Planable is an approval-first collaboration tool, though it expects every client to log in.
Approval-first collaboration tool; requires client login

## Why teams choose Sked over Planable
- No-login-style review on the Kanban board vs Planable's client login
- Full scheduling + analytics in one tool

## Where Planable genuinely wins
- Planable offers layered approval workflows, ranging from none and optional on lower tiers to required and full multi-level sign-off (team, clients, internal, stakeholders, legal) on higher tiers.
- Content auto-schedules the moment it is approved, with no manual publishing step, and workspaces can lock content once approved so nothing changes after sign-off.
- Planable is organized around per-client/brand workspaces, recommending one workspace per brand or client to keep collaboration, pages, campaigns and assets separated.
- Beyond social, Planable supports Universal Content for long-form pieces such as blogs, newsletters and campaign briefs alongside its nine social channels.

## Choose Sked if
- You want clients to review without forcing them through a separate login.
- You want scheduling, approvals and analytics in one tool rather than a collaboration layer plus another scheduler.
- Instagram-first planning is core to your content.

## Choose Planable if
- Content collaboration and feedback is the entire centre of your process.
- You are happy running a dedicated approval tool alongside your scheduler.

## Pricing

## Switching from Planable
Typical migration time: Most teams move off Planable within a day..

- Export your content from Planable — Pull your planned posts, captions and media out of Planable so nothing in your queue is lost in the move.
- Bring it into Sked — Upload your media and posts into Sked, bulk schedule from a CSV, and rebuild your content queue in the planner.
- Reconnect your social accounts — Authorize your Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest and other profiles directly in Sked so publishing picks up where you left off.
- Rebuild approvals and your calendar — Recreate your review flow on Sked's Kanban approval board, where clients can sign off without a separate login, alongside scheduling and reporting in one place.
