Looking for a Planable alternative? Meet Agency Control Room
Planable nailed content approvals. But if you’re running an agency — many clients, reports, team roles, all under your own brand — you need more than a review tool. Here’s the honest comparison.
Why agencies look past Planable
Planable is genuinely good at what it does: a clean, collaborative space to draft posts and get them approved. Agencies tend to outgrow it for three reasons — they want the client-facing side to carry their brand, they need more than approvals (tasks, briefs, reporting), and they want pricing that doesn’t climb per workspace as they add clients.
Where Agency Control Room is different
It’s your brand, not the tool’s
Clients open a workspace with your agency’s logo and colours. The whole experience feels like software you own.
A full client operation, not just approvals
Calendar, creative briefs, task assignment, team roles, competitor tracking and white-label reports — the entire monthly workflow, not just the sign-off step.
Priced for agencies in India
Rupee pricing, without a per-workspace cost that penalises you for landing more clients.
