Planoly
Checked 26 Oct 2026 · source · 8 networks · API not stated · AI yes
Creators and small brands who plan Instagram and TikTok visually and want AI caption and idea help in a flat-priced plan.
You need a published API or deep team permissions; the pricing page shows no API and only up to 6 social sets on the top plan.
Overview
Planoly is a planning tool built around the visual feed. The homepage lists a calendar, a feed preview for arranging the Instagram grid, a media library, an AI idea generator for post ideas, keywords and captions, content templates tied to trends and holidays, automated replies to comments and DMs, a link-in-bio page that can sell digital products, a CRM and analytics. It publishes automatically where platforms allow it and uses reminders where native posting works better.
Networks are Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube and Threads, with X mentioned for reminders only on the homepage. When I line the plans up, the structure is built on social sets (a set is one group of profiles) and users: Starter has 1 set and 1 user with unlimited uploads, Growth has 2 and 2, Pro has 6 and 6.
The pricing page states that the AI idea generator, auto DMs and auto-replies are in all plans. It shows no API; it links a Planoly MCP resource without detail, so API access is unknown.
What it does well
- Gives a feed preview and visual calendar for planning Instagram and TikTok.
- Includes AI idea help, auto DMs and auto-replies on every plan.
- Has a link-in-bio page and a CRM on the homepage.
- Offers a free plan in the mobile app and a 14-day trial on paid plans.
What to watch out for
- The free plan is only on the mobile app and allows 10 uploads a month.
- Annual prices are not shown, only a claim of savings up to 15%.
- X appears to be reminder-only on the homepage and in the FAQ.
- The top plan stops at 6 social sets and 6 users, and I found no API.
Plans and prices
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed annually, per month | Unit | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $14 | Not published | per month | 1 social set, 1 user, unlimited uploads |
| Growth | $24 | Not published | per month | 2 social sets, 2 users; extra set $10/month, extra user $5/month |
| Pro | $47 | Not published | per month | 6 social sets, 6 users; extra set $8/month, extra user $3/month |
Free plan: Free plan on the Planoly mobile app, 10 uploads per month
The ladder is $14, $24 and $47 per month for Starter, Growth and Pro. Growth is two sets and two users; Pro is six of each. Expansion is priced per unit: an extra social set is $10 a month on Growth and $8 on Pro, and an extra user is $5 on Growth and $3 on Pro. So the bill grows with sets first, then seats. The page says annual billing saves up to 15% but shows no annual amounts, so I have not calculated any.
