About 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.
