When Planoly is the better choice
We would rather you pick the right tool than churn out of ours in a month. These are real reasons to choose Planoly.
- Planoly is a visual-first Instagram and Pinterest planner, and the grid preview workflow is better than ours for brands that plan a feed aesthetically.
- Selling digital products and merch directly through their link-in-bio is a real revenue feature we do not have.
- Auto-DM automation for Instagram is something we do not offer at all.
Where we win
Every line here is checkable against the pricing pages linked above.
- Desktop and mobile on the free plan, not mobile-only.
- Five channels free against one, and unlimited scheduling against 10 uploads a month.
- Ten channels for $10/month versus six for $47/month.
Built for people who post video
Most schedulers, Planoly included, treat a Reel as a file to upload. The difference shows up the first time a post fails at 6am.
It checks your clip before it queues.
Duration, file size and aspect ratio are validated against each platform's rules. A clip that is too long is a blocking error; the wrong aspect ratio is a warning. You find out before the post fails, not after.
One composer, every channel.
Write once, adapt per platform, and queue it all from a single calendar. Analytics come back into the same view — including best-time-to-post, once you have published enough history for it to mean anything.
Your AI agent can draft, but not publish.
Connect Claude or any MCP client on the free plan — 67 tools, including timeline editing. Publishing is preview-then-confirm: an agent proposes a post and it only goes out when you confirm.
Questions people actually ask
Is Planoly's free plan usable on desktop?
No — as of 2026-08-17 the free tier is limited to their mobile app with 10 uploads a month. Ours works everywhere.
Planoly has MCP too?
Yes, listed from their Starter plan. We do not claim to be the only scheduler with MCP — ours is on the free plan and includes timeline-editing tools with confirm-gated publishing.
