In their words

ChatGPT“If you’re an agency managing many clients, I’d narrow the shortlist to Sendible, Agorapulse, Hootsuite, Sprout Social, and Planable.”
Claude“Planable — worth mentioning separately because it solves one problem exceptionally well: client review and approval.”
Gemini“Choose HeyOrca or Planable if your client approval process is currently a mess of emails and spreadsheets.”
