Last updated: July 27, 2026 · A Growently comparison guide

Short answer: Planoly is a beloved Instagram-first visual planner — great for designing a grid, priced from $16/month but limited to one social set and ~60 uploads on the entry plan. Growently is short-form-first, flat-priced from $10/month, and includes unlimited posts and multiple accounts. For video-heavy creators running several accounts, Growently fits better; for a curated single Instagram feed, Planoly is lovely.

Video-first vs feed-first

Planoly's heart is the Instagram grid. Its visual planner, drag-and-drop feed preview, and polished mobile app make it a favourite for creators who obsess over aesthetics. It handles TikTok and Pinterest too, but the identity is Instagram planning.

Growently is built for shipping video. Bulk-upload a batch of TikToks and Reels via CSV, queue them, recycle winners with evergreen queues, and publish at full quality — no monthly upload cap on paid plans. If your bottleneck is getting lots of video out consistently, that's the workflow that helps.
