Planable alternative: a free plan every month, and 10 businesses for $29

Planable is a social media planning and approval tool for teams and agencies, priced per workspace with unlimited users, with 50 free posts to start and 60 posts a month on its $33 Basic plan. PostWire writes a different post for each network from one idea and publishes them — from the dashboard, the REST API, n8n or an AI agent — with pricing per business, a free plan that renews every month, and RSS feeds and recurring posts in the plans.

Short answer. PostWire's free plan publishes 10 posts a month to 2 networks per post with the REST API, the MCP server and an RSS feed, every month; Planable's free start is 50 posts in total, then $33 a workspace a month for 60 posts. 10 businesses on 5 networks are $29 a month on PostWire against $490 on Planable (10 Pro workspaces at $49).

Every Planable price and feature here was read on Planable's own pages on Oct 21, 2026, with the link next to it. If they changed since, their page wins.

Where PostWire is better than Planable

  • A free plan that renews every month. 1 business, 10 posts a month, 2 networks per post, with the REST API, the MCP server and an RSS feed, no card and no time limit. Planable's free start is 50 posts in total.
  • 3 businesses for $9 a month. PostWire Starter covers 3 businesses with every network in each post and 3 seats. Planable Basic is $33 a month for one workspace with 60 posts and 4 social pages.
  • Per business, not per workspace and page count. 10 businesses on 5 networks are $29 a month on PostWire Pro. On Planable that is 10 Pro workspaces at $49, $490 a month.
  • No monthly post cap on Pro. PostWire Pro and above publish without a monthly post limit. Planable Basic has 60 posts a workspace a month and Pro 150.
  • RSS feeds in every plan. 1 feed on Free, 25 on Starter ($9) and 100 on Pro, read every 30 minutes on Pro. Planable's pricing page lists no RSS auto-import.
  • The REST API from the free plan. Every PostWire plan has the REST API, the MCP server and the n8n node. Planable's Public API is on Pro ($49 a workspace); its MCP Connector is on Basic and Pro.
  • X posts included in the plan. Starter includes 30 X credits a month and Pro 150; a plain post uses 1.
  • Each network's post written for you from one idea: one request returns the TikTok hook, the YouTube title, the LinkedIn post and the Discord message, each in its own shape, ready to publish.
  • Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram and Discord published directly, next to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook Pages and X. Planable's list of nine channels does not include those four.

Who PostWire is for

  • You want a free plan to build on with the API, n8n or an AI agent, that renews every month.
  • You post for several businesses: 10 businesses × 5 networks is $29 here, against $490 a month for 10 Planable Pro workspaces.
  • You want RSS feeds and recurring posts in the plan, and each network's post written for you from one idea, on Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram and Discord too.

10 businesses on 5 networks each: the monthly bill

An agency or a freelancer with ten clients, each on five networks, about 20 posts per client a month. That is 50 connected accounts, which is where the pricing unit decides the bill.

ToolHow it's countedPer month
PostWire Pro10 businesses fit in Pro (10 businesses, unlimited posts, fair use 10,000 a month; 10 × 20 posts × 5 networks = 1,000)$29
Planable 10 Pro workspaces10 businesses × 5 networks: a workspace on Basic takes 4 social pages, so each business needs Pro (10 pages) at $49 a workspace, 10 × $49 = $490 a month (Basic would be $330 for 4 networks per business)$490

Monthly billing in USD, before tax. Prices as Planable's pricing page showed them on Oct 21, 2026; the page has a monthly/yearly toggle that gives 2 months free on yearly billing, and a volume discount for more than 5 workspaces on request. Source: planable.io/pricing, read on Oct 21, 2026; PostWire's prices come from the code that bills you.

What “a different post per network” means

PostWire writes each network's version from one idea in one request — a hook for TikTok, a searchable title and tags for YouTube, a longer first-person post for LinkedIn, a short community message for Discord — and then publishes them. The same request works from the dashboard, the REST API, the n8n node or an AI agent.
