Plan vs Loomly.
Loomly is a collaboration-first scheduler with neat approval workflows and a tidy asset library. Plan is a publishing governance layer with brand voice scoring at the publish gate.
Loomly is a collaboration tool dressed as a scheduler.
Loomly's approval workflows are well-designed — multi-stage review, comment threads on drafts, post-idea suggestions from RSS feeds, a tidy asset library. The product is built for the moment when 3+ people need to agree on a single post before it goes live.
For marketing teams who collaborate heavily on every post — a brand manager, a copywriter, a designer, a client — Loomly was built around that workflow.
The question isn't whether Loomly enables collaboration. It does. The question is whether collaboration without a voice gate just means more people approving the same generic AI-generated draft.
Five things only Plan does.
Loomly optimises for team consensus. Plan optimises for voice integrity — the doctrine the team is supposed to be approving against.

Loomly is the right call for you.
- Your team has 3–5 people who must approve every post and you live inside the comment thread.
- RSS-fed post-idea suggestions are core to how you fill the calendar.
- Asset library / DAM features matter more than voice scoring.
- You don't have a brand voice you can articulate as structured data.
Plan is the right call for you.
- Your team approves posts but you can't articulate what they're approving against — voice scoring fixes that.
- You're an agency tired of paying for every reviewer's seat.
- You want governance + audit log, not just collaboration.
- Australian sovereignty + no training on your content matters.
