A Publer alternative that makes the images too

Publer schedules a spreadsheet once every image exists. PlanBatch makes those images from the same rows, then schedules them.

  2. The same template with different values: a stoneware mug at $12, hand-glazed in four colours, under a photo of shelves of teal and pink mugs.2
  3. The same template again: a garden bistro set at $149, painted steel table and folding chairs, under a photo of the set in a courtyard.3
  4. The same template a fourth time: a mechanical keyboard with a 75% layout, $119 reduced from $139, under an overhead photo of the keyboard on a desk.4
Four rows, one template. Each row became the post under its number.

The column your CSV is missing

No image URL anywhere. These are real PlanBatch templates rendering in your browser from the rows below.

Then, in PlanBatch, the same rows go on the calendar and publish at their slot.

One template, three brands

The same layout for three clients, each post set in that client's own brand kit.

When Publer is the better tool

Publer publishes to far more networks than this does: if you need one missing from the PlanBatch column above, Publer covers it and PlanBatch does not. If your images already come out of a designer, a template pack or another tool, the thing this page is about will not help you, and a broader scheduler is the right choice.

PlanBatch is worth it when the images do not exist yet, and making thirty of them by hand is the reason the calendar is empty.

Where the spreadsheet stops being enough

Same file, more columns

Instead of a media URL you never had, the row carries the words: headline, price, the photo if you have one.

The images get made

Every row renders on a branded template with your fonts, colours and logo, in the same import.

Then it schedules

The batch lands on a calendar and publishes itself to every channel you connected.

Common questions

Not covered here? Write to info@planbatch.com.

What can PlanBatch do that Publer cannot?

Make the images. Publer's bulk CSV schedules posts using media you link to by URL, so the pictures have to exist before you start. PlanBatch renders them from the spreadsheet rows themselves, on branded templates, and then schedules them.

What can Publer do that PlanBatch cannot?

Publish to far more networks, and take larger uploads. Publer covers many platforms beyond the ones PlanBatch publishes to, and accepts up to 500 posts in one CSV against our 300 at most. If you post to a network we do not publish to, PlanBatch will not replace it.

Do I have to move off Publer to try this?

No. Nothing here touches your Publer account, and the two can run side by side while you see whether generating the images from a spreadsheet is worth the switch.

Can it do carousels from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Rows sharing a value in a grouping column become one multi-slide post, up to 10 slides, which is the most Instagram accepts from a scheduler. Each slide is one generated image.

How many images do I get?

The free plan includes 30 generated images and 10 rows per upload, with 2 connected channels. Pro is 1000 images, 100 rows and 9 channels; Agency and Studio are unlimited images, under fair use, with up to 300 rows.

Does it need a designer or an API?

Neither. The templates are ready to use and the import is a form: upload the file, map the columns to template fields, generate. Columns whose names match are mapped for you.
