Annum vs PublishPress Planner

Annum is web-based integrated marketing planning software that brings campaigns, channels, content, and online and offline tactics into a shared calendar. Its timeline or flow view can show several months week by week and expand to a year or longer. Planners can enter expenses for individual tactics and review budget summaries across channels. Calendars of Interest include holidays, cultural observances, consumer spending events, and predicted email performance insights for B2B and B2C. The Starter plan includes 10 users, one unified calendar, unlimited channels and tactics, and a five-year historical archive. It costs $99 a month billed annually; monthly subscriptions are $116 per month. Annum also offers Advanced and Enterprise plans, with integration fees depending on customer requirements. A 14-day trial provides one calendar or plan and up to 10 seats, requires no credit card, and includes live onboarding training on request. The app is designed for laptop use, not tablets or smartphones.

PublishPress Planner helps teams plan, manage, and schedule content on WordPress sites. Its Content Calendar shows planned and published items, supports creating content, and lets users move an item to a new publication date by dragging it. The Content Overview groups work by status, category, or user and can produce a printable summary. A Content Board provides a column for each status and lets users move posts between stages. Teams can set editorial notification timing, recipients, and message details. The calendar exports schedules to Google Calendar and other iCal-compatible software, but changes made in external calendars do not sync back to WordPress. Planner Free costs nothing and includes the calendar, overview, board, notifications, and calendar export. Paid annual bundles start with Business at $129 a year, billed annually; Agency costs $299 a year, billed annually, and Unlimited costs $499 a year, billed annually. These bundles include PublishPress Pro plugins, including Planner Pro, which adds reminders, post metadata in notifications, removal of PublishPress branding and ads, and priority personal support.
