Tools, Tips, and Tricks to build a life you love

Planoly vs Later

November 24, 2021 by Laura Calhoun

If you’re using Instagram for your business, then you know the importance of being able to preview your feed and schedule out your content. I’m breaking down two of the top Instagram scheduling tools, Planoly vs Later, to see which is best for you!

Planoly vs Later | Instagram Scheduling Tools



Full disclosure: the Hey Jessica team uses Planoly to schedule our Instagram posts. I’m most familiar with both app’s Instagram posting capabilities, so that’s where this review will focus!

Functions

Planoly is an app and website that allows you to schedule content to Instagram and Pinterest.

Planoly vs Later

Later, on the other hand, allows you to schedule content to Instagram, Facebook TikTok, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. It also has an app and website.

Planoly vs Later

Both Planoly and Later allow you to schedule Instagram posts. However, those features are limited. In Planoly, you can only schedule single image posts to auto-post IF you have authenticated your business account via Facebook. In Later, you have to have a business Instagram account to auto-post. Otherwise, the schedule feature will send a push notification to your phone via the app that reminds you to post.

Stories are also not eligible for auto-posting. You can schedule a reminder to be sent to your phone just like a post.

Integrations

Planoly integrates directly with Canva (which is one of the best features ever)! You can connect your Canva account and add graphics straight to Planoly that way.

Later integrates with Unsplash to bring you a collection of stock photos directly in their app that you can schedule too! So if you have a business account and like those aesthetic desk photos, it can be an easy one-step process.

Both apps let you upload straight from Google Drive and DropBox.

Feed Planning Tools

Planoly and Later both let you preview your feed visually during the scheduling process.

Planoly has the option to “add placeholders,” which I use all the time. You can pick a colored square and drag it around in your feed to help position your content before you have 3 images ready to upload.

Later and Planoly both offer the ability to see your scheduled content on a calendar view.

Analytics

Both tools offer you the ability to see the analytics of your account and most recent posts on Instagram.

Later has more robust features in the analytics category, including being able to schedule your first comment.

Hashtag Management

Both Planoly and Later allow you to create unlimited hashtag banks! This can be really useful if you have multiple content pillars that you publish on Instagram for different audiences.

Price

Planoly offers a free plan for one user, limited to 30 uploads per month. You can check out the rest of the pricing plan details below. One of my favorite Planoly pricing features is the ability to price out a custom plan that suits your needs.

Planoly vs Later

Later offers a free plan as well, and the pricing goes up from there. Their free plan allows only 10 uploads per month.

Planoly vs Later

Overall Verdict

If you’re looking for an Instagram scheduling tool and are considering Planoly vs Later, the truth is that they are very similar in terms of features! The biggest differences are price and the interface. Both apps have free trials that will let you see which one feels better for you!

If you’re stuck moving forward because you can’t make a decision or you think something isn’t good enough…
⏰ Set a timer or a deadline and go with your best option at the time.
➡️ Ask yourself - does it work? Does the process or system WORK? Cool, it’s done for now then.
💣 get an accountability partner or coach who will help you move forward quickly.
❤️ Remember - NOTHING is perfect and if you wait until things are perfect, they’ll never get done.

Alright, drop your Qs below! 👇🏻
My life is different than most people in my indust My life is different than most people in my industry - like VERY different.
👉🏻 I live on a farm 🐄
👉🏻 I live in a SMALL town 
👉🏻 I am 2.5+ hours from a major airport ✈️ 
👉🏻 It takes me about an hour and a half to get to Target 😳
👉🏻 I got engaged on the porch of a horse barn and had my wedding reception in a barn
Like I say, a VERY different life 😂 - I love seeing the look of shock when I tell someone I meet at a conference how far I live from an airport or a Target, it’s actually kind of fun.
And, as different as it is, I love it SO much. I love that my kids get to grow up on a farm learning about animals AND the meaning of hard work. I love that I run into at least 1 person I know every time I go to the grocery store. I love getting behind tractors on the highway (unless I’m in a hurry, and then it’s very annoying, ha). And, surprisingly enough - I don’t mind being that far from the airport - I get to have long drives by myself before the crazy of travel to listen to books, podcasts, or plan my next move.
I would definitely move Target closer to me if I could though but, hey, I don’t have the stereotypical “went to target for toilet paper and spent $300” experience - silver lining. 😅
Tell me a weird fact about you! 👇🏻

YouTube changed my life. It may sound/feel dramat YouTube changed my life.
It may sound/feel dramatic but it’s true. I mean, yes, it helped increased my income BUT, more than that, it helped me see that I LOVE to create content and it made it possible to make a living with my camera which has always been a dream for me.
