— Planable alternative · Flat, not per workspace

The Planable alternative
without the per-workspace meter.

Planable charges $33–49 per workspace per month, caps posts at 60–150 a month, and sells analytics as a $12–14 add-on — per workspace. Zilfu is one flat plan from $19/month with unlimited posts, unlimited workspaces, analytics included, and approvals on every tier. First 2 accounts free, forever.

  • Unlimited posts on paid plans
  • Analytics included, not an add-on
  • Approvals on every plan
— The 10-second version

Planable meters approvals per workspace. Zilfu includes them, flat.

If multi-level approval chains, on-post annotations, and reviewing briefs and emails are your core workflow, Planable earns its price. If you want client sign-off, analytics, and unlimited posts without paying for every client workspace, you're in the right place.

Zilfu is a flat-rate alternative to Planable: where Planable bills per workspace — $33 to $49 per workspace per month, plus $12 to $14 per workspace for analytics — and caps posts at 60 to 150 a month, Zilfu is one flat plan from $19/month with unlimited posts, unlimited workspaces, analytics included, and approvals on every tier including Free. Planable's review workflow goes deeper — multi-level chains, on-post annotations, and universal content for briefs and emails — while Zilfu keeps sign-off simple (approve or request changes) and never meters it.

  • You publish more than 150 posts a month; Zilfu's paid plans are unlimited, and drafts never count.
  • You need approvals, free client reviewers, and analytics included on every tier — even Free.

For a small agency, Zilfu runs at a fraction of Planable's per-workspace bill — with unlimited posts, analytics, and approvals included rather than metered and sold as add-ons. Where Planable leads is review depth: multi-level approval chains, on-post annotations, and universal content for briefs and emails.
— Why teams switch

Approvals shouldn't come with a meter.

Planable's review workflow is genuinely deep. But every client adds a workspace bill, every post counts against a cap, and analytics costs extra on each one.
