Unbeatable customer service

I have really high standards for Customer Service, and the Planable team just keeps on exceeding them. Also, having all the content and posts in one single place and ready to go was the biggest problem Planable solved.

The easiest tool I have found for approval workflows

Planable is the easiest tool I have found for uploading content with a simple approval workflow that makes it easy to go from draft to published with client’s approval

Great tool for my staff and my clients

I love that its easy for people to navigate the workspaces. My clients can approve and leave comments without thinking about it. It was easy to get started with the workspaces and onboard my clients. I use this daily and my team loves it!

The Ultimate Social Media Scheduling App for Creatives

Planable is hands down the best social media scheduler I’ve tried. As a creative, its tagging & approvals features are game-changers. Organizing content and collaborating with my team has never been easier for maximizing efficiency and creativity! We actually get stuff posted rather than not posting at all!
