Our verdict on MediaPlanHQ
MediaPlanHQ is a web-based media planning tool from Genidox Inc. for advertiser and agency marketing teams. It brings placement details, campaign budgets, expenses, creative work, approvals, and invoice reconciliation into a shared workflow. Agencies coordinating placements and budgets alongside creative production may find its broad workflow relevant; teams seeking a free plan or a tool outside the web platform should look elsewhere.
Planning covers media placements with run dates, costs, creative specifications, deadlines, files, and custom fields. Teams can track allocations and agency compensation, build blocking charts in calendar or broadcast views, and export charts to Excel. Reports analyze media buys by media, category, market, and campaign. Customizable authorization and insertion orders include numbering and version history, while booking can trigger status changes, creative briefs, expected invoices, and calendar publishing. This mix is suited to teams that need planning to carry through booking and delivery, rather than stopping at a schedule or budget view.
Pricing is paid, with a 30-day free trial that does not require a card. Standard costs $45 per user monthly with monthly billing, or $39 per user monthly on an annual plan; both include unlimited media plans, organizations, vendors, creative storage, and email support. A $5-per-month Collaborator license supports comments, file changes, status transitions, and specialized planning and production views. MediaPlanHQ also includes creative project coordination, marketing request forms, and supplier invoice checks against insertion orders. Its scope may suit small and mid-market teams coordinating these connected tasks; buyers who need a free option or a non-web platform should consider alternatives.
