Planoly Pricing Table 2026

Checked on Planoly's pricing page and help center in October 2026. The pricing page shows the annual rate; the help center gives both.

PlanMonthlyBilled annually, per monthSocial SetsUsersUploads
Starter$16$1411Unlimited
Growth$28$2422Unlimited
Pro$55$4766Unlimited

Annual plans are billed upfront and save up to about 15%.

Add-ons: on Growth, extra social sets are $10/month and extra users $5/month; on Pro, $8 and $3. Starter cannot add sets or users; you upgrade to Growth instead.

Older articles, including an earlier version of this page, listed Starter with a 60-upload cap, Growth with 1 social set and 3 users, and Pro at $43 for 2 sets. That lineup changed in late 2025.


What Each Plan Includes

Every plan includes AI content ideas and caption suggestions, a social calendar across platforms, scheduling and auto-posting where platforms allow it, Instagram grid preview, a media library, link in bio with a storefront for digital and physical products, and Instagram DM and comment automation.

  • 1 social set, 1 user
  • Unlimited uploads

Planoly vs Competitors

ToolEntry price, monthlyPricing modelBest For
Planoly Starter$16By social setInstagram grid planning
Later Starter$25 ($18.75 annually)By social setVisual planning, 8 networks
Buffer Essentials$5-6 per channelPer channelSimple scheduling
SocialRails Creator$29 ($290/year)Flat, 10 accountsAI content and video templates

For one brand, Planoly Starter is the cheapest of these. With several accounts on the same network, or many networks, flat pricing like SocialRails' can cost less than buying extra social sets.


What Planoly Does Well

Instagram Grid Preview

Planoly built its reputation on grid planning: preview your Instagram feed and rearrange posts before they go out.

Every plan includes a link in bio page that can sell digital products, physical merch and bookings, with no transaction fees according to Planoly.

DM Automation

Automated replies to Instagram comments and DMs on every plan.


What Planoly Lacks

Social-set pricing. Accounts come in sets of one per platform, so several accounts on one network mean buying more sets.

Few users on lower plans. 1 user on Starter and 2 on Growth.

No video templates. SocialRails includes 350+.


Is Planoly Worth It?

Worth it if you:

  • Plan Instagram content visually
  • Want link in bio with a storefront and DM automation in one tool
  • Run one or two brands

Not worth it if you:

  • Manage many accounts on the same network
  • Need many users on a small budget
  • Want video templates

Planoly offers a 14-day free trial on paid plans. Accounts without a paid subscription are on Planoly's free plan: 1 workspace, 1 user and 10 posts a month per workspace, according to Planoly's help center (September 2026).
