The short answer
Planable is the better fit if you need to…
- publish or schedule posts to social networks from the same tool today;
- have the tool block publishing until a post is approved, or run multi-stage approvals;
- let clients comment on shared posts and calendars without creating an account.
PostifyNow may fit if you want to…
- explore a workflow where approval applies to one exact revision, using the deterministic demo on sample data;
- plan and agree a review process first with free, no-login worksheets you can print or export;
- keep each delivery attempt and its outcome visible, including unknown results that are not retried blindly.
Side by side
| Question | Planable (checked 2026-10-22) | PostifyNow today |
|---|---|---|
| Live publishing to social networks | Yes. Its pricing page lists scheduling for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Google Business Profile and Threads. | Not available yet. No social account is connected and no post is sent to a network. |
| Approval enforced by the tool | Per workspace: none or optional on Basic; required approval on Pro; multi-level approval on Enterprise. | The product workflow requires approval of an exact revision before scheduling. You can try it in the demo on sample data with simulated deliveries. |
| Client review without an account | Public share links allow viewing and commenting, but not approving. Approving needs an account with approval rights. | Reviewers use the application; there are no public share links. The free worksheets can be printed or shared as files. |
| Free option | The first 50 posts are free, with no time limit. X publishing is not included during the free trial. | Free plan, no card needed, and free planning resources without an account. Live publishing is not part of any plan yet. |
| Pricing model | Per workspace. Basic was shown from $33 and Pro from $49 per workspace per month, with a yearly billing option; Enterprise is custom. | See PostifyNow pricing. |
| Calendar views | Feed and calendar on Basic, plus grid on Pro and list on Enterprise. | Calendar of scheduled work in the application; a free, no-login content calendar planner with CSV export. |
Current PostifyNow limitations
- Live social publishing is not available. Scheduling and delivery results in the demo are simulated.
- The free calendar planner and the agency approval checklist are worksheets. Their review labels and checkboxes do not record, enforce or prove an approval.
- There is no client share link, social inbox, analytics add-on or social listening.
- The free image aspect ratio tool is a calculator, not an image resizer, and the metadata inspector reads pasted HTML; it does not fetch live URLs.
This is not a feature-parity comparison. If you need to publish to client accounts this week, PostifyNow cannot do that today.
