishing for a third of it. And if you have many clients and few staff, per-workspace pricing is the most expensive shape in the category, because the thing you have a lot of is exactly the thing being metered.

The honest framing is that Planable is a content collaboration and approval platform that also schedules, rather than a scheduler with comments bolted on. Priced against email threads and spreadsheets it looks cheap. Priced against schedulers it looks expensive, because it is not really one.

What Planable does not do

Planable plans, reviews, approves and publishes content. It does not create it. The posts still have to be written by somebody before they can enter a workspace and start moving through an approval chain, and the 60-post and 150-post caps assume you have something to fill them with.

That is the gap Adapter.to covers. Paste a blog post, a video, a podcast or a URL and it writes the X thread, the LinkedIn post, the Instagram caption, the TikTok script, the newsletter and the YouTube description, each shaped for its own channel, then hands you the text to paste into Planable or anywhere else. If you are weighing the two, the Planable alternative comparison puts them side by side, and the content repurposing tools directory covers the wider category. It is also worth reading the Zoho Social pricing breakdown if per-brand metering is the model you are comparing against.
