Looking for a Canva Content Planner alternative with real team collaboration?
Canva Content Planner schedules designs to social but your content team needs task tracking, team chat, and a real workflow. Trilo gives you content planning with collaboration tools that go way beyond a posting calendar.
TL;DR
Canva Content Planner is a basic scheduling add-on to a design tool. It lacks team chat, task assignment, and real project management. Trilo gives your content team a full workspace with content planning, chat, tasks, docs, and AI coworkers. Choose Canva for design-first scheduling. Choose Trilo for full content team collaboration.
Why teams leave Canva
A planner, not a workflow
Canva Content Planner is a calendar that posts designs to social. It does not track who is creating what, manage deadlines, or help your team collaborate on content strategy.
No team communication
Canva has comments on designs but no chat, no channels, no real-time team discussion. Your content strategy conversations still happen in Slack.
Limited to Canva designs
Content Planner only works with content created in Canva. Blog posts, newsletters, video content, and anything not designed in Canva cannot be planned here.
No task management
Who is writing copy? Who is reviewing the design? When is it due? Canva Content Planner does not answer these questions. You need a separate project management tool.

How Trilo helps
A Content Pipeline, Not Just a Posting Calendar
Canva Content Planner shows when designs post to social. Trilo gives you the full pipeline: brainstorm ideas in chat, assign tasks on kanban boards, write briefs in docs, track deadlines on the calendar, and review work together. Every content type, not just Canva designs.
Collaborate Where the Work Happens
With Canva, content feedback is a comment on a design. Strategy discussions happen in Slack. Task assignments happen in Asana. Trilo keeps everything in one workspace: discuss in chat, assign on boards, write in docs, and plan on the calendar. One place for your entire content operation.
AI That Helps Plan and Create Content
Canva AI generates designs. Trilo AI coworkers help with the rest of your content workflow: drafting social copy, turning meeting notes into content briefs, suggesting topics from team discussions, and keeping your content calendar on track.
