Honest comparison · updated July 2026
Unbusied vs Planable
Planable is collaboration-first social media software: teams and agencies drafting, discussing, and approving posts together before anything publishes.
Here's a fun coincidence: Planable's Basic plan and Unbusied cost exactly the same, $33 a month. That makes this the cleanest comparison on this site, because the only question is what's inside the box.
Planable's box is built for teams that approve content: unlimited users, comment threads, approval flows. It's metered instead on output. Basic includes 60 posts per month and 4 connected social pages, and each platform version of a cross-post counts as its own post (one update to Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn burns three). Analytics is a paid add-on on every plan. Unbusied's box is the inverse: unlimited posts across all seven platforms with analytics included, and no approval workflow at all.

When Planable is the right call
- Clients or stakeholders approve posts before they publish, which is Planable's whole reason to exist.
- Your team discusses content in comment threads next to the drafts.
- You post a modest volume where 60 to 150 posts/month is plenty.
When Unbusied is the right call
- You post daily to seven platforms, which is about 210 platform-posts a month, far past Planable's Basic cap.
- You want analytics in the price, not a $12 to $14 add-on.
- Nobody approves your posts but you.
What you’d actually pay
Same sticker, different meters. Planable Basic is $33/month per workspace with 60 posts and 4 pages; real multi-platform volume pushes you to Pro at $49, and analytics adds $12 to $14/month on top of either. A Pro workspace with analytics lands around $62/month.
Unbusied is $33/month with unlimited posts, all seven platforms, and analytics included. If you need approvals, pay Planable's premium happily, because it's real. If you don't, you're paying it for a signature you'd be giving yourself.
Switching from Planable?
There’s nothing to migrate. Your social accounts stay exactly where they are. Create your Unbusied account, connect the accounts to a Social Set (a few minutes of OAuth), rebuild your upcoming queue, and cancel Planable whenever it feels safe. Most people are fully moved in one sitting.
Fair questions
Does Unbusied have approval workflows or comments?
No. Teammates in a Social Set compose and schedule directly, with no sign-off step. If approval chains are non-negotiable, Planable is the right tool.
How do Unbusied's 'unlimited posts' compare to Planable's caps?
Unbusied doesn't count posts at all. On Planable Basic, one piece of content published to Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn consumes 3 of your 60 monthly posts; a daily cross-poster hits the cap in under a week.
Is Unbusied's analytics an add-on?
No. Delivery status, post performance, and follower trends are part of the $33.
