Polylane for a small studio or agency

Polylane works solo on Free and Solo, and as a shared team matrix on Studio — one set of projects and one calendar the whole team edits, priced per seat.

This page still walks the solo path first — a solo operator, a founder who still owns delivery, or a studio lead who plans the week and hands out the work elsewhere, on Free or Solo. If several people need to edit one plan together, that is what Studio is for; see "The shared workspace" below for what it costs today.

Agency work is two-dimensional and most planners are one-dimensional. You are not running a list of tasks, you are running six projects against five kinds of deliverable, and the thing you need to see is where those two collide this week.

In Polylane, each column holds a project: a retainer account, a one-off build, an internal rebrand of your own site. Every deliverable destination is a channel: Instagram, LinkedIn, a newsletter or a website. The grid gives you one cell per project per channel, so a project with nothing planned for the newsletter is visible at a glance rather than discovered on Thursday.

A campaign is rarely one task. Copy, design, and build ship as a batch, and when the launch date changes, the whole batch moves.

Link those tasks once and they move together after that. Reschedule the batch and every linked piece follows, so a slipped date costs you one drag instead of an afternoon of rework across three lists.

Drag work from the grid onto a day. That is where an agency week stops being a wish: five projects each needing "something small" adds up to a real number of hours, and the calendar shows it before you promise it.

Matrix, link, calendar. That is the whole loop, and it is the same loop whether you are planning one project or nine.

Overview is the working grid — projects against deliverables. Timeline shows upcoming work across projects. Open a project to read its agenda, including tasks that still need a time slot. Graph shows tasks and linked batches as a network, so you can see which pieces travel together.

Free gives you 2 projects, the default channels plus 2 custom ones, calendar scheduling, and task linking. That is two projects, on one device, with no cloud sync and no calendar export. It is enough to test whether the grid matches how you think.

Project work usually breaks past that quickly. Solo removes the caps — unlimited projects and channels, so every project and every deliverable type gets its own lane — and adds the two things a working studio leans on: cloud sync across devices, and .ics export so the schedule reaches the calendar you already live in. Solo is $180/yr, paid annually; monthly billing in India is ₹499/mo incl. GST, with a 14-day trial. A founding rate may be open — the pricing page shows the current one.

Studio is one set of projects and one calendar your whole team edits, priced per seat — $120/seat/yr, paid annually, or ₹349/seat/mo incl. GST with monthly billing in India, from 2 seats up to 20. Buy the seats the studio needs today and change the count as it grows; there is no bundle size to outgrow.

See current pricing and pick your seat count on the pricing page.

Calendar sync is not two-way. Meetings on your Google or Outlook calendars show as busy time, and on a paid plan the blocks you schedule can be sent to a calendar, but changes made to them there do not come back. If your studio runs on shared calendars, treat Polylane as the source of truth for planned work.

There is no native app yet; Polylane runs in the browser and installs to your home screen. There are no integrations beyond Google Calendar, Outlook and .ics export, so an existing project board comes in as a CSV import rather than through a live connection. There is no AI of our own: Brain dump turns pasted notes into tasks with your own Claude, OpenAI or Gemini key. If any of those is the deciding factor, this is the wrong tool for you this quarter, and we would rather say so than take the first month.

Put your two busiest projects in first, link one campaign, and schedule a week. You will know inside an hour whether the grid matches how you run the studio. Start free — no credit card required.

Paid plans carry a 14-day money-back guarantee and you can cancel any time. Questions about project work specifically? Email kreativish.ai@gmail.com and a person who works on Polylane answers.
