PostDelegate vs Planable.

At a glance

Planable prices checked on November 7, 2026, monthly billing, USD, from its pricing page. PostDelegate prices come from our own pricing page.

Pricing, and what the add-ons do to it

Planable charges per workspace per month with unlimited users: Basic $39 for four social pages and sixty posts, Pro $59 for ten pages and a hundred and fifty posts, Enterprise quoted at fifty pages. More pages means more workspaces, and the price multiplies.

So ten channels is one Pro workspace at $59, because Basic's four pages would need three workspaces at $117. Thirty channels is three Pro workspaces at $177. The same counts on PostDelegate are $29 and $39, with team members included from Team upward.

The add-ons matter more than the headline here. Analytics is $14 per workspace per month, the social inbox $9, and social listening $99 — each per workspace, so they multiply the same way the base plan does. An agency on three workspaces wanting analytics is paying $177 plus $42. And their pricing toggle opens on yearly, where Basic and Pro read $33 and $49; the figures above are monthly billing.

Approvals, which is Planable's real argument

Planable is a collaboration tool first and a scheduler second, and it is good at the thing it leads with. Posts are reviewed in a feed, calendar, grid or list view that mirrors how the post will look; comments attach to specific posts; and approval comes in layers — optional on Basic, required on Pro, multi-level on Enterprise, with bulk approval above Basic. Unlimited users on Basic and Pro means you are never deciding whether a reviewer is worth a seat on the plans most teams buy.

PostDelegate approaches the same problem from the client's side rather than the team's. Posts have statuses and an approvals inbox, and a client approval link opens the post for review without the client creating an account, which removes the most common piece of friction in agency review. There is also a review inbox specifically for drafts an AI assistant wrote, so an agent can fill a week and a person still signs it off. What PostDelegate does not have is Planable's multi-level chain — if your process is writer to editor to legal to client, Planable models that directly.

Agents, and the word "publish"

Both tools ship an MCP connector, which is still unusual, and both are honest about what theirs does. Planable's is on all paid plans and its own guide is explicit that it drafts, edits, handles approvals and reads analytics but does not publish posts directly. PostDelegate's is on every plan and does publish and schedule, with the review inbox as the safety step.

The API story runs the same way: Planable's is on Pro and Enterprise and its comparison table marks it as absent on Basic, while PostDelegate's REST API and webhooks are on every plan. If you intend to drive the calendar from your own code or from an assistant, that is the line to check.

Where Planable is the better pick

• Your review process has several layers and lives inside the team: optional, required and multi-level approvals are the point of the product.
• You want unlimited users on the cheapest plan so every reviewer can have an account.
• You publish to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Threads or X today.
• You want a free allowance with no clock on it rather than a 7-day trial.

Where PostDelegate fits

• You would rather not pay per workspace for analytics and an inbox on top of the plan.
• Your reviewers are clients who should not have to create an account.
• You want the assistant to publish and schedule, not only draft and wait.
• You publish to YouTube, Bluesky, Mastodon, blogs, developer communities or community chats.

What to check before choosing

• Whether the exact accounts you manage can connect and publish today.
• The monthly total for your real number of channels and people, not the headline price.
• How you want to pay for AI: included in the plan, or on your own key.
• How approvals work for your team and your clients.
• The support, subscription and data-handling terms of each service.
