The short answer
Planable is excellent for client approvals, but it is a subscription priced per workspace (one per client), analytics is a paid add-on and its AI does not create images or video. BrainPost has no subscription and no per-workspace fee, includes approvals and insights, and generates captions, images and videos with AI.
