Plum Paper Planners Comparison (how to choose the right layout and add ons for you)

Plum Paper is one of my top 10 planner brands. With so many different layouts, page sizes and add on options to choose from it can be a bit overwhelming to choose just one so I’ve put together a comparison of all of the layouts for you 🙂 Start by choosing your weekly spread format (horizontal, vertical, student etc.) and go from there.

If you’d like to download a copy to print or save onto your computer, click here. Existing subscribers can login & download here.

Information in this post current as of May 2020.

Plum Paper Planners

  • All planners are coil bound (lay flat)
  • Personalised notebooks come in either coil bound or glue bound (journal)
  • You can request the pages come unpunched (it’s an option when checking out) if you want to punch the pages (discbound or 3 ring) – no additional cost. See how I ARC’d my Plum Paper Planner here. You could also use the Happy Planner discs
  • For planner layouts that allow you to choose your categories (e.g. the Me Planner), there is an additional charge to have them pre-print the categories (around $4 USD). You can also opt to leave them blank and write in your categories (ideal if your needs change / you’re not 100% sure how you’re going to use the planner)
  • There does not appear to be an undated version for any of their planners
  • Monthly calendar is the same for all planner layouts – 2 pages with week starts Sunday with boxes for each day (they do not have a list style monthly calendar)
  • You choose the start month for the planner and the planner’s duration (6 month, 12 month, 13 month, 14 month … 18 month) – price increases the more months you add
  • All covers are a cardstock type cover with clear protective second cover
  • Each layout can be either colourful inside pages or neutral (same price). See my comparison of the two in this post
  • Tabs for each month are included by default
  • Cover personalisation is included for free for all planner layouts and page sizes except the ‘Good to Go’ range
  • They typically have sales on Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, 4th of July (and sometimes other holidays) as well as Black Friday. Black Friday / Cyber Monday is usually the best sale (tends to be 30% off sitewide)
  • My favourite layout from Plum Paper is the Horizontal Weekly + Notes / checklist – see my review in this post
  • I include a pen test in all of my Plum Paper reviews like this one

If you can’t find what you’re looking for you can build a custom notebook too:

  • My custom bullet journal notebook
  • My custom recipe book (they’ve since added more meal planning pages)
  • Meal planning journal review

My past weekly spreads in Plum Paper Planners

  • How (and why) I pre-plan the week using the Plum Paper horizontal lined with notes layout
  • Week 29: Plum Paper Me Planner 
  • Week 41 (part 3): Daily planning bullet journal style (using a Plum Paper grid dot notebook)
  • Trying out the Plum Paper Dashboard – must have accessory or waste of money?
  • Green themed spread in the Plum Paper Vertical Priorities Weekly planner
