FoPost or Planable?
Pick FoPost if you publish a lot, post beyond Planable's nine networks, or want analytics, inbox and listening without add-ons. Pick Planable if client sign-off is the bottleneck and you want the most polished approval and feedback flow available.
Planable has the cleanest client-approval experience in the category and unlimited users on every plan, which is a strong combination for agencies. What sends people looking is the metering: 60 posts a month on Basic, 150 on Pro, with analytics at $14 and the social inbox at $9 per workspace on top.

Why teams move from Planable
No monthly post cap
Planable Basic allows 60 posts a month per workspace and Pro 150. FoPost does not meter the number of posts you publish.
More platforms
Planable schedules to 9 networks. FoPost ships 31, adding Mastodon, Bluesky, Discord, Slack, Telegram, Reddit, DEV.to, Hashnode and WordPress.
Analytics, inbox and listening included
Planable sells analytics, the social inbox and listening as per-workspace add-ons. FoPost includes analytics, the inbox and Radar listening.
API without a plan upgrade
Planable's public API starts on Pro. FoPost includes the REST API, signed webhooks, an MCP server and SDKs in 12 languages.
An agent that drafts campaigns
The FoPost agent plans a campaign, drafts a post per network in your brand voice, and generates images. Nothing publishes until you approve it.
Where Planable wins
Best-in-class approvals
Required approvals, inline comments, multi-level approval on Enterprise and a client view that genuinely does not confuse clients. This is Planable's real moat.
Unlimited users on every plan
Every tier includes unlimited team members per workspace.
True platform previews
Post previews that faithfully mirror each network, which makes client sign-off much easier.
Why people look for a Planable alternative
Monthly post caps
60 posts on Basic and 150 on Pro. Most competitors do not meter posts at all.
Analytics and inbox are add-ons
$14/workspace/mo for analytics and $9 for the inbox, on top of a $33 base.
Nine platforms
No Mastodon, Bluesky, Discord, Slack, Telegram, Reddit or developer platforms.

FoPost vs Planable: questions
Is FoPost cheaper than Planable for five brands?
Usually. Five Planable Basic workspaces are $165/mo before the analytics or inbox add-ons, and each is capped at 60 posts. On FoPost, 20 accounts across five workspaces cost $63/mo with analytics and inbox included.
Are FoPost approvals as good as Planable's?
No. FoPost has an approval gate per workspace: posts scheduled by members wait for an owner or admin to release them. Planable adds required approvals, multi-level sign-off and inline comments, which is deeper.
Does Planable have an API?
Planable includes a public API on Pro and Enterprise and an MCP connector on every plan. FoPost includes a REST API, signed webhooks, an MCP server and SDKs for every account.
How do I move from Planable to FoPost?
Create a workspace per client, turn on approvals where a client needs sign-off, connect accounts with OAuth, and bring scheduled posts in with a bulk CSV import.
What is the best Planable alternative?
HeyOrca is the closest on approval quality, with unlimited users and a client view that needs no login. FoPost removes the post caps entirely and includes analytics across 31 platforms.
Which alternative has no monthly post limit?
FoPost, SocialPilot, Sendible, Publer, HeyOrca and Metricool all publish without metering the number of posts.
Do any alternatives include analytics in the base price?
Yes. FoPost, Metricool, SocialPilot and Sendible all include analytics rather than selling it as an add-on.
