Planoly Reviews

Pros

I have been using Planoly for almost 4 years now and it is such a great tool! What I like the most is how I can easily see my branding in one glance because the app simulate Instagram. I also really like how you can switch the day of posting by using the integrated calendar or I can do it manually.

Cons

Sometimes, when I drag a post in the app, I have to do it twice cause the app is very sensitive and doesn't always go where I want too, but it is a minor detail that doesn't impact my overall experience. You can also see only the 18 last published post, which is enough for me, but might be an inconvenience for some.

Pros

Maintaining a visually appealing aesthetic is crucial for content management, and Planoly's grid view has become my secret weapon in achieving that. The ability to plan my posts in a grid layout provides a bird's eye view of how my posts will appear on the feed. This especially comes in handy when I want t stick to a specific color palette.

Cons

There was nothing I disliked about Planoly.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

The calendar view is the only good feature of Planoly

Cons

The price, the features, the web interface has been glitchy for 18+ months, support is not informed of feature changes, auto posting is unreliable and has errors that surface during the posting and not during the drafting - wasting time and resources and often missing posts.

Reasons for Switching to Planoly

Pros

This is a great planning/scheduling tool and is easily accessible for companies of any size and budget range. I've use this tool both at startups and large corporations and it's been an amazing resource for teams to streamline the social planning / scheduling.

Cons

Most of the time automatic posting works great, but there are some challenges with certain assets so as videos or carousels not deploying correctly.

Reasons for Switching to Planoly

Pros

As a one-woman army, Planoly is my most trusted tool when it comes to social media scheduling for my baking business account. It saves you time, allows you to plan and schedule all compatible posts, and helps you maintain a library of your product pictures. I could not have asked for more but it's also helpful to plan content separately for each channel.

Cons

Its a little expensive than its competitors like Plann and Later

Alternatives Considered

Pros

The aesthetics of it. Very minimal. Having a grid view and calendar view. Being able to export the report to share with clients.

Cons

No way to collaborate directly with clients. Doesn't connect to all platforms. Very Instagram-focused. Not a lot of customer support for it, especially in emergencies.

Reasons for Switching to Planoly

Pros

The app seems well designed but that’s about it.

Cons

Where do I start. I was recommended this app by an influencer and it honestly makes me rethink if she ever even really used it. My content wouldn’t post or it would disappear and it was just very confusing to use.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Planoly

Pros

None, the use of the app has been an nightmare

Cons

Customer service [sensitive content hidden]) and app reliability are terrible. I have had problems posting video stories since the beginning of using the app. I schedule them but they never appear. Messages to customer service lead to nothing. Either they don't answer, or they make you try endlessly, or they keep asking the same questions.
Meanwhile, I don't use the app anymore either because it's completely unreliable. A refund of the annual subscription is all I want. I'm not paying for something that doesn't work.

Pros

The programme works perfectly in the trial version.

Cons

I purchased a membership for a year for $257.14 the program has stopped working and there is no contact with support. They are not responding to my requests about problems and how to fix them. I write directly to their email support and through the contact form.

Pros

Nothing. Tech issues for DAYS!! Scheduled posts did NOT go as scheduled! ETC!

Cons

EVERYTHING!!! I WANT A REFUND...NOW!!!!!

Pros

I like the aesthetic and functions. They are the basic functions needed.

Cons

The price was high and the features were pretty basic. There are much better programs and software out there for this that work so much better.

Pros

I use Planoly to plan and schedule my Instagram content. I am a small business owner and don't have employees, so get my content planned ahead and scheduled to post for me saves me huge time, which helps me to create even more content to may customers.

Cons

I have no complains about planoly. Even the free version is already a big helper to get organised. But the paina version worth every penny. I am very happy with this app.

Pros

Planoly makes it simple to pre-plan promoting for quite a long time at a time. Planoly makes it simple to plan out our online media for quite a long time ahead of time. Highlights like labeling different merchants, composing subtitles, hashtagging, and adding areas are promptly accessible and simple to utilize. It's anything but an extraordinary component that shows when your supporters are generally dynamic for you.

Cons

Frankly, I haven't discovered a disadvantage yet. I surmise interestingly, the free form is decent, yet to truly take advantage of Planoly, you definitely should move up to the paid adaptation.

Pros

Planoly offers tons of features for social media calendars. You can set up the content for an entire month and leave it in autopilot. It is super easy to use too.

Cons

The paid plan is a little premium and might not be affordable for small businesses

Pros

What I love most about PLANOLY is that is allows me to professionally manage the publishing and posting of my social media account with great ease and peace of mind. PLANOLY offers scheduled and automated publishing of posts, including set up, hashtag options and all the features that instagram has in app for a fraction, to no cost at all.

Cons

The only thing I have not liked about this app is the lag time between the scheduled post time and the time it actually takes to send the post through to the actual app.

Pros

I liked the promise of being able to easily schedule my instagram posts as well as being able to easily manage multiple accounts for feed and posting

Cons

The software does not live up to its promise. It is already difficult and quite painful to link an instagram account, it is absolutely necessary to connect and give rights of use on a facebook account.The basic user plan is too limited when it comes to the number of posts you can make in a month. Finally the arrival of the web interface of instagram makes this application very uninteresting

Alternatives Considered

Pros

I love being able to schedule posts to automatically post to Instagram and Facebook. It's very simple to use overall, and makes my life much easier.

Cons

Set up for autopost could use some more instructions. We had trouble getting ours to connect and just a few more instructions/details would have made things easier in that regard.

Pros

I like that I can have all the content of my feed organized so that it has a perfect aesthetic, it is important the order of your profile because it is the first impression that customers have of your brand, and this tool has helped me in that.

Cons

Sometimes the application fails to load images, especially when trying to load several images at the same time, but other than that, I feel it is perfect.

Pros

We love how much time we save & that we san keep our content in one place, easily schedule it & also organize & tag/add hashtags for multiple categories. So far we haven’t hit any road blocks.

Cons

I have had a few times where I can’t seem to tag certain account & have had to manually fix this. But the bulk of the work is done so it’s easy to go in & make those additions.

Pros

The interface is beautiful, simple, and intuitive, and the app runs smoothly on mobile devices as well as desktop computers. I’ve never had any issues and autoposting works without fail when I schedule a post. You also get access to a bio-link tool with your Planoly account so you can have all your social tools under one roof.

Cons

Planoly has integrations with only a few social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest), but those are the ones I use most often anyway. The price is also on the high side compared to what they offer vs some of the competition.

Pros

It is very easy to use and the fact that you can plan even an entire month and make automated post gives you extra time to invest in another task.

Cons

The only thing that i don't like is that it doesn't accept all photos formats.

Pros

i like that you can schedule your posts, and it will post them for you. I'm still using the free version and its been great. love that you can organize what you want and how easy it is to use. saves me time especially if I know there days where I wont be available to post.

Cons

I cant really think of anything i dont like about this.

Pros

If you are a social media management person, this tool is going to save you tons of time and energy. The ability to sync and post on multiple accounts and pages from one dashboard is such a time saver. The calendar view on the dashboard is also something that is going to drastically help with your content scheduling. Their paid plans are also very affordable if someone is looking for a low-priced option.

Cons

The UI/UX though looks modern could definitely be simplified to make it easier on the eyes.

Pros

This tool is excellent, it allows me to automate my Instagram posts, the best part is that I can see how my feed will look in the future and move my posts around to adjust the color palette. It's a good option to keep a neat and clean design line.

Cons

I think the only disadvantage this company has is its interface, personally I don't like it, but it fulfills its function perfectly, but they should give it a more modern and original touch.

Pros

This software is so easy to use and it is really helpful. It allows you to see what the content looks like before you publish it.

Cons

If you want extra features, such as unlimited uploads, you need to pay a monthly fee.
