Ampli

Your agentic social media scheduler: plan and publish to every channel from one calendar, or let your AI agent schedule for you.

Ampli is your agentic social media scheduler built for creators and small teams. Schedule and publish to TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook, YouTube and X, from one calendar and queue. Write once and tailor the caption for each channel, bulk-schedule a week of posts in one go, publish now or save drafts, and post every format that matters: Reels, Stories, carousels, Shorts, Instagram trial reels, TikTok drafts and long posts for X Premium accounts. When the queue runs low, Ampli can fill it with slideshows, carousels and pins built on templates modeled after posts that went viral.

What sets Ampli apart is that it is built for AI agents. Its MCP server and REST API let Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf and any MCP client schedule and publish for you on autopilot: upload your photos and videos, post them across every channel on a schedule you describe in plain words, or run one of the preset viral templates to create the post first. Agent access is included on every plan, and posts your agent writes use no Ampli credits.

Best for: Creators, founders and small teams who want one calendar for every channel, run by hand or by their AI agent

Which one should you choose?

Choose Ampli if…

You manage several channels for one brand. Ampli Pro is $29 a month for 8 channels and unlimited posts, all on one calendar. Planable Basic is $39 per workspace for 4 pages and 60 posts a month.
You post to X. Planable Basic allows one X post every 24 hours and the trial allows none. Ampli publishes plain X posts on every plan, including Free, with no extra fee for X; X posts with a link need a paid plan and have a monthly cap.
You want your AI agent scheduling on a free plan. Ampli's MCP server and REST API work on every plan, even Free, so Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor can upload media and schedule or publish across every channel from a plain-language request. Planable has no ongoing free plan, and its public API starts on Pro.
You want help filling the queue. When you need posts to schedule, Ampli makes slideshows, carousels and Pinterest pins on templates modeled after posts that went viral, while Planable's AI works on the post text.

Planable may suit you if…

Clients or managers review your posts. Planable is built for comments, suggested edits and approvals, with required approvals on Pro and multi-level chains on Enterprise.
Your review team is large. Every plan includes unlimited users, so adding reviewers does not raise the bill.
You publish to Google Business Profile, or want a mobile app, recurring posts and analytics and inbox add-ons next to your calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ampli better than Planable?

For creators and small teams, yes. Ampli schedules 8 channels with unlimited posts from one calendar for $29 a month, against $39 per workspace for 4 pages and 60 posts on Planable Basic, and has a free plan with 50 published posts every month. It can also make posts when your queue runs low. Planable fits better if clients or managers need to comment on and approve every post.

Is Ampli cheaper than Planable?

For a single brand, yes. Ampli Pro is $29 a month for 8 channels and Premium $39 for 15, with unlimited posts. Planable Basic is $39 per workspace a month ($33 billed yearly) for 4 social pages and 60 posts, Pro is $59 ($49 yearly) for 10 pages and 150 posts, and analytics ($14) and the social inbox ($9) cost extra per workspace each month.

Does Planable have a free plan?

Not an ongoing one. You get 50 free posts in total with no time limit and no credit card, then you need a paid plan, and X publishing is not available during that trial. Ampli Free gives you 2 channels and 50 published posts every month, also without a card.

Which is better for posting to X?

Ampli. It publishes plain X posts on every plan, including Free, and X Premium accounts can publish long posts. X posts that contain a link need a paid plan and are capped each month (30 on Starter, 90 on Pro, 150 on Premium). Planable Basic publishes one X post every 24 hours, and Planable's free trial can't publish to X.

Do Planable and Ampli work with Claude or ChatGPT?

Both do. With Ampli, Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor can upload media and schedule or publish across every channel from a plain-language request, on every plan including Free, and can also generate a designed slideshow, carousel or pin on a Ampli template. Posts your own agent writes use no Ampli credits. Planable includes an MCP connector on every plan and a public API from Pro up.

Does Ampli include approvals like Planable?

Not yet. Ampli focuses on scheduling and publishing across 8 networks from one calendar, and on making posts when your queue runs low. If clients or managers must comment on and approve every post, Planable is built for that, with unlimited users on every plan.
