What is Planable?
Competitor Analytics keeps deepening while the API and MCP make the whole tool callable.
Planable is shipping every one to two weeks along two tracks. Competitor Analytics launched in June with Instagram and Facebook, added YouTube, TikTok and LinkedIn in July, and now breaks results down by content format with per-account rankings and CSV export. Separately, the public API and MCP connector reached v2 with campaigns, custom views and competitor data, while publishing coverage filled in Facebook Stories, Google Business Profile video, and Instagram AI content labeling.
What is Statusbrew?
Statusbrew lets guests join project Updates threads, extending its client-review push.
Statusbrew's recent releases keep widening what outside reviewers can do. Guests can now comment, with links and images, in the Updates section of projects and reports if they are recipients of the external sharing link, following image attachments on post and event comments the week before. Brew AI and the Engage assistant also gained Dutch translation, and a batch of Planner and Engage bugs was fixed.

Planable

Competitor Analytics keeps deepening while the API and MCP make the whole tool callable.
◆ Current state
Planable is shipping every one to two weeks along two tracks. Competitor Analytics launched in June with Instagram and Facebook, added YouTube, TikTok and LinkedIn in July, and now breaks results down by content format with per-account rankings and CSV export. Separately, the public API and MCP connector reached v2 with campaigns, custom views and competitor data, while publishing coverage filled in Facebook Stories, Google Business Profile video, and Instagram AI content labeling.
◆ Where it's heading
The two tracks answer the same question from different ends: Planable wants to be where a social team both decides what to post and measures whether it worked, and it wants an assistant to be able to do either through the API. The insistence that API and MCP writes still land as drafts in the approval flow is the load-bearing design choice - it lets Planable open the product to agents without giving up the review step agencies actually pay for. Analytics remains gated behind a paid add-on, which is where the monetization is pointed.
◆ Prediction
Competitor Analytics is the active surface and should keep gaining dimensions - likely posting cadence or timing benchmarks after format - and AI content labeling will extend past Instagram as other networks open third-party access.
Statusbrew
6.3MARKETING
Statusbrew lets guests join project Updates threads, extending its client-review push.
◆ Current state
Statusbrew's recent releases keep widening what outside reviewers can do. Guests can now comment, with links and images, in the Updates section of projects and reports if they are recipients of the external sharing link, following image attachments on post and event comments the week before. Brew AI and the Engage assistant also gained Dutch translation, and a batch of Planner and Engage bugs was fixed.
◆ Where it's heading
Projects are becoming the hub for assets, reports and updates, and the October releases open that hub to clients and approvers outside the organization. AI features are expanding by language rather than capability.
◆ Prediction
Expect further guest and external-link work, likely closing the gap where assets can't be viewed through external sharing links, which earlier notes flagged.
