The Fatal Flaw: No Public API
Planoly supports 8 platforms with auto-posting (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Threads, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube) plus Amazon with reminder-only posting. NO public API for automation or integrations. Missing Reddit, Bluesky, and Google Business Profile. If you need programmatic access or full multi-platform coverage, Planoly cannot help.
"Planoly does not offer a public API for third-party integrations or custom automation."
Late: 13 platforms + instant API access on all plans including free.
