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.
The app catalogue keeps widening while the platform underneath it gets reworked
Juuno is a digital signage platform that ships one consolidated release note per month, and the August 2026 edition is catalogue growth plus plumbing. Three more screen apps arrive — Clock, While You Wait and WiFi QR — alongside major Media Library work and drag-and-drop uploads directly into playlists and configuration modals. The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.
Planable is shipping every one to two weeks along two tracks.

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.
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.
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.
Juuno is a digital signage platform that ships one consolidated release note per month, and the August 2026 edition is catalogue growth plus plumbing. Three more screen apps arrive — Clock, While You Wait and WiFi QR — alongside major Media Library work and drag-and-drop uploads directly into playlists and configuration modals. The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.
The arc through 2026 is a signage vendor building out a library of small, self-contained screen apps and then repeatedly returning to fix the surfaces that host them — playlists, scenes, schedules and the media library. Commercially the direction is already set: Screen Analytics went out free in beta in March explicitly destined for a paid tier, and the Growth plan shipped in July. August adds no pricing news and instead spends its length on app configuration consistency and a long list of playback and layout fixes.
Expect the Yelp app to return from its pause and more single-purpose screen apps to follow the Clock and WiFi QR pattern. Whether Screen Analytics moves behind the Growth plan is the open question these notes do not answer.
