Planoly alternative

The best Planoly alternative for scheduling everywhere

Planoly is built around one job — planning a cohesive Instagram grid with a drag-and-drop visual planner. The narrowness is also the limitation: its network list is short, and anything past visual grid planning (long-form platforms, community networks, deep automation) isn't really what it's for.

Why Tesselith is the top pick

Everything beyond the grid — long-form (Dev.to, Hashnode), community (Discord, Telegram), and the fediverse (Bluesky, Mastodon) in the same calendar as Instagram.
Automation, AI writing, and real analytics, not just visual planning.
One calendar and one price that scales as channels are added, instead of a tool scoped to a single network's aesthetic.
Client approvals and a portal for anyone managing Instagram on behalf of a client or brand.

Planoly alternative: questions people ask

Is Tesselith's Instagram grid preview as good as Planoly's?: Tesselith shows a real per-post preview of how content will look before it publishes, covering the actual question a grid preview answers — what will this look like when it's live. Planoly's drag-and-drop 9-grid rearrange view is a specific extra layer on top of that, at the cost of a network list that stops at Instagram and a handful of others.
Why would an Instagram-only creator need more networks?: Most creators end up cross-posting to at least one or two other networks as their audience grows, and that's exactly where Planoly's short network list becomes a hard wall — Tesselith covers the same Instagram workflow without that ceiling.
Does switching from Planoly mean losing the grid-planning workflow?: The core need — seeing how a post will look before it's live — is fully covered by Tesselith's previews. The specific drag-and-drop 9-grid rearrange view doesn't have a pixel-identical equivalent, but it's a thin layer on top of what the previews already show.
