Planoly

A leading visual-first social media planning tool popular among creators, influencers, and small businesses, particularly known for Instagram grid planning.

Planoly is a social media management and content planning platform founded in 2016 and headquartered in Austin, Texas. Originally built as a visual planner for Instagram, the platform has expanded to support multiple social networks including Pinterest, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook, and LinkedIn. It offers tools for scheduling posts, managing content calendars, analyzing performance, and collaborating with teams, making it particularly popular among small businesses, influencers, and marketing professionals. The platform differentiates itself through its visually intuitive grid-planning interface, which allows users to preview how their Instagram feed will look before publishing. Planoly also offers features like Sellit, a shoppable link-in-bio tool, and content ideation capabilities, positioning it as an end-to-end social commerce and content management solution. Its ease of use and affordable pricing tiers have made it a go-to tool for solopreneurs and SMBs. Within the broader social media management and AdTech ecosystem, Planoly competes with tools like Later, Hootsuite, Buffer, and Sprout Social.

The company has grown organically and serves hundreds of thousands of users globally, with a strong foothold in the creator economy segment.
