Both cover social media management. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Plan the grid before anything is posted
Planoly started as a visual planner for Instagram and still leads with the thing that made it: drag posts around a mock grid until the feed looks right, then schedule from there. Pinterest and TikTok came later and the link in bio is included rather than sold separately. Pricing is by social set and by user, both of which can be added one at a time, which suits somebody running two accounts rather than twenty.
Our note
Count your social sets and users before comparing tiers, since the per-unit add-ons are where this quietly gets expensive. If the grid preview is not the thing you want, a general scheduler will cover the rest for less.

Scheduling with a client approval step built in
Sendible sits where an agency needs somebody outside the tool to sign off before a post goes out. Drafts route to a client, the client approves or comments, and only then does it publish, which is the workflow that keeps freelancers off email threads about a caption. The daily posting limit is per user and stated on every plan, so read that number before the price. It covers the usual networks and states which account types work on each.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
