Planable uses a per-workspace pricing model rather than charging for every person on your team. That can make it an affordable option for brands with several reviewers, since you can invite unlimited users without increasing the base subscription cost.
The trade-off is that every additional paid workspace increases your bill. Costs can rise further when you add Analytics, Social Inbox, or Social Listening, because these features are charged separately for each workspace.
The workspace fee is only part of the calculation, though. Monthly post limits, connected social pages, approval requirements, and the tools each client needs can all affect your total subscription cost.
This guide explains Planable’s plans, annual billing discounts, add-ons, publishing limits, and cancellation policies. It also works through realistic agency budgets so you can see how the pricing changes as you take on more clients.
Planable pricing: Key takeaways
- Planable charges per workspace, not per user. Basic costs $39 per month, Pro costs $59, and Enterprise pricing is available through a custom quote.
- All paid plans include unlimited users, so adding reviewers does not increase the base subscription price.
- Annual billing costs $390 per workspace on Basic and approximately $590 on Pro.
- Basic includes 60 created posts per month and four connected pages per workspace. Pro includes 150 posts and 10 pages.
- Basic does not support mandatory approval. Required approval starts with Pro.
- Analytics costs $14, Social Inbox $9, and Social Listening $99 per workspace per month.
- Extra publishing capacity and media storage are also available as paid add-ons.
- Enterprise and Custom customers must provide at least 90 days’ notice to cancel. Planable’s refund information is inconsistent: its terms state that sales are final, while its help centre mentions a 14-day refund period.
- The total cost depends mainly on the number of workspaces and which add-ons each workspace needs.
What do Planable pricing plans cost?
Planable offers three paid plans: Basic, Pro, and Enterprise. Each subscription is priced per workspace, and all paid plans include unlimited users.
The following table shows the published costs and the main limits associated with each option.
| Plan | Monthly price per workspace | Annual payment per workspace | Created posts per month | Connected pages | Users |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free trial | $0 | Not applicable | 50 total, no monthly reset | Confirm current allowance | Unlimited |
| Basic | $39 | $390 | 60 | 4 | Unlimited |
| Pro | $59 | Approximately $590 | 150 | 10 | Unlimited |
| Enterprise | Custom quote | Custom quote | Unlimited | Confirm in quote | Unlimited |
Pricing source: Planable’s official pricing page and pricing document, checked on October 29, 2026. Annual subscription prices are based on published information in its help centre. Taxes, add-ons, and negotiated terms may change the final invoice.
One detail is worth understanding when comparing the annual rates. Planable’s yearly pricing cards display rounded monthly equivalents of $33 for Basic and $49 for Pro. For budgeting, use the published annual totals rather than multiplying those rounded figures by 12.
Enterprise pricing is not fixed. Planable’s help centre says it typically starts at around $2,500 per year, but the final price and included allowances depend on the quote.
How much does Planable cost with annual billing?
Planable offers a discount when you pay for a full year upfront. Its pricing information describes this as paying for 10 months and receiving 12 months of access.
That works out to approximately 17% savings compared with making 12 separate monthly payments.
| Plan | Cost with 12 monthly payments | Annual payment | Annual saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $468 | $390 | $78 |
| Pro | $708 | $590 | $118 |
Annual billing reduces the overall subscription cost, but the payment is made upfront.
Monthly subscriptions remain available and can be cancelled at any time. If you cancel an annual subscription during its billing period, you retain access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
What is a Planable workspace, and why does it determine the price?
A workspace is the main unit Planable uses to calculate subscription costs. It is a dedicated area for a particular client, brand, or business location.
Each workspace can have its own:
- Connected social pages
- Content calendar
- Team members
- Campaigns
- Approval workflows
- Publishing activity
Planable recommends creating a separate workspace for each brand or client. This keeps content, connected pages, and approval processes organised instead of mixing several clients in one shared area.
For example, an agency managing five clients would typically need five workspaces.
The important distinction is that adding collaborators does not increase the base user charge, but creating another paid workspace does.
This makes the number of brands and clients you manage a much bigger cost factor than the size of your team.
A business with one brand and 15 reviewers may pay less than an agency with five clients and only two reviewers per client.
What does each Planable plan include?
The main differences between Planable’s plans are publishing capacity, connected pages, approval controls, storage, and collaboration features.
Basic: $39 per workspace/month
Basic is designed for brands and smaller teams that need a shared content calendar and straightforward publishing workflow.
Each Basic workspace includes:
- 60 created posts per month
- Four connected social pages
- Feed and calendar views
- Three campaigns
- Five labels
- 10 GB of media storage
- One week of version history
- Suggested edits
- AI-assisted post writing
- Recurring posts
- AI connector
- Design, chat, and automation integrations
Basic covers the essential parts of planning and preparing social content. It also supports collaboration, since you can invite unlimited users without paying extra for additional seats.
However, several restrictions can become important for agencies.
Approval is optional rather than mandatory, so publishing does not have to stop while a post waits for sign-off. Basic also does not include grid or list views, team-only drafts and notes, public API access, or SSO.
Other limitations include:
- X publishing is limited to one post every 24 hours.
- Support is limited to the knowledge base.
- The monthly publishing allowance is 60 created posts per workspace.
Who should choose Basic?
Basic is suitable for a single brand or a small team that needs a shared publishing calendar, straightforward collaboration, and a limited number of connected pages.
It is less suitable when clients require mandatory approval before content goes live.
Pro: $59 per workspace/month
Pro increases the publishing and collaboration allowances while adding more control over the approval process.
Each Pro workspace includes:
- 150 created posts per month
- 10 connected social pages
- 10 campaigns
- 10 labels
- 50 GB of media storage
- 30 days of version history
- Grid view
- Team-only drafts and notes
- Bulk approval
- Synchronisation of previously published content
- Public API access
- Unlimited X publishing
- Chat support
The biggest difference between Basic and Pro is the ability to enforce approval before publishing.
This is particularly important for agencies that manage client accounts. A client may want to review every post before it is published, and Pro allows teams to make that approval step mandatory.
Pro still has limits. Publishing is capped at 150 created posts per month, and connected pages are limited to 10 per workspace.
Multi-level approvals, list view, and SSO are reserved for Enterprise.
Who should choose Pro?
Pro is a practical option for freelancers, marketing teams, and agencies that need client approvals, more connected pages, and a higher monthly publishing allowance.
If a client must approve content before it goes live, Pro is the minimum plan to consider.
Enterprise: Custom pricing
Enterprise is designed for larger organisations that need more publishing capacity, advanced approval processes, and additional security controls.
Its features include:
- Unlimited created posts
- Unlimited campaigns
- Unlimited labels
- Up to 50 connected pages per workspace
- Multi-level approval workflows
- List view
- Single sign-on (SSO)
- Unlimited version history
- Priority support
- Personalised onboarding
- Dedicated account manager
- Bank or wire transfer payment options
Multi-level approval is particularly useful for organisations with several departments involved in content review. A post can move through a sequence of approvals, such as a marketing manager, client contact, and legal reviewer.
Planable’s help centre indicates that Enterprise typically starts at around $2,500 per year. However, the final subscription price, connected-page allowance, storage, and add-on inclusions should be confirmed in the sales quote.
Who should choose Enterprise?
Enterprise is better suited to larger agencies and organisations that need advanced approval structures, SSO, extensive publishing capacity, and dedicated support.
Which Planable approval setting do you need?
Approval workflows are one of the most important reasons to choose between Basic, Pro, and Enterprise.
Planable provides four approval settings, each with a different level of control over the publishing process.
| Approval setting | How it works | Available on |
|---|---|---|
| None | Posts can be published without an approval step | Basic, Pro, Enterprise |
| Optional | Users can request approval, but publishing is not blocked | Basic, Pro, Enterprise |
| Required | At least one approver must approve a post before it can be published | Pro, Enterprise |
| Multi-level | Posts go through a sequence of approvals, such as team lead, client, and legal | Enterprise |
The difference between optional and required approval is important.
With optional approval, a team member can still publish without waiting for a reviewer. Required approval blocks publishing until an authorised person signs off.
For agencies that promise clients a formal review process, Basic may not provide enough control. Pro is the starting point for mandatory approval, while Enterprise is the better choice when several people or departments must approve content in sequence.
What do Planable add-ons cost?
Planable sells several features separately rather than including them in every subscription. These add-ons are charged per workspace, which means the cost can increase with each client workspace where you activate them.
| Add-on | Monthly price per workspace | Annual payment per workspace | Monthly equivalent shown on annual pricing card |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics | $14 | $140 | $12 |
| Social Inbox | $9 | $90 | $7.50 |
| Social Listening | $99 | $990 | $82.50 |
| Extra posts (Pro only) | $49 | $490 | Raises the quota to 500 posts/month |
| Extra storage | $20 per additional 50 GB | $200 per 50 GB | Adds media storage |
Analytics, Social Inbox, and Social Listening each offer a 30-day trial on a paid plan. These trials are separate from the free trial’s 50-post allowance.
The annual pricing cards also use rounded monthly equivalents. For example, $140 per year works out to approximately $11.67 per month, which Planable displays as $12.
Analytics: Reporting across connected channels
The Analytics add-on provides more detailed reporting for social media performance.
Its features include:
- Cross-channel statistics
- Page and post performance metrics
- Audience insights
- Personalised best-time-to-post recommendations
- Client-ready reports
- Competitor analytics for up to five competitor profiles
Analytics coverage includes a defined list of major social networks and Google Business Profile. It should not be treated as a universal reporting solution for every platform.
Competitor analytics focuses on competitors’ own profiles and posts. It does not monitor conversations that mention those competitors.
At $14 per workspace per month, Analytics can be useful for agencies that need to prepare regular performance reports for clients. However, the cost should be included separately when calculating the subscription for multiple workspaces.
Social Inbox: Manage comments and messages
The Social Inbox add-on brings supported comments and direct messages into one place.
Its features include:
- Comment and message management
- Replies and reactions
- Conversation status sorting
- AI-assisted reply suggestions
- Sentiment sorting
There are limits to its coverage. Comment management supports four major social networks, while direct-message support covers two.
That means the Social Inbox does not necessarily cover every network you can publish to through Planable.
At $9 per workspace per month, it is a relatively small add-on for one client. Across five or ten workspaces, however, the recurring cost becomes more noticeable.
Social Listening: The most expensive add-on
Social Listening costs $99 per workspace per month, making it Planable’s most expensive individual add-on.
It includes:
- One brand keyword
- Three topic keywords
- Three competitor keywords per workspace
- Sentiment analysis
- Engagement tracking
- Spike alerts
- CSV export
One important limitation is the keyword refresh schedule.
According to Planable’s documented schedule:
- Brand keywords refresh every 24 hours.
- Competitor keywords refresh every 24 hours.
- Topic keywords refresh every seven days.
This is not a live monitoring stream. If your team expects real-time alerts whenever a brand is mentioned, confirm whether the refresh schedule meets your requirements.
Social Listening does not require the Analytics add-on.
Extra publishing capacity and storage
Basic includes 60 created posts per month, while Pro includes 150.
Pro users can purchase the extra-posts add-on for $49 per month per workspace. It raises the monthly allowance to 500 created posts.
Additional media storage is available at $20 per month for each extra 50 GB.
These costs are worth considering if your agency publishes frequently or stores a large volume of images and videos for clients.
What will your team really pay for Planable?
The actual cost of Planable depends on three main factors:
- The number of workspaces you need.
- The subscription plan assigned to each workspace.
- The add-ons required by each client or brand.
Because add-ons are charged per workspace, a feature that looks inexpensive for one client can become a significant expense when applied across an entire agency.
Cost of one workspace with add-ons
The following table shows how add-ons change the cost of one Basic or Pro workspace.
| Configuration | Basic/month | Basic/year | Pro/month | Pro/year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base plan | $39 | $390 | $59 | $590 |
| + Analytics | $53 | $530 | $73 | $730 |
| + Social Inbox | $48 | $480 | $68 | $680 |
| + Analytics and Inbox | $62 | $620 | $82 | $820 |
| + Social Listening | $138 | $1,380 | $158 | $1,580 |
| + Analytics, Inbox, and Listening | $161 | $1,610 | $181 | $1,810 |
The difference is substantial when you activate several tools.
For example, a Basic workspace costs $390 per year without add-ons. Adding Analytics, Social Inbox, and Social Listening increases the annual total to $1,610.
That is more than four times the base subscription price.
The same calculation matters for Pro. A workspace with all three add-ons costs $1,810 per year instead of $590.
Annual cost based on the number of workspaces
The following table shows how the base subscription grows as you add clients or brands. These figures exclude all optional add-ons.
| Number of workspaces | Basic annual cost | Pro annual cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $390 | $590 |
| 3 | $1,170 | $1,770 |
| 5 | $1,950 | $2,950 |
| 10 | $3,900 | $5,900 |
The calculation is straightforward: multiply the annual price of one workspace by the number of workspaces.
Unlike per-user pricing, adding more reviewers does not change these base totals. The number of clients or brands is the main cost driver.
A worked example: An agency managing five clients
Imagine an agency managing five clients. Each client has a separate Pro workspace, and the agency needs Analytics and Social Inbox for every client.
One Pro workspace with both add-ons costs $820 per year.
For five clients:
5 × $820 = $4,100 per year
Now suppose the agency also activates Social Listening for all five clients.
Each workspace then costs $1,810 per year.
5 × $1,810 = $9,050 per year
| Configuration | Annual cost |
|---|---|
| Five Pro workspaces | $2,950 |
| Five Pro workspaces with Analytics and Social Inbox | $4,100 |
| Five Pro workspaces with Analytics, Social Inbox, and Social Listening | $9,050 |
These are calculations based on published list prices. Actual invoices may differ because of taxes, negotiated terms, or volume discounts.
For an agency, the important lesson is to calculate the cost for every client workspace rather than relying on the starting price of one subscription.
Planable renewal, cancellation, and refund policies
Planable’s subscription terms are relatively straightforward, but the cancellation and refund conditions deserve attention before you pay for a year.
The following details are based on Planable’s terms, last revised on April 14, 2026.
How do renewal and cancellation work?
Planable subscriptions renew automatically. You need to cancel before the renewal date if you do not want to be charged for another billing period.
The cancellation process depends on your plan:
- Self-service plans: Customers can manage or cancel subscriptions through the Billing Dashboard.
- Enterprise and Custom plans: Customers must contact Planable and provide at least 90 days’ notice.
If you cancel an annual subscription during the current billing period, you retain access until the end of the paid term.
This means cancelling does not automatically generate a refund for unused months.
Are Planable subscriptions refundable?
Planable’s published information contains a discrepancy that customers should clarify before subscribing.
Its terms state that all sales are final and subscription fees are non-refundable. However, its help centre advertises refunds within 14 days after payment.
These statements do not clearly establish the same refund policy.
The terms also explain that downgrades, including removing workspaces, generate credits toward future invoices rather than cash refunds.
A 30-day trial for an add-on should not be confused with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
If the refund policy is important to your decision, ask Planable to confirm the applicable terms in writing before making payment.
Can Planable change its prices?
Yes. Planable reserves the right to change subscription fees with advance notice before the new prices take effect.
However, its terms do not specify a fixed number of days for that notice.
For businesses with multiple workspaces, even a small price increase can affect the annual budget significantly. Keep an eye on renewal communications and review the subscription total before the next billing date.
Who is Planable best suited for, and where does it get expensive?
Planable’s per-workspace pricing works well for some businesses but becomes less attractive as the number of clients and paid add-ons increases.
The following examples show how the model affects different types of teams.
One brand with many reviewers
This is where Planable’s pricing structure offers the clearest advantage.
A business managing one brand can invite a large number of internal reviewers, editors, and client contacts without paying for additional user seats.
The annual base subscription is:
- Basic: $390
- Pro: $590
The number of people collaborating in the workspace does not change these base prices.
For businesses with one brand and a large review team, this can be more economical than a tool that charges separately for every user.
Small agencies managing two or three clients
An agency with three clients typically needs three separate workspaces.
The annual base cost would be:
- Basic: $1,170
- Pro: $1,770
However, not every client may need the same features. If one client requires mandatory approval, that workspace needs Pro at minimum.
Whether different subscription plans can be mixed across workspaces should be confirmed with Planable before building a budget around that arrangement.
Agencies managing five or more clients
The cost increases with every additional workspace.
For example:
- Five Pro workspaces: $2,950 per year
- Ten Pro workspaces: $5,900 per year
These amounts exclude Analytics, Social Inbox, Social Listening, and other extras.
Planable mentions volume discounts for customers with five or more workspaces, but it does not publish a fixed discount percentage.
Agencies managing several clients should ask for a volume quote and compare it with the standard list price.
Large organisations
Large organisations may need SSO, multi-level approvals, unlimited publishing, and more advanced administration controls. These features are available on Enterprise.
The subscription price is determined through a custom quote rather than the public rate card.
There is also a detail worth confirming before signing. Planable’s published pages differ on whether Analytics and Social Inbox are included with Enterprise.
Ask the sales team to list the included features, workspace allowances, storage, and add-on charges in the written proposal.
How does Planable pricing compare with other social media management tools?
Planable’s per-workspace model is not the only way to pay for social media management software.
Some platforms charge a fixed subscription for a collection of users, workspaces, and social accounts. That structure can make a difference for agencies that manage many clients.
For comparison, the following section uses ContentStudio’s published pricing and features as an example of a plan-based pricing model.
How ContentStudio prices its plans
ContentStudio charges by subscription plan rather than charging separately for every workspace.
Its published annual-billing prices are:
| Plan | Monthly price with annual billing | Included social accounts | Included workspaces | Included users |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $19 | 5 | 1 | 1 |
| Advanced | $49 | 10 | 2 | 2 |
| Agency Unlimited | $99 | 25 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Standard includes five social accounts, one workspace, and one user.
Advanced includes 10 social accounts, two workspaces, and two users. Additional users cost $10 per month, while additional social accounts cost $5 per month.
Agency Unlimited includes unlimited users and workspaces, with 25 social accounts included.
These allowances make the plan worth examining for agencies that manage several clients but do not want to pay a separate base subscription for every workspace.
Planable vs. ContentStudio: Annual cost comparison
The following examples compare the annual subscription costs for different team and client configurations.
| Situation | Planable option | Planable annual cost | ContentStudio option | ContentStudio annual cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 brand, 4 pages, 1 user | Basic | $390 | Standard | $228 |
| 1 brand, 10 pages, mandatory approval, 5 reviewers | Pro | $590 | Advanced + 3 extra users | $948 |
| 5 clients, 3 pages each, approvals | 5 Pro workspaces | $2,950 | Agency Unlimited | $1,188 |
| 8 clients, 3 pages each, approvals, Analytics, and Inbox | 8 Pro workspaces + Analytics + Inbox | $6,560 | Agency Unlimited | $1,188 |
Sources: Planable’s official pricing page and pricing document, and ContentStudio’s published pricing information, checked on October 29, 2026. The ContentStudio Advanced calculation assumes the additional-user rate applies to annual billing; confirm the applicable rate before purchasing.
The comparison is not one-sided.
For a single brand with several reviewers, Planable Pro costs $590 annually, while the illustrated ContentStudio configuration costs $948. Planable is less expensive in that situation.
For agencies managing several clients, the calculation changes. Five Planable Pro workspaces cost $2,950 annually before add-ons, while Agency Unlimited is listed at $1,188 per year.
The difference becomes even larger when an agency needs Analytics and Social Inbox across multiple Planable workspaces.
What does this comparison leave out?
These examples compare the stated workspace, account, and user requirements. They do not represent identical feature sets.
ContentStudio Agency Unlimited includes unlimited publishing, approval workflows, analytics, competitor analytics, and a social inbox across its 25 included social accounts.
Planable Pro has a monthly created-post limit and charges separately for Analytics and Social Inbox.
Listening and full platform white-labelling are excluded from the comparison. ContentStudio accounts beyond the included allowance may also cost extra.
Before choosing either platform, check the exact social account count, publishing requirements, approval process, and reporting tools your agency needs.
Is Planable worth the price?
Planable can be a good choice for businesses that manage one or a small number of brands with several people involved in content creation and review.
Its unlimited-user policy is particularly useful when many employees, clients, or managers need to collaborate in the same workspace.
Basic is suitable for straightforward publishing and collaboration. Pro is the better option when client approval must be enforced before publishing. Enterprise is designed for larger organisations that need multi-level approvals, SSO, and more advanced administration.
The challenge appears when an agency manages many clients.
Every additional client generally means another workspace, and Analytics, Social Inbox, and Social Listening can add recurring charges to each one. As a result, the total subscription cost may be considerably higher than the advertised $39 or $59 starting price.
Before purchasing, calculate three things:
- Workspace count: How many brands or clients will need separate workspaces?
- Approval requirements: Does every client need mandatory approval, or is optional review sufficient?
- Add-ons: Which workspaces actually need Analytics, Social Inbox, or Social Listening?
Once you have these figures, calculate the annual cost using the full workspace configuration rather than the base subscription alone.
For an agency with one brand and many reviewers, Planable can be an economical choice. For an agency managing several clients with multiple paid add-ons, the per-workspace model deserves a closer comparison with other pricing structures.
Frequently asked questions about Planable pricing
Is Planable cheaper for agencies?
It depends on the number of clients and the features each workspace requires. Planable can be cost-effective for one brand with many reviewers because all plans include unlimited users. However, agencies managing several clients pay for each workspace, and add-ons can increase the total further.
How does Planable pricing change as you add clients?
Planable recommends using a separate workspace for each client. Every additional paid workspace increases the subscription cost. If you activate Analytics or Social Inbox for that workspace, those add-ons increase the bill as well.
Which is more affordable for managing five client workspaces?
At published annual list prices, five Planable Pro workspaces cost $2,950 before add-ons. The ContentStudio Agency Unlimited plan is listed at $1,188 per year and includes unlimited workspaces and users, along with 25 social accounts. The difference is $1,762 annually, assuming the included account allowance covers all five clients’ needs and excluding any negotiated Planable volume discount.
Do I need a higher Planable plan to publish more posts?
Yes. Basic includes 60 created posts per workspace per month, while Pro includes 150. Enterprise offers unlimited publishing. Pro users can also purchase the extra-posts add-on for $49 per month, increasing the allowance to 500 created posts per workspace.
Does Planable charge per user?
No. Planable’s paid plans include unlimited users. Its subscription cost is based on the number of workspaces rather than the number of people invited to collaborate.
How many social pages can I connect to Planable?
Basic includes four connected pages per workspace, while Pro includes 10. Enterprise is listed with 50 connected pages per workspace, although the final allowance should be confirmed in the quote.
Does Planable offer a free plan?
The pricing information includes a free trial with 50 created posts in total and no monthly reset. This is a limited trial allowance, not an ongoing monthly publishing quota. Confirm the current trial terms and connected-page allowance before signing up.
Are Planable add-ons charged per workspace?
Yes. Analytics, Social Inbox, and Social Listening are priced per workspace per month. If you activate the same add-on for several client workspaces, you pay the corresponding charge for each one.
Are taxes included in Planable’s prices?
No. Published prices are in USD and exclude applicable taxes. Any tax is shown separately on the invoice. Customers are responsible for paying applicable taxes unless they provide an approved tax exemption certificate.
Can I get a refund after cancelling Planable?
Planable’s terms state that sales are final and subscription fees are non-refundable. However, its help centre mentions refunds within 14 days after payment. Because these statements differ, confirm the applicable refund policy with Planable before purchasing.
