PostSimple vs. Planoly
Planoly is popular for Instagram planning. But as a business owner, you need more than a pretty grid. PostSimple creates your complete content for you.
Summary
Planoly is a visual planner focused on Instagram and Pinterest. Great for your grid, but you have to create all content yourself. PostSimple takes a different approach: AI generates complete posts with copy and design for all your channels. Plus, PostSimple is cheaper (from €12.50/month vs. $16/month) and supports more channels, including Google Business.

AI & Content Generation
Planoly offers limited AI features, such as caption suggestions. But the heavy lifting is still on you: taking photos, writing copy, building a cohesive grid. PostSimple automates the entire creative process. The AI knows your business, tone of voice and brand identity and generates complete posts with copy and design. No more coming up with content yourself.
Instagram focus vs. multi-channel
Planoly excels at visual Instagram planning. The grid preview is handy if you value how your feed looks. But most business owners post across multiple channels. PostSimple supports Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and Google Business from one platform. Plus, the WordPress plugin lets you generate posts directly from your website.
Pricing
Planoly's Starter plan costs $16 per month and offers scheduling for Instagram and Pinterest. More channels and features require the Growth plan at $28 per month. PostSimple starts at €12.50 per month and immediately provides AI content generation, design templates and scheduling for all channels. You pay less and don't need separate tools for content creation.
Ease of use
Planoly has a beautiful, clean interface for visual planning. But you still spend time creating content. PostSimple is equally user-friendly, but saves you the creative work. Setup takes literally 1 minute. Add your business information and the AI gets to work immediately. The Dutch interface makes it extra accessible for local business owners.
Who is each tool for?
Planoly is a great choice if you're an Instagram creator or influencer who wants to build a perfect grid. The visual planning is ideal for that. PostSimple is built for business owners who want to be active on multiple channels without spending hours on content. The AI does the creative work, so you can focus on your business.
