Where Planoly Wins

  • Visual grid planner. Planoly’s Instagram grid preview is their killer feature. Drag, drop, and see how your feed will look before posting. If Instagram aesthetics matter to you, this is best-in-class.
  • Cheapest entry point. Free plan with 2 profiles and 30 uploads. Paid plans start at $7-11/month. Hard to beat for personal brands.
  • Instagram DM management. Manage DMs directly from the platform. Useful for creators handling customer inquiries.
  • Creator-friendly design. The entire UX is designed for visual creators, not developers. Clean, intuitive, pretty.
  • Storefront features. Sellit and link-in-bio commerce tools for selling products through social.

Where bundle.social Wins

  • API access. Planoly has no API. If you need programmatic access, it’s a non-starter.
  • 14 platforms vs 6. We support Discord, Slack, Mastodon, Bluesky, Google Business, LinkedIn, Reddit, and Threads. Planoly focuses on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, and Twitter/X.
  • Unlimited everything. Accounts, users, uploads. Planoly caps social sets (1-2), users (1-3), and uploads (30-unlimited) depending on plan.
  • Volume. Our Business tier supports 100,000 posts/month. Planoly is designed for individual creators posting a few times a day.
  • Developer tools. SDK, webhooks, OpenAPI spec.
  • Multi-brand at scale. Managing 10+ brands on Planoly means paying for extra social sets. We include unlimited teams.
