The Planoly alternative built for agencies
A grid-planning tool built around how an Instagram feed will look. If you are searching for an alternative, it is usually because you run content for several clients — and that is the job ContentCal is built for.
Why agencies look past Planoly
- Grid planning covers one platform well and leaves the rest of the calendar unmanaged.
- No approval pipeline for teams that need a second pair of eyes before publishing.
What ContentCal does instead
- One calendar across platforms, where a post published to several counts as a single piece of work.
- Role-gated approvals, so an Editor can draft but only an Admin can publish.
- Per-client workspaces rather than per-account juggling.
Questions people ask
Is ContentCal a good Planoly alternative?
If you run content for more than one client, yes. ContentCal is built around client workspaces rather than around channels: each client gets its own calendar, social accounts, idea vault and team roster, and your team moves between them from a single login. Pricing is in rupees and the Starter plan is free.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Starter workspace is free forever and needs no credit card — one brand workspace with the content calendar. Sign in with Google and it is created instantly.
Can I move my existing content across?
Yes. ContentCal imports tasks, analytics data and team rosters from Excel, so the spreadsheets your agency already runs on come with you instead of being retyped.
Do clients need an account to review content?
No. You generate a read-only link and the client opens the calendar in a browser — no login, no seat, no training. You can revoke any link in one click.
