If you’re really interested in fitness, you should compare the fitness add-ons from each company and determine which one best fits your needs. Since add-ons are such a big part of these planners, definitely consider what kind you want and compare the options from each company. Students should go with PurpleTrail because it comes in a smaller size and hard cover, which makes it easier to carry around in a backpack. Excessive planners, business women, and moms should go with Plum Paper because it offers the most note pages and entire sections for both family and business. If you want add-ons dispersed through your planner, then Plum Paper is right for you. Plum Paper doesn’t offer hard covers, so if you want a durable planner, you should go with PurpleTrail. The two planner companies are pretty even, but when choosing the right one for you, consider just how many add-ons you want and how long you want your planner to work for you. Add-ons are $3.95 each, stickers are $7, and adding a folder is $5. Each additional month adds about $2 and add-ons are $4.50 each. PurpleTrail’s prices vary depending on the cover style and type you choose, but on average you can expect to pay anywhere from $30-$60. If you choose Plum Paper, the regular 12-month planner will cost you $31 and the large planner will be $41.

There are 17 section add-ons total, and a sticker add-on that are all put in the back of the planners. If you go with PurpleTrail, you can choose a maximum of four add-ons. They allow you to make your planner perfect for your life - their add-ons aren’t identical though. The add-ons offered by both Plum Paper and PurpleTrail are phenomenal.

On top of that, there are more than 200 cover designs in both soft or hard covers for you to choose from.

Plum Paper’s weekly planners come in two sizes: The regular (7.5×9) and large (8.5×11).

Your Starting Pointįirst, you need to know the foundation of these planners. Each company offers a list of potential add-ons for the planners, a page for monthly planning, and both planners come wire-bound. Each one has colorful tabs, fonts, and monthly color schemes that give personality to the planners. Covers aside, the inside pages are bright and cheery.

These two have quite a few things in common-both are very, very colorful. Luckily for you, confused consumer, I’ve used both. Unless you have one of each in your hands, it’s hard to gauge just which one has the features you need the most.

These two brands are very similar, but they offer different customizable features and layouts. PurpleTrail and Plum Paper are two of the very few planner companies that offer extensive customization options. Highly customizable planners are pretty much on every planner-lover’s list of must-haves. Disclosure: The following product(s) may have been sent to Earn Spend Live in exchange for a review.
