Planoly alternative
The Planoly alternative that scales past Instagram.
Planoly is Instagram-first and priced per social set, one account per network, so a second Instagram is a new paid set and teammates are paid seats. Zilfu is flat from $19/month for 10 accounts in any mix, with unlimited users.
Planoly perfects the Instagram feed. Zilfu runs every account.
If a flawless grid and a shoppable storefront are the job, Planoly is lovely.
Add a second account on the same network, or a teammate, and Planoly meters it. Zilfu is flat from $19. Bring the whole team, route posts through approvals, send clients branded reports and automate it with the API. The bill only moves when your account count does.

Leaving Planoly, answered.
Is Zilfu a good Planoly alternative?
If you have outgrown a single Instagram account or want more than Instagram, yes. Planoly is Instagram-first and priced per social set, one account per network, so each extra account or brand is another paid set. Zilfu holds several accounts per network on a flat plan from $19/month with unlimited users. Planoly still leads on its visual grid planner and shoppable storefront.
I run two Instagram accounts. What's the difference?
On Planoly, two Instagram accounts means two social sets, which costs more. On Zilfu, both live in one workspace at no extra charge; your plan only caps the total number of connected accounts, not how many sit on the same network.
Does Zilfu have a visual Instagram grid planner like Planoly?
No. Planoly's visual feed and grid planner is its signature strength, and Zilfu doesn't replicate it. Zilfu focuses on scheduling, approvals, analytics and multi-account publishing across every network. If a polished Instagram aesthetic preview is central to your work, Planoly does that better.
Does Zilfu charge per seat like Planoly?
No. Every Zilfu plan includes unlimited team members. Planoly includes a small number of users per tier and charges per extra seat.
Can clients approve posts on Zilfu?
Yes, on every plan, with unlimited reviewers. Planoly's approvals are role-based on its Growth tier and up, and reviewers occupy paid user seats.
Which networks does each support?
Zilfu supports Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads, Pinterest, Facebook and X, with YouTube in development. Planoly is built around Instagram and also covers YouTube and Amazon.
