Why choose Postdom over Planoly
- It makes the posts. Postdom makes videos, slideshows and single images from your website. Planoly offers ideas and caption suggestions, and you make the photos and videos.
- Built for TikTok and Reels. Postdom videos put the hook in on-screen text over real clips and photos. In Postdom's study of 1,272 TikToks and Reels from 160 accounts, on-screen hook text went with 1.79x an account's usual views.
- You pay about $1.30 for each finished post. Starter is $39 a month for 30 posts in any format, and posts you skip don't count. Freelancers charge $100 to $5,000 a month and agencies average $5,107 a month (WebFX, February 2026; Clutch, September 2026).
- A person on screen without filming. In Postdom's study of 2,138 TikTok posts, product brands' videos with their usual person on screen drew 2.51x their usual views, and videos with no person drew 0.42x. On paid plans, an AI persona is how Postdom puts the same person on screen in every video, with no camera.
- You approve in one tap, and it learns. Nothing posts until you approve it. Approved posts go out at 9am and 7pm in your time zone. Once 9 of your last 10 posts of one type are approved without edits, Postdom offers to post that type for you.
